@financialtimes.com’s Europe Express Weekend cites #BridgeGap data: 🇷🇴 Romania has lost more to corruption in the last decade than any other EU country. As PI Alina Mungiu-Pippidi notes, corruption erodes trust and fuels #populism across #Europe.

#AntiCorruption
Welcome back. In this long hot European summer the pace of news has not had its traditional holiday lull. For that we have to thank Donald Trump and his penchant for late-night policy shifts. This week, however, I want to take you away from the frontline of the tariff wars to Romania, a country with a number of salient lessons for Europe today on leadership and populism. It is also a place close to my heart; I started out as a journalist there in the aftermath of the 1989 Christmas revolution.

A new BridgeGap data story by Massimo Privitera (University of Antwerp) explores why systemic change has proven so elusive.
