Corruption is like cheating in a game. In Austria, some people who work for the government have not been playing fair. They take money or gifts from others, like companies, in exchange for giving them things they want, like contracts or permits. This is not allowed and it is very bad because it means that the people who are supposed to take care of the country are being selfish and not doing their job properly. It can also mean that those who do not have money or power will not be treated fairly. The government is working hard to stop corruption and punish those who are caught doing it. It is important to be honest and fair to make sure everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
