The Confidence in Government Index (ICG) prepared by UTDT showed 2.33 points in April, a drop of 3.7 percent compared to March and 4.8 percentage points compared to the same month in 2024, a downward trend that has been ongoing since December, the study indicates.

This decline is evident across all age groups, including young people between 18 and 29 years old, a segment that helped him win the presidency in November 2023.

The negative variation of the ICG compared to March was reflected in all five components: Ability to solve the country’s problems (-3.0%), Honesty of officials (-1.5%), Efficiency in the administration of public spending (-0.2%), General evaluation of the government (-4.9%), and Concern for the general interest (-9.7%).

By gender, the April ICG among men was 2.61 points, a decrease of 0.4 percent, higher than among women, which was 2.04; although this index showed a negative variation of 8.5 percent, the UTDT study reports.
