I have lived in Prague in 2007 for six months. I have managed to learn a Czech language, and travel all around the country. Czechia was the first ever foreign country for me to visit and live in. I was 20 years old then. Despite being literally russian Ivan (born and raised in Tomsk, Siberia), I was so welcomed everywhere. Before going there some russians told me - "don't tell anyone you're russian, they gonna beat you up", and other bs like that. I am 37 now, and I've since lived in six other countries (five of which EU members) - I have never since experienced so much welcome, so much kindness, so much love from locals. Czechs are the sweetest, funniest and most open-hearted people ever. A do ted' miluju Cesko, miluji Cesi, porad mluvim cestinou, kdyz nekoho z Cech potkam. Cesy jsou vsude :D A jste vsechni roztomile lidy!

As the video said - 80% of our trade is with the EU, Babis is an agrobaron with ownership of a big chunk of our agriculture. He only acts as anti-EU on the home turf, while in reality, his people in the EU pairliment and on international stage, lean havily pro-EU, as it benefits him greatly.

Czechia was a province of larger empires for several centuries, so it is easy for populists there to exploit every move from the EU as another instance of "foreign bureaucrats are telling us what to do as in the old days." Czechia is too small to have a real impact on EU policy, so not many people consider that those decisions are also made by Czech bureaucrats and politicians in Brussels (and Prague). The second thing, which you mentioned in the video, is that salaries are seriously lacking in Czechia. Some years ago, it had the worst ratio in Europe of GDP/Capita vs salaries; meaning the work being done is fairly valuable, but the salaries don't show it. In most analysis, it was said that Czechs are just too shy or afraid of their employers and don't ask for more even if they could and should. That they are more engineers than salesmen and marketers. The low salaries, especially compared to the direct neighbours Austria and Germany, lead to massive frustration and bitterness. Well, at least the low salaries cause the lowest unemployment in the EU.. Also, if you talk about EU subsidies as A, you should say B as well; B being Western companies - not only from Western Europe - snatching up everything that wasn't nailed down (and most of what was nailed down, too) in the 90s for peanuts. I consider this a massive failure of the economic transition after Communist rule. A longer transition period and stricter conditions for foreign investors would have been better in the long run I think. This foreign ownership of the vast majority of the economy causes billions of Crowns/Euros to be sent abroad every year as "dividends". Money that is lacking here.

I'm Czech and I'm strongly pro-EU, but I think I understand the concerns some of my compatriots have. I would say that the general discontent is connected to historical trauma. Any time in the past when we trusted somebody, we were betrayed. This happened many times even before the 20th century, but we got a combo of the West not moving a single muscle to help us. You mentioned 1938, but deslite the guarantees that they will ensure suverenity of the remaining rump state, the west simply decided to not care at all when Germany occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939. Then there was the Communist coup in 1948 and protests and minor insurrections in 1953, the West didn't move a muscle. In 1968 we were occupied by our allies, yet another betrayal and the West still didn't do anything effective. After the Velvet Revolution, we got to join NATO only through riding the wave with Poland and I am certain that Czechia would not have succeeded on its own, the West was still sceptic. The thing is that we don't generally believe outside powers that they mean well and generally are scared of foreign influences, we got burnt one too many times already (which is why I think that support for Euro is this low). And now anecdotal evidence: When I was in the United Kingdom through Erasmus (pre Brexit), the host family tried to explain to me that they have warm water and plumbing and that I don't have to look for a well to get water. In Austria, the owner of a hostel I was staying in tried to speak with me in broken Russian because we "can't speak anything else than that Russian dialect of yours". One of my friends works in Belgium and she told me that the Belgians see us as basically Russians with some quirks and would rather let us be annexed by Russia than let Belgium get dragged into a conflict. Various other friends have similar stories to tell. I like the idea of the EU, but I feel that most of the Western populace still sees us as a buffer to be sacrificed so they are safe when push comes to shove. This sceptic view is then enforced by opportunist politicians which run on platforms of "we'll show those bureaucrats!" and "we will protect you from them", which creates a feedback loop. I'm sorry but even though I know that things change, we are still seen as a fringe of the EU by many. And unlike others, we don't have the need to entrust others unless we are certain they mean well. And given these experiences, I'm certain that we are far too removed from actually believing fully in this project. My generation may change this, but I don't see it happening in the next 10 years.

