the yeah ive seen that happen
over things that should not have been in the first place
one big one in the 90s
But is it the norm in wester society? i would surely say no
not over investments, but over political corruption
I would say it is, because its inevitable when you are required to lobby the government to get anything done
I can not say the same about the situaiton in Sweden..
Perhaps i have assumed that the generall standards in the west were simmilar
Well im not gonna claim my country is the same as china that would be a bit too much
but were getting closer to what china does in regards to the EU
i agree on that
That aside, there is rampant corruption in my country
and everyone knows it
its not hidden
its done openly
Which county is this?
belgium
waow, i've heard and read exactly ZERO about this
Why would u, nobody gives a shit what happens in a tiny dot on the globe like belgium
in Sweden, only talk is about Hungary and Poland these days
this is nothing new, this has been going on for years
A small county it may be, but not much more than a small minotity with a strong will is requierd for great change.
It is very sadening when you must see your home turn to the worse
Corruption is often very hard to stop if it is not in it's early stages
I can give some very clear examples as well:
Certain Socialist party heads found to be seating at charity instances and stealing money from them
Completion of a road has to be done since 1975, still not even started to build
Whole shopping complex being put down someplace, turns out they didnt follow the proper procedure to find the best contractor
Well here the left has apointed sympathizing executives to the public branches for decades. Be it the legal way though, making it almost imposible to move the country in an other political direction
And if i got a bit further back, governments building useless structures that never been used after construction, just to spent their portion of the taxpayers money
regional governments that is
But i will still claim we both are very far from the Chinese when it comes to corruption in both finance and politics
Same with schools here, spending money on pointless things because otherwise they get less the year after
Ah.... Year budget fixing
School directors now being paid equally across the board regardless of the size of school
Well that's very commie of them
and i keep going for hours just on the top of my head
No private schools?
And if i actually look stuff up, i can find a whole bunch more
Not that i can think off
but i could be wrong, im not sure about that
but yeah were not china, yet
i believe you. But i am sure that if you look in to the chinese situation it is by far worse.
let's hope the EU elections stop turning red all the time. We need to return to the basis of simply having economic and toll contracts, not a damn federal state
