Poles do not trust government websites
23:32
The credibility and reliability of the sources from which we obtain information are one of the key issues that every government should care about – including the Polish one. However, this issue should also interest the citizens themselves, who are buried in the so-called fake news with unreliable and unverified data.
Assuming that the first sources include government websites, it should be expected that they will be of great interest to people looking for basic information on the applicable law and the functioning of public life.
However, according to data provided by Eurostat, only 27 percent of Poles were looking for any information on government websites in 2019. This is by far one of the worst results in the entire European Union.
Only Bulgaria (19 percent), Italy (19 percent), and Romania (10 percent) came after Poland. In turn, the best results were obtained in Denmark (89 percent), Finland (85 percent), and the Netherlands (81 percent).
Of the countries that joined the EU in 2004 or later, Latvia (68 percent) and Estonia (67 percent) recorded the best results. The average result for the EU was 47 percent.