Sounds a bit like the UK, where a lot of Brits before Brexit, blamed the EU for a lot of the wrongs in the country, even though a lot of what is wrong in the country had little or nothing to do with the EU and much of the problems were created by national governments. In the case of the UK, they are learning that the hard way with Brexit and many are starting to realise that most of the problems in the UK had little to do with the EU and a lot more to do with national policy. It's understandable really, it's far easier to use an outsider as a scapegoat, but it's not very productive in getting real change done that can benefit the people, which if the EU and its members work together, we can achieve a lot more that will benefit the people across all EU members. I do also agree that big reforms of the EU are needed so it can function better for all it's members, that could mean some integration in some key areas so we're more effective in protecting our interest, especially being that a lot of our weakness we see in the EU is that many EU countries are pulling in multiple directions, which is weakening us all

As a Czech I can tell that we unfortunetly, don't have any strong proEU party which would be in a right spectrum, most party's sees EU just as milking cow, or the devil in our background like USSR once was. General population is still a bit bitter and sceptic towards the West, becouse of the past. We see mostly only nonsence from the EU, and not the good things, thanks too media and populists. And right now we are really frustrated, because we are slowing down, compared towards our neighbors. Poles are the most comparable country towards us, and they are getting really ahead of us in many aspects, which never happend. This slowing is thanks to high bureucracy, which cames especialy from our pasts goverments and also from the EU parlament and current crisis from the last 4 years, Covid and Ukraine, had huge impact on our economy and we still didn't manage to recover. Our paychecks are relativly "low" (for central Europe), our basic needs are one of the highest in EU, and thanks to this people are looking for miracle in form of populits, which will make thinks only worser. These populist are making our political discusion toxic as much as they can do, other partys don't calm down the situation, and mostly throw oil into the fire. People are starting hate each other for their political believes, just becouse of this toxicity. I hope it will get better, but for that, we would need some strong party, with strong leaders, but we don't have that here. Some party/movement which would educate general population better about EU, so people would stop thinking backwards about EU, or EU would finally start to do some big changes for better than adding more regulations, that will definetly make people look on EU in better light. But that's the politics, all an all life here is nice, but it could be definitely much better. So come and visit us, and not just the Prague, but even rest of the country 😁🇨🇿 And thanks for the video ❤

As a czech, good job! But I would add one more thing - A lot of people are also sceptical about europe, because of the migrant crisis (not ukrainians). A lot of people were scared that the EU will just command us into taking a lot of refuges, but none really wants them here. We can see now, that we dont want to follow western europe in this. Also my mom always says, that bcs of EU the food quality went downhill. In the past products tasted better, and everything was more local. Idk how true is this, but I know we czechs and other eastern countries are getting products with the "second quality", from the worse ingredients than in the west. So many YTbers made a comparison and the results are horrible. Cocacola, sprite, heinz ketchup and much more are different in czechia and germany. But those prices are almost the same. we hate this so much.

