Regional self-government in the eyes of public

As for opinions concerning the benefit of introducing self-governing regions the Czech public remained significantly ambivalent. Approximately one quarter of the interviewees believe that the introduction of self-governing regions, which have now been existing for four years, was proved right. However, approximately the same part of the respondents holds the very opposite view. Another quarter stated that this issue cannot be judged after such a short time period.

The last quarter of the citizens did not know how to answer this question. Four of ten people do not know whether they are satisfied with the work of their regional government during its first term of office. Among those, who were able to give an answer to this question, satisfaction slightly outweighed discontent (31 % : 28 %).
