once the most corrupt country in the european union the romanian society is engaged in an unprecedented fight against corruption. on the thirty first of january twenty seventh in the biggest protests since the fall of romania as communist dictatorship broke out in the streets of cook arrest. the newly sworn in government had secretly passed to be creek that would grant its members' immunity from prosecution on some corruption charges. hundreds of officials including businessmen mayors government ministers and members of parliament have been charged and convicted at the center of it all there's an independent judicial body the national anti-corruption directorate for d.n.a. in early twenty sixteen the d.n.a. steve prosecutor announced the sharp spike in corruption charges was the mission as well that got the base on me i thought that using pot and the court of law on

a bill and not she made. oh. they changed my words meaning parliament thought they could. be nice. shots but i thought she said not all. independent collectives like the funky citizens have also joined the fight against corruption they are adopting the quirky beat approach. to. the.

thirty years of dictatorship has given rise to a healthy sense of humor in romania. in this spirit the two are focused on high level corruption has been created in bucharest. meter and direct. i mean of course. much shorter but so. far one of them you.

know my post office. minister of agriculture in two thousand and seven sentenced to three years in prison for accepting bribes in cash and sausages bin laden and jelly beans might but in the same time thank you so much. and. no. one to. really force. who. supports the. mayor of bucharest from two thousand and eight to twenty fifteen charged with taking bribes. but in general are done for the public about the

mother. and the out of. the. republican the great mayor of two crist sector three those fifty one million euros in back taxes. money and mayor of the christian. sector five from two thousand to twenty sixteen charged with taking ninety million euro bright. meat but sheesh. it's all describe the same pervasive reality in romania gripes. the times are changing local governments schools police stations and hospitals have a long history of taking bribes in exchange for service. i

i i. wasn't there. i was going to expire bush i try to go somewhere what do you look at my list of what are. in romania corruption extends well beyond the envelopes that civil servants receive to supplement their incomes at the highest levels bribes are replaced by briefcases and the misuse of taxpayers' money becomes more creative and the liberals tend to have a demo on when the artist pull the dent. she can what does that. sound got us thinking because each year kurdish follow says. until back to the living.

they example. when i got a. minister by the. but. what to me my each. other parliament in my age despair contacted me to ask what about their preference now and. then they are forced quite the. to. with. that part of. him or what i said. in two thousand and two the national anti-corruption directorate or d n a was created as an independent judicial body to enact reforms required for romania's entry into the european union in a few short years the growing number of corruption revelations in romania have

implicated politicians from every party. thousands of scandals and shameless dealings have been brought to light. the d.n.a.'s chief prosecutor is low with. her unrelenting determination has made her the central figure in the fight to eradicate corruption. awful start. up and then. not too long to condition up and then. there's no minister mr porter's own premier . and. investing here's. something. on your photo here she got a credit for the morton church of far. not just her for most. of the current thought shall call or exist with

a lot of. change to just a. little rough water. a few floors up but the d.n.a. a special investigations team is helping to solve some of the d.n.a. is biggest cases. and that's the way it is almost. here. it was a few more dishing about you might feel upset about that. but that. prosecutor. and police investigator nicole asia earned their stripes in the fight against organized crime both highly skilled investigators they've unearthed evidence leading to the prosecution of romanian political elites

. wife that's another. woman intelligent we just shot we too far to go. over them. but we want to go to it. was an. infection a diversion if you scarred. me cut what the little commenter fights if you cut. off was the most read. dark and what live action they've. put up with i she she and the other tell in the very. question. up with each other more. of a wolf human history in about the story of the cheapest. the issue demurely i walk around to look but question high should put a step behind binding so full seats. c.l.r.

said elizabeth that's gotta be like the rest of. the so called it show of it looked at it on that subject. couldn't buy us downside last stop the good old war party negotiators to sort of think you've all made it all quite that simple task of stuckey be able to load it up with just a lot of fun and a. couple it. was plus the use of that show you have already delayed without the other thought about go up the larger bear market the progress up into a person. without the sprouted one. or their corvette or their. something and we can measure the scheme of the post on how bottoms of course have been quite n.j. just to show a small warm well. done class i mean under some of us i must know the mysterious be

example to give a kind of it's new to different year. and you multi-boot are chilly you are going. right to remove the. united opposition noise in the bogs issue nor can the fox to. be in their party doing so would the party that had the power would see it. but also count them all as. my means thought your. year she also flocka. as an independent journalist bugel has investigated corrupt officials and closely followed some of romania's most notorious corruption cases. but you would believe that. they did we don't know. if you believe that it was really she that was part of the ruling but you were predicting. we're going to be able to. get in but if you want to see who simply got

up at the start. of the month. my good day to. you. i was on a lot of. family pull a school for a check of the old guard and president of the now defunct conservative party was convicted in twenty fourteen for buying property at sixty times less than its actual value. but the main. theme of the comment to. me before and i. think. you know many. of these. awful stops.

