you know it's really. going to be you know. once the most corrupt country in the european union romanian society is engaged in an unprecedented fight against corruption. on the thirty first of january twenty seventeen the biggest protests since the fall of the romanians communist dictatorship broke out in the streets of. the newly sworn in government had secretly passed to be greek 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 is an independent judicial body the national anti-corruption directorate for d.n.a.

in early twenty sixteen the d.n.a. steve prosecutor announced a sharp spike in corruption charges of course the mission is one that got the base on me i thought that using but the only villain not she made. oh was that emissions or they got them they changed my words mean each tissue parliament thought they could be on. the mini still change mishti shapes but as. she changed so not on its own independent collectives like the funky citizens have also joined the fight against corruption they are adopting the quirky offbeat approach. is this the go to. when it's forty below seventy shown this close up of a while for the most quotable it's an impossible task is that one of them says a lot of them from the phantom of the wind will go. she for most.

of the longest. 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. where. she thinks you're not going to school next. tuesday. this. meat turned director. and i mean of course. eric

a much shorter book so. meat than i just. want to be. my fourth. 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 my. time thank you so much. and. no. one did i'm. really forced with. the cash. who. was the. mayor

of poorest from two thousand and eight to twenty fifteen charged with taking bribes . but in general for the public about. the most. people are able to stand your first college. and go out of. the. mayor of new crist sector three those fifty one million euros in back taxes. that is amazing to me. mayor of bucharest. sector five from two thousand to twenty sixteen charged with taking ninety million euro bright. meat but. all describe the same pervasive reality in

romania gripes. the times are changing local government schools police stations and hospitals have a long history of taking bribes in exchange for service. i i i. i wasn't there she was a little good. because what you aspire 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 leverage touch of

a demo money artist pull the dent. she can what does that. sound got us thinking because. kurdish forces. up and partied their living got up. they example. and i got a. list of about this program. but. want to be my. parliament in my age despair contacted me to ask what about their preference now and. then they are forced quite. to. you know with. that part of. him or what i said. in two thousand and two the national anti-corruption direct

read 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. offshore start. up and. mr porter's own premier. and. also investing is. something. she got

a credit for the morton church of. not just her fourth almost. daughter shall call law exists with a lot of. document i put it online you don't need change the gist of the. shop. a few floors up but the d.n.a. a special investigations team is helping to solve some of the d.n.a.'s biggest cases. and that's to me is almost. here. it was a few more this feeling lucky you might feel lucky or not that i actually have but that. prosecutor. and police investigator nicole asia turned their

stripes in the fight against organized crime both highly skilled investigators they've unearthed key evidence leading to the prosecution of romanian political elites. wife that's another. woman intelligent we just shot we too far to the time of year or two of them. to go to it. was an. infection a diversion if you scar. speak out what little comment. must lead. them to poor vision in the dark and what live action they. put up with i she she had the right to tell him the very. question.

up with the charm would. have been wolf human history in a court getting cheaper so. we should give you a live i back around to look but question fresh put this divine ship by me so full seats. c.l.r. said better listen put us in that area let the rest. of it show the put it on that such a. good couldn't buy new it down the side was lost but the good old war party negotiators to sort of got to give almost all but that's a protest you start to be able to load it up with just a lot bundy a. couple it. was plus the use of that show it have already delayed going up the arse about their corrupt eligible monk at the progress of pen to paper. it out but that divide spread out there are no. victims or their core of a core of a. something. we can measure in the scheme of the post only bottoms

of course i mean quite in changes not just among. well. done across and under some i must i must have missed you speak so particular kind of it's new to different here. and your multiboot. d v r to remove the. united the opposition noise in the bogs issue nor can the fuck to. be in the party doing so would be. had the poor would see it. but also on the as. my me start your. year she also fuck. as an independent journalist autobytel has investigated corrupt officials and closely followed some of romania's most notorious corruption cases. that you would believe it. to be done and. if you look at. the leadership that was part of the

ruling but you were paid in. going to be community because you know but you don't want to lose seats only recently got. to stop. your money. 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 one thing they. didn't want to comment thanks to me and i. think.

