Moldova Corruption: A Survey Reveals a Shocking Truth

Moldova Corruption: Survey Reveals Deep-Rooted Problem A recent survey by the Center for Legal Resources in Moldova has revealed a shocking level of corruption within the country's key institutions. The survey, which included lawyers, prosecutors, and judges, found that a significant percentage of respondents acknowledged the widespread nature of the problem. Specifically, 72% of lawyers, 46% of prosecutors, and 37% of judges admitted to seeing corruption firsthand. This contrasts sharply with the small percentage (4% of judges and 1% of lawyers) who denied the existence of corruption. The survey highlights the extent of corruption's reach, implicating parliament and government structures. Concerns were also raised about the effectiveness of the National Anticorruption Center (NACC). Dimitri Kiselev, an advocate, commented, "The reform is proceeding better than many people think." Despite this optimistic view, the survey's findings paint a concerning picture of the systemic nature of corruption in Moldova. Moving forward, it is crucial to address the issues raised by the survey and to implement effective measures to combat corruption and strengthen institutions. The contrasting views of those who acknowledge the problem and those who deny it highlight the urgent need for transparency and accountability within the Moldovan government and legal system.