fault but. changing thing then. the model. shifts. as with other eastern bloc regimes the fall of the dictatorship provided an opportunity for party stalwarts to prosper. government funds where miss approach. he did and many from the old guard filled their pockets the dictatorship had given way to new levels of corruption. but of all nazi or model that you had extended would probably at the top only class top level science that on line. she. done for the other lord knows it that out testart only got a society on there's that are partially at outclassing existent for them spawn other fuckin ways is that the winter politico dela when i type this exist acquired

of what i thought was the simple technique of well just to take us out here couple of the lesser turns what is that look at us all scheme up the momentum cut out all money and to put. on your noddle panna then try that out or shut down to not abandon pinkel me so open a false and muscular supporter could have i see it on when you my less untouchable investors an additional state issued. when you come up of a was appointed to minister of justice from two thousand and four to two thousand and seven with the support of the european commission she prepared the way for romain years anti corruption prosecutors many portland calendar that have to do it in short time i mean have a glancing and but two thousand four. so you had very few time to do it and the governor was important for me it was a support to me for me to change. into short years minister michael bay's

doggedness in the face of intense opposition allowed her to launch a process of judicial reform. then a relatively unknown entity that d.n.a. came to prominence as michael v. pushed for its right to prosecute white collar crime. but d.n.a. is first cases went relatively unnoticed by the press. but the ninety. four year she thought i'll have a lawyer. on one of the one main. yes don't quit as up until about a new study out on when you get those in parliament that government will be mother than he stood out on when he. informed here at this question is that was he should that senate. or even a prime minister indicted in two thousand and five i began as a descendant from the communist dictatorship have become one of the most powerful

men in romania just because you did it is just. charged with embezzling one and a half million euros for his electoral campaign and taking a six hundred thirty thousand year old right in a company telling the press about a woman that analysis and all facts are that i only said. but she seemed almost her step towel. i think all normal. so to me when i last i recall norm. that. sixty to. offical don't look. it. oh yes they were. just. sick of it. just. because if you go back

there is a few years after these comments in twenty twelve the prime minister was sentenced to four years in prison for passive corruption and blackmail again the stuff his conviction that was a lightning bolt for society since then the corruption investigations have accelerated and the d.n.a. has achieved celebrity status in romania. it didn't take long for the media to catch on and to begin reporting on an unrelenting stream of revelations each day this is the scene outside the offices of the d.n.a. certain not to leave empty handed the media gathered to catch the drama in real time it's the most closely watched media event in the country. photographer is creating the unique series of documentary portraits that captured the expressions of in battle to meet what. i perceived that it should be more that i want. to do with the life.

i'm. just making about why do i check check check you. know i don't know i'm. in april twenty sixth seen a journalist exposed to hicks a former scandal the case cause public outrage forcing the minister of health to resign i think you. see far more you know what kind of cycles out the baby was. different than the new term memory. which is that. you put us. at the. show explode. it's more every day and the moment recorded so this could be that he walked at least once or the wind if. they were going to write it was as if their lives are in for a life but imagine that. if. she can interrupt you i don't know what's up for the

world but actually looking into this if you're going to kind of get busy with the government i'm wondering real quick so that i will show you still a bit fucked judge just a couple options that the clutches of the bus stop for just enough honestly if you want to injure yourself being the one with that but just the one doctor says the she needs the person the worst will be you know what you begin to count. on. them i think this idea might not have been out without the bottle in the box that is what we need to get in the door she don't know you you mind you know coupled with my will to get to the part of the logic of loss or a loss that is. all i. think. a little. shocking but then tional me to feel many child arthel broken already more seem to be its own from the proclivity thing mr young.

levels. independent media groups like the rise project are playing an important role in exposing corrupt practices. rise is an information site that provides a platform for journalists activists and investigative hackers and. here activist journalists can sometimes uncover in a day what prosecutors would require years to obtain. is co-founder of the rights project and. he's taken part in many international investigations and was a key player in helping analyze the panama paper's leak. or shooting listing artists from actually investing i felt any particular scene with that as i used to look i know when i go to tell us a part of this was not. their money value. with them but each.

