Just because political corruption happens in your own country, you
assume everybody else is equally corrupt.

Corruption is estimated to cost the European Union between EUR 179 billion
and EUR 990 billion per year, amounting to up to 6% of its GDP.

70% of Europeans believe that corruption is widespread in their countries
- an increase of 2 points compared to 2022 (2023 Corruption Eurobarometer
Survey).

35% of EU businesses consider corruption to be a problem in doing
business, (2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards
corruption).

59% of EU business agree with the statement that bribery and the use of
connections is often the easiest way to obtain certain public services,
(2023 Eurobarometer survey: Business’ attitudes towards corruption).

If it's a government, it's corrupt. Sadly sometimes a more corrupt
government functions better than a less corrupt government.
