Confidence in EU, European Parliament, hits record low poll suggests

Trust in the European Union and the European Parliament by Czechs has dropped to a record low, according to a new poll released by the STEM agency. The survey suggests that just 29 percent of Czechs have confidence in the union and just 24 percent in the European Parliament; some 55 percent are favourable towards the United Nations and 52 percent towards NATO. STEM has gauged Czech ties to the European Union since 1994; then, the numbers were between 50 to 60 percent.
