4.3.8. Assessment of the institutions’ performance
The performance of three institutions was evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with five being the
highest score): The Ministry of Interior (MUP), polling boards and prosecutors. Nearly half of
the respondents (47%) were satisfied with the work of the MUP (very good and excellent
scores), while 13% of the respondents expressed dissatisfaction by giving them ones or twos
for their work. Findings almost identical to those for trust were obtained in the case of polling
boards: satisfaction surpasses dissatisfaction by far since 57% of citizens said they were satisfied
with the work of polling boards versus 11% of citizens who were not. Finally, 32% of
respondents were satisfied with the prosecution's work, whereas one quarter of the
respondents were not. Unlike questions of trust in institutions, the performance assessment
included a relatively high percentage of people who did not know how or were unable to
assess their performance, especially in the case of prosecutors where nearly one in four
persons had no attitude or was unaware of their work.
