Corruption across the EU bloc is costing taxpayers billions, as member states fail to tackle the problem head on, according to the European Commission.

The Brussels executive on Monday (3 February) published its first ever bi-annual anti-corruption report on each of the 28 EU countries, citing public procurement and obscure political party financing as among the most pervasive problems. […]

Public procurement contracts, equivalent to one-fifth of the total EU economy, are said to be the worst affected with up to a quarter of their value lost to corrupt practices. …

This is the same EU Commission that won’t let any outsiders do an audit on the EU’s own institutions (itself included). Shifting the blame to “member states” shows it up for the kleptocracy it is.

Democracy breeds corruption.. because it is Mob Rule.. by mobsters..
ALL of them...

Socialism is a symptom of democracy...
Democracy is a lie.. NO democracy has ever been democratic.. NONE..
Democracy is a political disease....

The EU isn’t real democracy anyhow. The government in Brussels is set up like the USSR’s government.

I know what they like to say, but of course it’s the “people’s democracy” where they vote for the Party. Real democracy, like communism, is a mirage. Best to adhere to real republicanism.
