Will that change Denmark‘s position in the Corruption Perception Index?

I always thought the lower the more realistic

I d'ont. Im portuguese living in Denmark for many years. The difference is just perception.

The portuguese say: "this shitty country is so corrupt". I never encountered any corruption in Portugal.

The danes say: "See we are the best and justest country in the World without corruption". Facts say otherwise. Just google Lars Løkke Rasmussen and take a look at his actions

Italian living in sweden. It's 100% identical. They don't even bother to hide it, because there can't be corruption here by definition. So to us it's so obvious.

It became obvious to me in the banking crisis 2008 as everybody in Germany talked about corruption in Greece and ignored the German companies involved that bribed Greece politicians.

It doesn’t help either that the corruption perceptions index is often shortened in German to Korruptionsindex = corruption index which makes it sound objective instead instead of subjective
