18:16
As few as 38 percent of respondents from Poland said they considered their country democratic, according to the 2020 Democracy Perception Index survey that collected responses from 124,000 respondents in 53 countries. As many as 59 percent of the surveyed Poles said there wasn’t enough democracy in their country – the highest in the “free” nations category.
“The countries that have the largest perceived democratic deficit, meaning governments that are least living up to the democratic expectations of their citizens are Venezuela, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine and Nigeria,” states the report.
Dalia Research state on their website that “the Democracy Perception Index (DPI) is the world’s largest annual study on democracy, conducted by Dalia Research in collaboration with the Alliance of Democracies and Rasmussen Global, to monitor attitudes towards democracy from around the world.”
