Poll: Nearly half of Czechs say Filip Turek should quit politics

Almost half of Czechs believe Filip Turek, honorary president of the Motorists’ party and newly elected MP, should quit politics, according to a survey by NMS conducted in the wake of revelations that Turek had posted racist, sexist, and homophobic statements on social media for years. Two-thirds of respondents said that appointing Turek foreign minister, a post to which aspires in the new government, would irreparably damage the Czech Republic’s good name abroad.
