In a poll conducted in May this year, residents were asked to rate how likely, in their opinion, there is a possibility that Muslim terrorists could organize terrorist acts in Latvia as well. This year, the majority of respondents acknowledged that, in general, such a possibility is unlikely. 45% of respondents said that they thought such a possibility was rather unbelievable, while another 21% of respondents were convinced that such a scenario was completely unbelievable.

The opposite opinion was expressed by 27% of respondents in the survey, who consider the possibility to be reliable in general – 21% of the population think that it is rather reliable, and another 6% – that it is completely reliable.

This year, the fixed indicator is the lowest in the history of the survey, the proportion of the population who do not believe in the possibility of a terrorist attack organized by Muslim terrorists in Latvia, increasing for the fifth year in a row.

The proportion of the population believing in this scenario rose sharply in 2016, when a number of such terrorist attacks took place in Europe, but in the following years concerns about it among the population have diminished.
