Young Eastern European democracies may be at an increased risk for turmoil during a global recession primarily due to **government corruption**.
While factors such as anger against democracy, failure of the free market system, and lack of help from the E.U. can contribute to instability, government corruption can undermine trust in institutions, exacerbate economic difficulties, and lead to public discontent, thereby increasing the likelihood of social unrest and political turmoil in times of economic hardship.
That said, all the other options can play a role in the overall stability of democracies during a recession, but corruption is often a critical factor in the context of governance and citizen trust.
