Don't think some of those are valid criticisms either.
The EU is one of the only political bodies in the world that posts all of it's stuff online:

France and Germany are always and will always be considerably pro-EU.
If you're talking about the Netherlands, election projections and polls are showing a massive win for VVD (a liberal party, part of the largest liberal EU coalition, ultimately very pro-EU) and the PvdA (left wing party). (

In a neighbouring country, Belgium, it's mostly the left-wing parties who are gaining popularity, and Belgium, heart of the EU in Brussels is often a good barometer for the elections everywhere else in West-Europe. It's only the east european countries who are going through a sort of puberty phase in being rebelious.
So while on the internet there's a lot of loud right wingers and anti-EU posters, overall it seems that the EU is gaining stronger support within West-Europe itself. The only outlier is the UK with it's Brexit plans, but almost every expert is calling it out as a disaster about to happen, and one the UK people might quickly change their opinion about in the nearest elections after a few years of nasty recessions.
Everywhere else the support for the EU is growing, the pro-EU parties are projected to gain more votes in their next elections and more and more people in West-Europe and Scandinavia are starting to self-identify as European first and
<insert their country's nationality> second.
Anyone checking the facts and going by the numbers would be an idiot to think the EU is losing support or weakening.
