I strongly protest the concept that the recent introduction of politics is making things worse than they used to be.

If you ask anyone who was senior working in these institutions in the 1970s, things were far more dodgy back then.

Corruption and bigotry were rampant. But it was far easier to cover up back in the day.

Politicization is mostly driven by transparency.

Politicization is not a new thing, it's a fact that there's a lot of extremely conservative individuals in each country. And technology has bought them closer to their institutions.

Society is being brought very closely together, and we're working through the teething issues.
