Several questions will be raised: Can the Hungarian institutional system spot and prevent corruption? Have there been any observable changes in the operation and perception of public sector bodies since their integrity gained a pivotal role?

Currently there are more than a dozen court procedures pending against different central and local government bodies and their economic ventures.
