Corruption and public finances seen as most urgent issues, survey finds

Corruption, the state of public finances and healthcare are seen as the most pressing problems facing Czechia, according to a survey by Centre for Public Opinion Research (CVVM). Fifty-seven percent of respondents rated corruption as a very urgent issue, followed by public finances at 55 percent and healthcare. Around two fifths also consider energy, the political situation, the economy, immigration and security to be highly urgent. By contrast, culture and the availability of goods and services were seen as least pressing. Opinions were sharply divided on unemployment, human rights and Czechia’s membership in the European Union.
