• The claim uses the undefined phrase “social and ideological experiments,” which does not correspond to any standard category in EU public‑opinion surveys, budget classifications, or statistical datasets.
• No verified claim, existing analysis, or poll was found that asks EU citizens whether they are willing to “pay for social and ideological experiments.”
• Available Eurobarometer data point to mixed but generally positive attitudes toward social spending in specific areas (e.g., 55 % of Europeans favour more government spending on family policies¹) and broad support for EU action on security and social fairness²³, yet these do not map onto the broad, loaded wording of the claim.
• Because the claim lacks a clear, measurable definition and no direct evidence exists to support it, it cannot be assigned a defensible validity percentage.