To clarify - Czechs have a bad experiences with minorities. The only well integrated minority were Jews. Czech germans betrayed us to third reich and were expelled back there after WWII. Communists tried to integrate roaming Gypsies by settling them down, of course without any success, so the current view (prejudices, though often true) on Gypsies/Roma is that of troublemakers, social welfare ticks and often outright criminals. Then came mrs Merkel and invited immigrants in. Those same migrants that has not integrated in France and Germany since general DeGaulle times. Young Muslim men, that come for rich social welfare systems of Germany and Sweden, but don't care about doing any actual work, or follow culture and laws of their new country. People are not stupid, they see Islamic barbarism on their daily news and have imagination. So this is the reason for anti-immigration mood. Ukrainians were another matter entirely - they worked in low-paid positions in Czech republic ever since 90', are christians, share many common values with Czechs, so generally are well tolerated. The movement against them is mostly on financial side - the Czech state is running in long-term deficit numbers and some saw subventions for Ukrainian refugees as unfair. Sadly the second rate food and other product quality is true. And it was really really hard to even bring that theme up in EU commission. Result was totally lackluster and toothless - nothing has changed.

@@nifrain9494 As a former international truck driver who has traversed almost all of Europe except Spain and the Nordic countries, I have a pretty clear idea of how much people earn in a given country and what the prices and quality of groceries are like west of the Czech Republic. Living in Germany (20 km from the Czech border and about 15 km from Poland), I am confronted with price differences of groceries within the EU, which concern me. For example, soft cheese ripening in Germany costs 1.2 EUR for 150 g, while the "same" cheese with lower quality and smaller quantity, probably made from Czech milk, costs 2-3 EUR. This brings me to another aspect, which is the quality of food. Before the Czech Republic joined the EU, we had some of the strictest food regulations, which could have had their advantages. However, many of these rules now seem to be neglected in favor of detailed regulations, such as the shape of bananas or the length of cucumbers, which does not take into account the actual quality and price of food. Furthermore, we were forced to change some norms and regulations under the threat of sanctions. This situation created additional challenges and concerns regarding the sovereignty of decision-making within the EU. Another concern is the EU's approach to migration and refugees. Some policies, such as quotas for redistributing refugees, are seen as imposing the opinions of some countries on others. This can create tension and resistance. Additionally, the decision-making process in the Czech Republic regarding the adoption of the euro as its currency is underway. This could result in another significant price increase following the inflation of the past two years, similar to what happened in Slovakia. However, wages would remain relatively stagnant. For instance, a factory worker in the Czech Republic might earn around 787.71 EUR per month, while the average net wage for a similar position in Germany ranges from 1500-1600 euros per month. This would not only lead to a rise in prices but would also put us at a disadvantage. The only beneficiaries of such a scenario would be multinational organizations and companies, such as Kaufland, Penny, VW, and others. Moreover, the intensified border controls with Germany, where police actively inspect every vehicle without a German license plate, raise questions. Such rigorous control appears to contradict the principles of the Schengen Agreement, especially considering the free movement of people within the EU. It is essential for the Czech Republic to carefully consider the implications of adopting the euro and to ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of its citizens. While I am not opposed to free travel and economic cooperation, once it begins to encroach upon a country's culture, sentiments, and traditional values, I regard it as dictatorial. Czech history has seen instances of dictatorship during the times of Austria-Hungary, World War II, and later under Communist rule. People now fear what they see because they are familiar with these situations, expecting further dictates from Brussels.

@@red_baron_cz886 I can't overstate just how well this comment sums up the entire notion. I would like to add that most of the poorer regions, like Ústecký or Karlovarský, are more often than not ignored on almost every level both from our government and the EU itself in favor of Prague or, sometimes, Brno. You can see this the most with the latest reforms regarding schools, where it makes sense in Prague to a large degree, but completely undermines said regions. The entire sentiment regarding the EU is further worsened by acts like this that have continued ever since the 2012 market crash. I still remember how due to EU regulations, we had to "throw out" local butter and milk due to producing too much and overshotting quotas, to which people then either sold to outside the republic or it landed on the nearest compost. By pure coincidence, later in the same month, the EU regulations were amended to include forceful buying of non-czech goods from other EU countries. Whilst it makes sense on paper due to efforts of uniting the economy, it has done naught but further sour the already poor relationship.

