Abstract

The Czech Republic is considered by many authors to be one of the most Eurosceptic and most critically profiled countries in relation to the European Union (EU).1 Criticism in relation to the EU is present not only in the behaviour and attitude of some political parties as such, but it also comes from individuals acting on their own behalf. Additionally, this critical discourse is present in the public sphere throughout all of Czech society, not just in the political sphere.
