A recent poll conducted by the Public Opinion Research Centre (CVVM) in Czechia indicates that French President Emmanuel Macron is the most trusted foreign politician, with 52% of Czechs expressing trust in him. In contrast, only 44% of respondents trust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with a significant 47% expressing distrust. The survey, which included 1,725 participants, shows a clear trend in the Czech public's perception of foreign leaders, highlighting Macron's unique status in the eyes of the Czech populace.

The survey also emphasizes the notable levels of distrust towards other political figures, especially Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, who are perceived negatively by the majority of Czechs. Macron stands out not only for his trust levels but also for the fact that the percentage of individuals who do not know or have not heard of him is relatively low compared to other leaders. This reflects a broader familiarity with leaders like Zelenskyy, Putin, and Trump, who are more widely recognized, yet they suffer from high levels of disapproval among the surveyed population.

The findings suggest that while there is a familiarity with major global figures, their influence on Czech sentiment varies significantly. The high rate of unknown figures among other politicians points to a potential gap in public awareness and engagement with international politics, indicating that many Czech citizens may not follow foreign affairs closely. The implications of these trust levels could impact diplomatic relations and public opinion as these leaders engage with Czechia on the international stage.
