“The European people’s trust in their governments has considerably declined, a survey conducted in five leading European Union states shows.
In April, German institute Friedrich Ebert carried out a phone survey using a sample of more than 5,000 adults from Germany, Britain, Spain, France and Poland.
According to the poll, only 6 percent of people in these countries have a great deal of confidence in their governments, while 46 percent of the participants said they did not trust their statesmen very much.
A total of 3 percent had no trust in their governments at all.
Analysts believe that the main reason for people’s lack of trust in their governments is the states’ inability to resolve economic crises and the repetitive scandals of politicians in these countries.
Popular protests have broken out in Britain, Greece and Spain against their governments’ economic policies.
In Italy, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has had an extensive history of criminal allegations, including mafia involvement, corruption, and bribery of police officers, lawyers, and judges.
The Italians have so far staged several rallies against the beleaguered prime minister. ”
