In the CPI Spain is not that far off from countries like France, Italy or the US and better than the global average.

I'm currently living in Mexico and here corruption is a much more serious issue.

I am talking about the current government corruption cases, I assume Mexico is worse, but Spain isn't great for Europe either

The made up cases are so many that they deflect each other and the few real ones. The real scandal is the state of our judicial power.

This is pretty common in any country going through a populist phase, they go against the judicial, as is happening in the US

I'll simplify it for you, populists from left and right (Trump and Sanchez) main trick is blaming the elites for preventing the will of the people.

This usually puts them in conflict with the judiciary, that and the fact populist government are usually incredibly corrupt (also due to contempt of existing standards)
