The picture is quite controversial. According to Eurobarometer data, the population has trusts political parties, governments and in local governments  more than the EU average. Furthermore, levels of trust increased in all three dimensions between 2011 and 2013. Local governments enjoyed the trust of the majority of the population, i.e. 57 per cent in 2013. However the OECD says that only 40 percent of the population trusts political institutions, which is one of the lowest figures in the OECD area, where the average level of trust was 56 percent in 2012. According to results by the pollster TARKI, trust in institutions has in general increased in recent years. According to the OECD, Hungarians perceive severe corruption, and accordingly, haw limited trust in the government.