one in the lobby and. cheaper than paying him off for me when i woke. up as confidant of a gun seller said. you know what i mean i think that it wasn't only had been. seen for months or. so it. is political as this bubble but as in the old buzzer that they were going to put up a lot in the lives of those men looking for the mighty this will gain by nearly start the noble soul of the thought that only that was for this was a day for months you know that would mean that is are going to go then that it has become bonnie good if i can watch a little money for that english. conquer. follow the money for that technology for us in like us investing. last. week. in recent years romanian society has begun to feel the impact of

a growing wave of corruption convictions. emboldened by judicial reform people are increasingly demanding that the law apply equally to all i think was the ongoing judicial battle has energized protesters in the twenty fifteen tens of thousands flooded the streets of bucharest to protest the deadly fire at the collective nightclub despite unsafe conditions the club obtained its operating license in exchange for a bride. sixty four people mostly teenagers died in the blaze. protest persis prime minister viktor was forced to resign. mass protests are a growing trend in romania where forty years of state rule all but destroyed citizen action thirty years earlier and big gatherings in romania looked like this

shows of mass solidarity orchestrated by the state called for justice gave way to resignation poverty and despair in recent years the pioneers of progressive change have claimed their place in society. is a historian and specialist in communist crimes he's also a famous activist in bucharest fellow given to. him because it was pretty much one moment. we should just give you what we've got because. it's one of our products you should know what is your but let's. get for it that you know there are more than this is affordable. although there were no momentum or general custer cracks yet it was one called comical topical dishes for sure school . no matter which joke i'm sure to for the exam is a cool thing that it's going to say you can watch them here or the nuclear weapons capability of the muslim take what they are so one hundred ten times that you speak

to be down to talk about what you look at it but i mean it just almost like a soft job. as with spain's indignados or the will keep by wall street movement in the us romania's protest movement is led by activists like me hyped all it takes is a few activists like him to ignite social action in darfur but while they look to stay. cool character a more gentle darker black on more of a problem a plot to grab a bird she was just in prison such as might is go for the. extra muscle externals down dizziness the condition of resources and. so this is. needed i would yell at me that she was going to get me in an old. ok.

social activism on this level would have been unimaginable a few years ago. today targeted actions can take only a few hours to germinate and spread. across our choices about whole thinking something like that and it's a story about a more money back into the mccarthy year but then what we did there was a daughter to pull me and most of the shine on to the set almost so much the unit for students like that on our part it was meant to just hold the cards which is sure to show that the. that's. building the activist capacity of an entire generation is a bold project. the funky citizens aim to defy boundaries and to forge a path for civil society in romania. give this to the girls it's

what wins a complete because they can these qualities for the job that it does cost it should than if you cheat and steal and it was just the most democrats you outlets. in twenty twelve created the funky citizens to confront government corruption she hired hyperactive young graduates out of law political science and communications courses a coalition of creative activists the funky citizens are advocating for the growth of civil society in romania and that one is almost that that you know he's not come up with also to that that you're going to want to me was a part of the indoor me days to draw from all of. the wood to push off that popped up this morning thing today i wasn't cool or you know to some to block the ok i think i did good you know this might have been i see in the simplest legal that

that this sounds an awful lot of water in a week. off when he bought the. ngos and civil society activists have steadily been gaining momentum the funky citizens have been working in a vibrant offbeat style one of the of their name. on the citizens with pollution with. them gelatin acknowledged important that up to the issue but i'm certain they become something that's not stopped will be gone she funkier for last month of watching my surely my old film because. that is to awaken citizen awareness the funky citizens are addressing corruption with a sense of irony. is the creator of an unusual sight the bribe market which allows users to know the average bribe in a specific hospital town hall or police station exist the. goal.

she chip this site yes take. the cost. of course the chains each are because someone because. their. perspective of. what they get. up to one. meant they. and many future of the town lean. facet of vici a lot of. the. many young graduates with specialized skills have chosen to work in these novel structures. here they can discuss the performance of the courts fact check political statements or analyze the latest reforms. by. the time the feeling part.

for us a few thought they were. not the solid day or yet are here condo institutes you probably go i but corruption lives on even when high and mid-level officials are jailed public service budgets are also first though grown for corruption to address this elenor also has a countrywide program to train advocates how to decipher public financing. i think i thought that was what it was. just my experience if i could get a feel for what that. was ok so that's just as cool but a fight to the to support you take out a second spot you wanted your doctor to call to marty ya is the fucking force.

and it was so sad this is one of the most of what the cut up time and last class of them this past off and much you cut my teeth since he had to be done shooting the chief of numbers from dr b. so i call that actually cut into the large budget as i was going to. this bites this flurry of activism the fight against corruption is far from won. the government visits pains to recover stolen funds. the accused to decry stalinist trials and anger against the judicial system has reached a boiling point. the political climate has become so tense that's the chief prosecutor broached the issue on primetime radio. volatility known throughout the team to not included the loss of the now there's one of the got a knowledge of the dome this but arctic fox dark wood in fear god is the. if you've

got disease. that's one of the garden i'd legit at the dog to see if you thought the injun jim why did the cattle upset of all mine also and feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend to maintain a diary another ma activity denies that indoor meat raised british monarch all of it it's you know it's you know you're going to need one moment law possibility that they're pretty muddy don't i was the easy chair long and. yoda. but what are the limits of the rich and powerful when cornered by justice. politicians have been looking to pass laws that would diminish the d.n.a.'s powers. a good idea we don't anybody did it but it.

