Finance Minister and ANO leader Andrej Babiš remains the most trusted politician in the country, according to the outcome of a December poll conducted by the STEM agency. Mr. Babis received a 61 percent trust rating, just ahead of Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka and Defense Minister Martin Stropnický who both got 56 percent. Interior Minister Milan Chovanec placed 4th with 53 percent trust.
