Can you imagine having another €50 billion available each year for public and social services? It's an amount that exceeds the combined annual budget of the Generalitat (Catalan government), including the entire public sector, which manages more than €40 billion. And it's an astronomical amount, emerging from studies that attempt to quantify the cost of corruption cases such as that of Koldo García, former minister José Luis Ábalos, and the former number three of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Santos Cerdán. According to Transparency International, a non-governmental organization specializing in the subject, Spain last year scored 56 out of 100 on the corruption perception index, which analyzes 180 countries (0 being very clean and 100 being very corrupt), that is, close to the red light and far from the best-performing countries (88) or Singapore (84).
