A recent survey by the Center for Public Opinion Research (CVVM) reveals that Czechs remain most satisfied with the availability of goods and services, culture, and transportation.
However, the survey also highlights a deep dissatisfaction with corruption, public finances, and the political climate in the country. These findings mirror those from a similar survey conducted at the beginning of last year.
Seventy percent of respondents expressed satisfaction with the variety of goods and services available, while more than 60% were pleased with the culture and transportation services in the Czech Republic. Satisfaction also exceeded dissatisfaction in areas like science and research, human rights, and healthcare, with 49-52% of citizens indicating positive views. Additionally, around two-fifths of the population rated the country’s international relations, standard of living, security, and environmental conditions favorably.
On the flip side, dissatisfaction was notably high in seven key areas. The most significant discontent was with the level of corruption in the country. “Only 7% of people were satisfied with the current situation, while 65% were dissatisfied,” the survey revealed. Similar dissatisfaction was expressed regarding public finances, economic crime, the political situation, immigration, and the general mood in society, with between 50-60% of respondents rating these aspects negatively. Additionally, 40% of citizens expressed dissatisfaction with the functioning of the economy.
The CVVM report noted that satisfaction levels vary significantly based on age, education, living standards, life satisfaction, and political preferences. Those with lower levels of education, older generations, and individuals with lower living standards were found to be the least satisfied.
