CVVM: Czechs most concerned about Covid and public finances

The majority of Czechs say the main issues that the government should address at the present time are the state of public finances and the Covid pandemic, according to the results of a poll conducted by the CVVM agency in July. Migration and corruption which topped the list a few years ago are now seen as less pressing. Concern regarding the state of public finances, highlighted by 56 percent of respondents, stems from the growing gap in public finances due to the effects of the pandemic. The projected deficit for 2021 is 500 billion crowns.
