As a result of the research?

Studies show that only one-third of Poles is interested in public life, while 20-25% not interested in him at all. According to the analysis of CBOS in direct contact with an official in a case involving the local community (in addition to settle their own affairs at the Office) in the course of the year has only 8% of poles. One of the main causes of low social participation is the lack of conviction of the possibility to influence reality. The Poles believe that they have no leverage on the fate of the country. Those who in the studies attest that such influence they have, they admit that it does not use.

"Often declare that we appreciate the local government. According to the CBOS, in the year 2017, 73 percent of the residents positively the activities of local authorities. We believe that our impact on local affairs is larger than in the case of the country.
