Popis: This paper analyses the progression of eurosceptic groups within the European Parliament between 2009 and 2019. Through pre-established definitions of Euroscepticism as a political phenomenon, we conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis, which gathers data from the official results of 3 European legislative elections (2009, 2014 and 2019), and later interprets them with the aid of previous academic production on eurosceptic values and strategies within the European Union’s institutions. As a conclusion, we seek to demonstrate that Euroscepticism is a consequence of a greater scenario, which relates to a gradual loss of public trust in the European political establishment.
