Forms of political corruption vary, but include bribery, nepotism, clientelism, influence peddling, embezzlement, preferential treatment, and others.

Grand corruption is corruption at the high level of government, which requires significant subversion of political, legal and economic systems

Bribes are a material benefit (money, gifts, discounts, facilities) offered to an official in order to create an undue advantage to another person. The purpose of the bribe may be to speed up a procedure, obtain privileged information, privilege access to a service, or prevent the consequences of a violation (fine, withdrawal of authorization). In particularly corrupt states, bribes are offered to the clerk for the mere fact that he is conscientiously fulfilling his duties. Officials call this "a thank you gift".

Abuse in service is the corrupt use of the official position. This implies that the official has the necessary skills to make a decision, but violates the rules of conduct: either fails to fulfill his obligations or exceeds his or her powers.

Influence peddling is a form of bribe, where the applicant is not necessarily an official. What matters is the social or professional position: although the bribe cannot make the decision, he can influence the decision-maker.

Nepotism, or, in general, favoritism, occurs when the relationship of family / friendship is an argument in favor of someone in the process of hiring, promoting, or evaluating performance. When someone gets a job not because of their skills, but because of their relatives, friends or party colleagues, then corruption takes the form of nepotism.

Queues, bureaucracy, lack of access to information, ambiguous legislative provisions, or the wastage of public money are not punishable under the law, but are situations that lead to corruption. To avoid a long waiting time, or collecting unnecessary documents, or certain costly procedures can result in bribery, favoritism, abuse of service, influence traffic and others.

Corruption affects every citizen and family in particular, especially those socially vulnerable. Corruption has destroyed many families. About one million people left the country looking for a better life. Because of corruption, our citizens cannot open businesses or have a career based on merit and work. Corruption deprives us of a fair justice and a dignified life, keeping most of our people in poverty, vulnerable and insecure in their own power and future. Because of corruption, we do not have quality public services: education, medicine, roads and others.
