Two in five Czechs expect Russian or EU interference in autumn elections

Two in five Czechs believe Russia will try to interfere in this autumn’s parliamentary elections, with a similar share expecting influence attempts from the European Union, according to a June survey by the Central European Digital Media Observatory (CEDMO). Nearly 30 percent fear US interference. Poles share similar views, while Slovaks expressed the greatest concern about the EU. Compared to last year, fears of Russian meddling in Poland have decreased. The Czech elections, which will decide the next government, are scheduled for early October. CEDMO surveyed 2,856 people in Czechia.
