For many years there has been a persistent feeling that we cannot influence the situation in Poland. Although opinions on the subject have significantly improved, the influence rate still continues to be low. One fourth of interviewees (24%) formulate an opinion about a possibility to influence authorities. The result is relevantly worse (9 percent points) than in a survey conducted shortly before last year’s local elections and, at the same time, close to the one we noted in March 2014.

More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: “25 Years of Civil State. Opinions about Local Governance”
