Abstract

The people and political parties in the Republic of Cyprus were very pro-EU before the outbreak of the eurozone crisis. Τhe 2013 bail-in, unprecedented for the EU, damaged confidence in the the Cypriot banking system and heightened Cypriots’ negative feelings towards the EU, leading to a dramatic decline in support. The article investigates whether there was a transformation of the supply and demand of euroscepticism in Cyprus, examining both parties and popular attitudes during the crisis years (2009–2019). A hard eurosceptic response proved to be only a fleeting moment and was not sustained. Utilitarianism, security and smallness seem key to understanding Cypriot patterns of soft euroscepticism which appear to fluctuate accordingly.