I doubt they'll want the old days back, it's easy to remember the good old days as being grand, but the reality is, the world is changing with big powers like the US and China, if we went back to the good old days of independence, it would weaken our voice a lot, with that, it will weaken our political and economic power, it will also likely harm our social interest, being that bigger players on the world stage will dictate the rules, pushing us to change in ways that many Europeans won't want, the US is a prime example of that, which wants Europeans to lower their standards on food standards and many other things, without the EU being able to stand up to them, the likes of the US might get their way. Because of that, when it comes to the political crunch, I highly doubt any of them would want to weaken the EU as that would weaken us all in the EU, but we also have to face reality that the world is changing with big powers like the US and China, as well as other big blocs forming, we have to change with that if we want to protect our interest, otherwise we will get pushed aside, because of that, I think more integration is likely to happen, but I think the EU should do it on the basis of letting the countries join in their own time, like they did with the Euro and Schengen treaty, over the long run, most EU countries are likely going to join anyway, but it's better to start with a small group of countries to get the ball rolling, this is something I think should happen on an EU military and forign policy, as a few countries make it work, others will likely want to join over time.

The reality, of course, is that the world has changed. France and Britain can’t compete with the likes of China, India, or the U.S.A. any longer. Nostalgia seldom takes such changes into account, though.

Czech here, the video is pretty accurate. There's a decent amount of euroscepticism. Like some people have already mentioned, we have had a lot of bad experience with foreign powers ruling our lands. And sadly a lot if Czechs view the EU as another "foreign overlord" that makes up rules we have to follow and have no control over. People don't understand how the EU works or what it really is and the advantages we have gained from our membership. People love to complain but are unwilling to learn or try to make a change. The turnout in the last EU elections was ~29% and that was the highest ever lol. This mindset is then exploited by populist politicians who complain about the policies of the "bureaucrats in the EU", while often their own EU MPs voted for these policies. At least there isn't a realistic push for a Czexit (Czech-out?), we just love to complain.

Your notes are absolutely correct. We, here in the Czech Republic, are absolutely livid at how every form of government we've elected so far has completely been ignoring us, and making life more difficult with each year. Prices go up for everything, yet our wages remain the same. You become a senior later than you used to. As you've mentioned in the video, as much as we support Ukrainians, the government gives them way more than they give our people in need- They receive more money than our seniors, our struggling parents and some of our disabled! Something truly needs to change, because our universally corrupt politicians seem to care more about their own wages (as shown by them being able to increase their own salaries), than ours.

The biggest reason people do not like EU here is that they do not trust any type of government since Austrian-Hungarian Empire, they also feel like the EU demanded things which should be up to national states. The problem is also language, since most of the older people do not speak English, and it is hard to understand EU politics when you are limited to Czech language. Just one correction, Hitler took the rest of our country BEFORE the WWII.

Munich agreement had been another blow, which in fact lead to aforementioned communist government. But it is time to look forward. We need to invest in education to keep our democracy and make it as hard as possible for populists, we also have to fight against corruption. Last but not least, we need infrastructure investments.If we manage to do that our economy will easily catch up with the European average, but I hope we will aim higher.

