The Hungarian government has devised a new anti-corruption program, which, as opposed to reducing corruption, in fact increases the government’s power. Compared with earlier plans, reforms concerning the financing of parties and the protection of whistleblowers have been excluded from the program, which also fails to deal with the asset declarations of MPs. The civil and the business sectors, in turn, are facing stricter regulations in the future.
