A disease called corruption
February 6, 2008Among the most important newspaper titles today is the statement made by the Italian National Auditing Authority (Corte dei Conti) which talks about Italy as a Country in which the public system is deeply affected by corruption.
As a matter of fact, this is a situation which every Italian citizen knows very well.
In Italy corruption takes several forms: bribing is just one kind.
As an example, every Italian knows well how hard is to win a public competition without having what is here called “raccomandazione” that means a politician acting to advantage you. This is probably the most widespread form of corruption in Italian society today: political parties have hands practically everywhere. A real occupation of society: there are few spaces and contexts in Italy in which politicians still don’t “have the last word”, this meaning for a common citizen to ask for their rights as if they were privileges.
Italian’s need Freedom <3
personaly i hate corruption in any ways =/
It’s the same case in India too. It’s widespread, everyone knows about it, but live with it. It’s really a pitiful state when it comes to corruption in India. That’s the reason why the country isn’t rising above the ’still developing’ level.
In Italy there is the CRONY CAPITALISM ( “capitalismo dei compari”).Don’t forget that in Basilicata we live still in a cultural ” Backward Society” and we believe in many kinds of “Saints”.
