Transparency International: Hungarians see graft worsening

Budapest, November 16 (MTI) – Hungarians regard graft as a problem that is worsening, József Péter Martin, Transparency International’s (TI) managing director for Hungary said on Wednesday. The majority thinks that the government’s measures against it are inadequate, he said.

Martin insisted that Hungarians feel impotent when it comes to fighting against corruption.

TI’s survey showed that 30 percent of Hungarians viewed their country’s politics as corrupt.

They identified corruption and immigration as two outstanding problems currently.

Everyday misconduct was seen as especially strong in the field of health care regarding gratuities.

Martin said ever fewer people were bothering to report corruption. Older people are quite passive while the younger generation was readier to fight against it, he said, adding that corruption strengthens passivity and distrust.
