Only 17 percent of Czechs satisfied with Czech politics

Radio Prague International - Topic «Politics»

A Kantar agency survey for Czech Television found that only 17 percent of Czechs were satisfied with the state of Czech politics. Since the survey was published, austerity policies aimed at tackling the public deficit have added to the general dissatisfaction. Czechs are mainly dissatisfied with the government's handling of inflation, rising living costs, energy price regulations, and poor public communication. I asked Klára Votavová, research fellow of the Europeum Institute, why Czechs distrust the government and how Fiala’s government is addressing the issue in light of the upcoming parliamentary elections in 2025.
