Firefighters top-rated for flood response, government receives mixed reviews, survey shows

According to a survey by Median Agency for Czech Radio, firefighters received top marks for their work during the recent floods. The government, particularly Prime Minister Petr Fiala (Civic Democratic Party), was rated more critically. The survey, conducted on a sample of 1,000 respondents, rated various entities using the Czech school grading scale. Firefighters and healthcare workers received the most praise, with 80% awarding them the highest grade. Conversely, 28% of respondents gave Fiala the lowest rating, while the media scored an equivalent of B minus grade for their coverage. The survey also revealed that 56% of respondents believe the country is prepared for future weather extremes.
