Constitutional Court trusted more than president and cabinet, suggests new poll

Czechs place the most trust in the country’s Constitutional Court, followed by President Václav Klaus and Prime Minister Jan Fischer’s caretaker cabinet, a poll conducted by the SANEP Agency and published on Thursday revealed. Two-fifths of respondents said they thought the court was the most trustworthy constitutional institution, with one-quarter saying they trusted President Vaclav Klaus the most and a further quarter placing their trust in Jan Fischer’s government. Only eight percent of Czechs said they believed in the Czech Parliament the most out of all constitutional institutions.
