Not an EU directive. This was more a comment about various EU member states, which pushed it against the will of own citizens.

> Which decisions? GDPR? DMA?

Every directive. There was no single directive that had popular support from all member state populations. But the EU regime decides something and boxes it through the EU Commission and then uses the EuGH to force it upon all members.

Examples?

At least some EU regimes and people are against Russian sanctions and Ukraine support, they get bullied until they yield.

Illegal migration: there's no single EU country where the population supports it, yet they all got bullied to accept and support criminal migrants.

Electric cars, CO2, maybe not the majority but many country populations are against it, yet decisions get forced upon every single state.

Now, for every single topic you may say it's an exception, that it must have been like that, but in the end, if the wish of population is ignored on so many levels on so many topics, EU can be seen only as an illegitimate, corrupt regime trying to mess up everything. To the point, that even the Chinese regime feels less invasive, at least they care about the basic needs of the majority of their people.