is religion or even three g. is there might be an action. just in reading he said it was just been very big. problem and. all the audience just came by a little door got his daughter someone if you took all that and celebrated to not so long and i mean it is a couple thoughts of adding this to god a subtle such a thought that you feel thoughts and your doubt journalists will for the first vision extend the important things to spread also better than it accords and seem to question your thoughts on your part in. law just the thought of a cut of fortune. on the thirty first of january twenty seventeen romania's newly sworn in government issued a late night executive order that would pardon politicians of some corruption offenses. the media quickly informed to the public by midnight twenty five thousand protesters flooded the streets of the capital that number swelled to three

hundred thousand in the next days with hundreds of thousands more gathered in cities across romania. the government was forced to rescind its decree a few days later. as a check to the powers of governance the funky citizens count on an important ally the european commission. on your off. the budget for the use of ground. zero for the usual case. since joining the e.u. romania has been closely monitored by the european commission twice a year the commission issues reports that. measure its progress in the fight against corruption. no one know what it. will be cheney looked a lot. called on the media couldn't sleep if he did and. what is out of the law books that we are transmitted from now on our lawn mower not what

you could remove or not at all what a poke at the parliament shop and you are just one or more your mini me she was broken and guarded. this point. the government trying to push the limits n.g.o.s and citizens mobilizing in the vigilant european commission this framework stands as the most efficient safeguard in attempts to weaken the fight against corruption. monitoring by the commission should end by twenty twenty but that's romania have the institutional and political maturity to progress on its own nothing to do such a touchy deal so soon i'm quoting here a foot artist macartney's the call but other issue that he thought it would. benefit you had this was he not on it but it was just a shrug to me that she could read the. comic on his. but out of part there could

have goshen i took that saying i haven't are difficult that us understand them i'm not just on quality let you know. it's early summer twenty sixteen and romania is about to elect new mayors romanian seem happy about the push for transparency but will they vote for change. many hope the election will reveal the impact that prosecutors and civil society groups are having on the romanian public. an equal shot adama has created the save bucharest union or the u s b. it's a campaign born of. civil society founded on hope in the democratic rejuvenation of romania. for this former mathematician the fight against corruption is a clear path towards the renewal of romania's political class. you almost. always for. one for.

one move outside the court law. where the. few simply to. use. the word. thought she had. she not opened up a book. of yours that you. should have done to present his party as the only recourse to a decadent political class a class that continues running candidates in battles by corruption scandals. on election day locked up has decided to follow a candidate he knows well one of the headliners of book arrests corruption to work . the mayor of bucharest sector five charged with taking a bribe of ninety million euros. a part and parcel with

a little bit isn't going to put you at home and so if you don't shut up when you put out this month they go yes i mean it's not going to stop without the shock of us all and about that he made what he could have been yes i'll probably make that. but i'm going with the voting to go against what i've been now when i have to make a putting could see. that the for the model that. i think you know but a lot of us are going to begin to. look look look look look look look. can i look on the. visible to the stats

that you wish but. what do you. think. the freak out is. if you're going to be taken this is not a test of. time and i. think. people. don't want you to do that for too much of. you simply. because it is good. because you don't think. that this new. things i think might. really push the funky citizens have banded with other n.g.o.s to spots plus. able fraud they've set up a call center and sent observers to polling stations i don't you i wish all of us would have said this are

a good source now so i thought. of him but when i think of it the less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant i think that's what. it. was the. vehicle was. really very overt so the temptation to have rest of it should i be as much of the shit he did the six years he wanted to be out of the way our country got so you take one cup he didn't get what the one you got what that little nasties discarded like wasting the bottom number just. to. come off the last of that to feel that i thought it was fun to be no particular victim here just tired only much of the six year got the new manufacturing jobs you know how much i wonder how little i think. the day is coming to an end and duns us meeting maids are awaiting the

results. in a surprise done cus the party has won thirty percent of the vote. it is the first time that the new political party has done so well in local elections. to profit. off. but you know. do you know why. bush. did it why. the funky citizens are taking stock of a day of mixed results even if mayor mike. tough photographed earlier hasn't been reelected candidates with corruption cases have done well. was i was leaving. do you. think did you think that you.

know off. limits analysis is fair the candidate's judicial troubles haven't stopped many from voting for them the romanians have real acted nearly fifty mayors convicted of or charged with corruption in. wasilla mayor of cry over charged with taking a bribe and money laundering reelected with fifty eight percent of the votes. the court rejected the d.n.a. charges and then generally twenty seventeen. became minister of labor and social justice. judges could have. charged with taking
