Half of Finns suspect corruption among national politicians, survey finds
Nearly one in two Finns believe that corruption is at least fairly common among national-level political decision-makers, according to a new public opinion survey released by the Municipal Development Foundation (KAKS).
The survey examined how citizens perceive corruption among politicians and public officials at both national and local levels. In the survey, corruption was defined broadly as the misuse of power for personal gain, in line with international definitions used by the United Nations Development Programme and Transparency International.
