Bulgarians do not trust NGOs

Photo: Archive

Only one in 7 Bulgarians trusts NGOs operating in the country. Almost half of the respondents in a survey, or 46%, do not trust NGOs and 38% have no opinion on the issue. The overall assessment puts the NGO sector after the Prosecutor General and the court in terms of approval, but before the political parties.

For no other institution in the survey of Alpha Research conducted in October 2021, such a high number of refusals to voice an opinion was registered.
51% of the respondents cite the lack of information about the activities of the non-governmental sector as the leading reason for mistrust. One third of respondents point out the financing of non-governmental organizations from abroad.
