Hungary slipped down three places in the most comprehensive corruption ranking in the world, the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) prepared by Transparency International. The findings related to Hungary, presented by the Hungarian branch of Transparency International in Budapest, show that Hungary's performance within the European Union and also the narrower Central-Eastern European region declined.
"Very worrying is the marked deterioration in countries like Hungary, FYR
of Macedonia, Spain and Turkey. These are places where there was once
hope for positive change. Now we’re seeing corruption grow, while civil
society space and democracy shrinks," the report states.
