Government, Parliament and Mayors' Offices Seen as Most Corrupt Institutions in Romania | Study
Summary:
A recent study by Frappe Digital shows that the Government, Parliament, and Mayors' Offices are perceived as the most corrupt institutions in Romania.
92% of respondents consider the level of corruption in the Government to be "very high" or "rather high".
Parliament and Mayors' Offices are seen as equally corrupt, with 91% and 89% of respondents respectively believing the level of corruption to be "very high" or "rather high".
Other institutions with high perceived levels of corruption include customs (76%), the healthcare system and state-owned companies (both at 68%), and the judiciary (67%).
On the other hand, firefighters and small and medium-sized private Romanian companies are perceived to be much less corrupt.
Additional Details:
The study was conducted in May 2024 on a sample of 1,074 people aged 18-65 from urban areas.
The study results suggest a widespread public perception of corruption in Romania, particularly among government institutions.
The study does not provide concrete evidence of corruption, only the public's perception of the level of corruption within different institutions.
Opinions:
Daniel Enescu, co-founder of Daedalus New Media Research, stated that the study results are concerning and that urgent action is needed to combat corruption in Romania.
Some online commentators have criticized the study's methodology, arguing that the sample size is not large enough to be representative of Romania's entire population.
Others have argued that the study results reflect the reality in Romania and that a radical change in how public institutions are governed is necessary.
Conclusion:
The Frappe Digital study offers a glimpse into the public perception of corruption in Romania. The results suggest significant concern about the level of corruption within government institutions. However, it's important to consider the study's limitations and conduct further research to fully understand the extent of corruption in Romania.