As a former international truck driver who has traversed almost all of Europe except Spain and the Nordic countries, I have a pretty clear idea of how much people earn in a given country and what the prices and quality of groceries are like west and east of the Czech Republic.I Living in Germany (20 km from the Czech border and about 15 km from Poland), I am confronted with price differences of groceries within the EU, which concern me. For example, soft cheese ripening in Germany costs 1.2 EUR for 150 g, while the "same" cheese with lower quality and smaller quantity, probably made from Czech milk, costs 2-3 EUR. This brings me to another aspect, which is the quality of food. Before the Czech Republic joined the EU, we had some of the strictest food regulations, which could have had their advantages. However, many of these rules now seem to be neglected in favor of detailed regulations, such as the shape of bananas or the length of cucumbers, which does not take into account the actual quality and price of food. Furthermore, we were forced to change some norms and regulations under the threat of sanctions. This situation created additional challenges and concerns regarding the sovereignty of decision-making within the EU. Another concern is the EU's approach to migration and refugees. Some policies, such as quotas for redistributing refugees, are seen as imposing the opinions of some countries on others. This can create tension and resistance. Additionally, the decision-making process in the Czech Republic regarding the adoption of the euro as its currency is underway. This could result in another significant price increase following the inflation of the past two years, similar to what happened in Slovakia. However, wages would remain relatively stagnant. For instance, a factory worker in the Czech Republic might earn around 20000 Czk (788 EUR) per month 5EUR per hour , while the average net wage for a similar position in Germany ranges from 2126 per month (13,5eur/H) and interestingly, in Belgium they get more than 30 euros per hour for the same work. This would not only lead to a rise in prices but would also put us at a disadvantage. The only beneficiaries of such a scenario would be multinational organizations and companies, such as Kaufland, Penny, VW, and others. Moreover, the intensified border controls with Germany, where police actively inspect every vehicle without a German license plate, raise questions. Such rigorous control appears to contradict the principles of the Schengen Agreement, especially considering the free movement of people within the EU. It is essential for the Czech Republic to carefully consider the implications of adopting the euro and to ensure that decisions are made in the best interest of its citizens. While I am not opposed to free travel and economic cooperation, once it begins to encroach upon a country's culture, sentiments, and traditional values, I regard it as dictatorial. Czech history has seen instances of dictatorship during the times of Austria-Hungary, World War II, and later under Communist rule. People now fear what they see because they are familiar with these situations, expecting further dictates from Brussels.

@MrToradragon 3 ай бұрын

On the other hand adoption of the Euro would make the price difference much more visible and argument that it is due to exchange rates and so would disappear. while now the exchange rate could vary by 2-3 crowns per euro within a year, with Euro the difference in exchange rate would completely disappear and thus the price, in theory could go down by some 10-20 %.

@@red_baron_cz886"Simple" update of some IT system should not be taken into consideration in this regard, while it indeed would cost some money, it quite possibly would be compensated by savings on FX rate. But then, bear in mind that it is already possible to bill in Euro and that it should not take long before companies will be able to pay their taxes in Euro as well. How long will it take before it propagate through the whole industry? We might be only years away from de-facto transition to Euro as corporations will most likely try to simplify their systems and would push their suppliers into acceptance of payments in Euro, and in turn those might be again pushing their suppliers (and other customers, maybe) to this transition. Then, in worst case scenario, we would have economy with most of the transactions done in Euro and some people being paid in Euro, some in CZK with the conversions being done at the wors possible place, at micro businesses and by individuals. During the transition, the FX rate would be fixed for some period and on the eve of transition, everything that costs 100CZK would cost 4€ (FX rate 25CZK/1€), would you mind elaborate more why should, all of sudden, businesses have any reason to make things more expensive? There is no inherent or logical reason to do so. Well one exists, the fact that employees would demand higher wages as they would see that they are paid less than people doing the same job on the other side fo the border and they would not need to do some conversion math to see it. Especially if the consumer prices would be more or less the same, or rents, or prices of properties, or whatever other item we would be comparing. If that would be the case, and would it be the case even after we would not need to worry about FX rate, it would mean that the businesses were only competitive due to underpaying their workers or contractors and I do not thing that it is something that we should support. Maybe it seems like great economic strategy to be able to produce cheaply, but in the long run it can have, and already has, detrimental effects on society. As well bear in mind that change of FX rate by 1 CZK, or by roughly 4%, is equivalent to loss of some 150 billion CZK from savings and as well it can mean loss of 1-2 years of pay rises in span of days. That again has negative impact on society and it's stability. In the long run. There is one significant problem with the CZK, it seems like it reacts more strongly to actions taken by ECB and FED, than by ČNB, now the question is whether, under those circumstances, it even makes sense to have independent currency with floating FX rate.
