For people surprised by the UK, here is the 2018 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565639

It says that the recorder alcohol consumption by percentage was 35.7% wine and 35.0% beer, so a close one.

Tax The Rich (www.tax-the-rich.eu)

A big plea to you to support "Tax-the-Rich". The aim is to tax the super-rich in order to finance more climate protection. If this EU citizens' initiative reaches certain thresholds, it must be scrutinised. A powerful tool if it is used.

"An EU Citizens' Initiative does not have to reach the threshold in all countries, only in 7 out of 27"

The closest:

France 188%

🇩🇰 87%

🇩🇪 80%

Belgium 64%

🇮🇹 44%

Netherlands 32%

Slovenia 26%

Deadline 9.10.24

  • The Hungarian branch of anti-corruption organization Transparency International received a letter containing a total of 62 questions in their six-page official letter, giving them thirty days to respond.
  • The letter of notification were signed by Hungary’s new sovereignty protection office (SPO), a controversial body set up with broad powers which has been condemned by rights groups as a means to investigate against citizens and stifle dissent.
  • Transparency International Hungary says it believes that it is no accident that our organisation has been targeted by the SPO. As a non-governmental organization fighting corruption, the success of our investigative, analytical and legal work, and perhaps even our mere existence threatens the regime of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has been leading the most corrupt government in the European Union.
  • The Guardian reports that Átlátszó, one of the country’s best-known investigative outlets, received a similar notification that they were being investigated as organisations that, “using support from abroad, conduct activities aimed at influencing the will of the voters”.
