Rudolf Fußi: “It is the most comprehensive package in the history of the Second Republic, which I put together with the involvement of the country’s leading anti-corruption experts. We will eliminate the privileges of the political class, as well as the unequal treatment in the judiciary and the job haggling in public administration and state-owned companies. A separate ministry to combat corruption, including a state secretariat for transparency and freedom of information, will put us at the top of Europe. The times of self-service at the expense of taxpayers will come to an end.”

**Interview with Rudolf Fußi on His Anti-Corruption Measures**
**Editor**: Thank you for joining us today, Rudolf. You’re set to present a comprehensive package of measures to combat corruption on November 13th. Can you describe what you believe makes this package the most comprehensive in the history of the Second Republic?
**Rudolf Fußi**: Thank you for having me. This package is rooted in extensive collaboration with leading anti-corruption experts. It addresses systemic issues such as the privileges enjoyed by the political class, unequal treatment in the judiciary, and the rampant job haggling in public administration. Our proposal includes establishing a separate ministry dedicated to combating corruption, along with a secretariat that will focus on transparency and freedom of information. This is crucial if we want to uphold democratic integrity and restore public trust.
**Editor**: You mentioned the end of “self-service at the expense of taxpayers.” How do you plan to ensure that these measures are effectively implemented, and what safeguards will be in place to maintain accountability?
**Rudolf Fußi**: Implementation is key, and that’s why we’re committed to regular reviews and public reporting. We’ll involve civil society organizations and the media to monitor progress. By fostering a culture of transparency, we can hold officials accountable and ensure that the public remains informed about how tax money is being used.
**Editor**: In light of your proposals, how do you think the public and political class will react to the significant changes you envision?
**Rudolf Fußi**: Change is always met with resistance, particularly from those who benefit from the status quo. However, I believe that the public will support our efforts. Citizens are tired of corruption and want accountability. This isn’t just about dismantling privilege; it’s also about creating a stronger, more equitable society.
**Editor**: Lastly, Rudolf, how do you envision engaging the public in this dialogue? What would you like to see from citizens as you roll out these measures?
**Rudolf Fußi**: I encourage citizens to voice their opinions and participate in the conversation around these measures. Their feedback is invaluable in shaping legislation that truly reflects the needs of the community. We want to create a participatory democracy where every citizen feels empowered to be part of the solution.
**Editor**: Thank you, Rudolf. As we prepare for your presentation, readers, how do you feel about these proposed measures? Will they truly bring about the change we need in combating corruption, or is this just another political promise? Share your thoughts and join the debate.
