No, it isn't. Sorry but this is exactly the kind of "there must be a hidden agenda to this" thinking which skews your reality. Our governments are simply highly incompetent and terribly mismanaged, but not in the hands of organised crime. You can still draw parallels between ANY government and mafia.

[grimskin]

Depends on the country, I guess. Come visit Ukraine - there is almost nothing hidden regarding those agendas here. One question, tho - if they are so incompetent and mismanaged, how come they're your government?

[kodfodrasz]

Ah, you are from Ukraine. This explains your bitterness. There are differences between Eastern-Europe and Eastern-Europe. Ukraine is in a whole different dimension regarding corruption, than Hungary.

[grimskin]

Yeah, you're right, as the guy from Ukraine I'm probably preconceived quite a bit. But as an IT guy, I still do not believe that everything is clear with those 4 years and 9 million euro.

> if they are so incompetent and mismanaged, how come they're your government?

Because we elected them based on their skills in lying rather than governance. And also because government jobs naturally attract and promote incompetence.

Hanlon's Razor - Don't attribute malice to what could just as easily be explained by incompetence.

Turns out there are just a lot of incompetent people.
