Southern Europe sceptical of EU's economic policy

If "no" prevails in Sunday's referendum on constiutional reforms in Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi could resign, opening the door to populist, anti-establishment politicians. Italians are frustrated with the status quo, with Britain's decision to exit the EU further proof of people turning their backs on the establishment. Italian frustration is particularly evident when it comes to how the EU handles economic issues, according to Pew Research. As the following infographic shows, 68 percent of people in Italy disapprove of the EU's economic policy.
