No, local government is pretty corrupt too. The media spotlight shines more often on the national government. After all, it's smaller.

In Spain the biggest source of corruption are land reclassifications and infrastructure building contracts. Most of this is politically under local government, except for the big national infrastructure like high-speed rail.

interesting your comment started with a 'no', then repeated something i said!

idem with italy and the land reclassifications and infrastructure building contracts, not receiving media attention.

the corruption i was referring to is around military-industrial spending and secret service shenanigans, rendition policies etc.
