NÉZŐPONT: MAJORITY OF HUNGARIANS CONSIDER EU LEADERS CORRUPT - SURVEY

 

Fully 54% of respondents in a recent Nézőpont survey considered the leaders of the European Union corrupt, while 28% held the opposite view. Fully 70% of supporters of the ruling parties had a negative opinion of the EU’s leadership in view of the recent corruption scandal, while only 14% did not regard it as corrupt on balance, Nézőpont said on Friday. On the other hand, 52% of opposition respondents said they did not believe that European leaders could be corrupt, while 31% of respondents in that group thought “charges of corruption were justified”. Nézőpont’s phone survey of 1,000 voting-age adults was carried out from Jan. 9 to 11.