you know money. at a nice. enough stops. at the state. office. for. my. chief changing then. the model. shift. so. as with other eastern bloc regimes the fall of the dictatorship provided an opportunity for party stalwarts to process. government funds where mr propre. did and many from the old guard to fill their pockets the dictatorship had given way to new levels of corruption. but of all let's hear what michael that you had extended would probably get that up only class taught level science that unlink levite that she. done for the other new normals

age up archie thought that out task not only got a society on as that are partially outclassing existent for them spawn other fuckin ways is that the winter politico della 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 of the moment when caught out on one yarn to put. on your novel bana then tried out a shot on film you know bene pinkel me set up an awful scene muscular support i could have gone d.t. out on my knee majlis untouchable investors on additional satish. when he come up of a was appointed a 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 romanians anti-corruption prosecutors many portland calendar that have to do it in

a short time i mean haven't they got a closing and got two thousand four. so you have very few times. and you have and that was important for me it was a support to me for me to change. in two 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 vick pushed for its right to prosecute white collar crime. but d.n.a. is first cases went relatively unnoticed by the press. but i think if we had our way for years she thought i have. fobbed all forced on one other woman. she used them quote as up until about a new study out on when you get those in parliament that governmental pre-modern he

stood out on when he. formed here at this question is that was he should. 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. charged with embezzling one and a half million euros for his electoral campaign and taking a six hundred thirty thousand year old right wing company telling the press about a woman who does that analysis and all of outside analysis of it. but she seems almost half step. i think all normal. so to my when i last i recall norm. so explained to the chair offical don't look. it.

oh yes they were. just. sick of it. just to talk to. you. but it 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. very. much a. photograph or is creating the unique series of documentary portraits that capture

the expressions of in battle delete what about. the signature that i. look like. i'm just getting about why don't 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. could see far more you know what kind of seconds out the baby was. different than the nutriment. which if that's. the case and i think that showed. but the more evident the

moment the recorders are this could it be that the water boils down to the wind if . there were the right it was as if it was you you couldn't live for the naturalist . she interrupted you don't know what's up for the world but actually looking into the city and we can kind of predict visited the common among even real actually that i was you know used to deluded folk judge just a couple options that they got as usual but it's up to me just enough honestly if you want to dress up being the one with it but just that one doctor says the she needs the person the worst that will be you know what you think you now. on. the market is and they might not have been asked about the part of. the larger box that is what we would have a week ago she don't know if you imagine our coverage of one will begin to be part of the logic of law sort of a loss that is. all i. think.

a little. shocking but then tional me to feel many chilled out the broken already most and to be it's all on the pro corey thing mr young as a pullman pulte but. that's only to taught us that happened in the wrong. couldn't go on the ball. on credit and instituting merge will be chattel until consulting a more proper girl but it's also lizzie she college in laurel well. been thrilled or sorry for the important delicious as the change of guard started lot of those are all a little cheap thirst and on top of it will go your own lunch aboard. the no. own vapor important of in a lot. of different parts of a gas to say more. important

not because of. the fact almost half hearted out to. supporting friends sadly geology diminished or economy shares if you know rome does she transgress kalyani could i already. have a son. my. view. is about that actually extend a moment then into many more into. the moment we got it back. current news. just like. the way over the limit on the prison not to mention you wanted one of the richest men in romania sentenced to two and a half years in prison for paying

a one million euro bribe released halfway through his sentence the arctic would no system without. the dollar and the. lavender right she was my market and was cool. she. came up you got me doubt there. groups are just very limited this is very. stupid or they can organise that action on the at the moment they killed as it were for. the government you support are believed to have detained maybe a million people in reeducation camps certainly not grabbing headlines in china only in a while kings of the people's republic is probably not best just to dismiss everything as propaganda to use propaganda because your abrasive aggressive way of addressing a man to his son challenges chinese finance yet charles leaves you with something

a new and constructive period that can solve many of our problems i believe that the young people who took to the streets in cities around the country acted responsibly which impressed people both locally and abroad we must continue and work together with this responsibility with full mutual respect and tend this crisis into a constructive process the u.k.'s attorney general says that a revised to divorce deal with the european union has not given britain legal means of exiting the so-called backstop arrangement that comes as the prime minister's bragg's a proposal is up for a second vote in parliament after the first one was rejected in january to resume will present a revised version of a withdrawal deal to m.p.'s later on tuesday. has become the latest country to ban the boeing seven three seven max aircraft from its airspace it follows a similar decision by singapore the precaution comes after an ethiopian airliner

since joining the european union and romania has been engaged in an unprecedented judicial overhaul special prosecutors have joined with journalists activists and romanians growing civil society to uncover and prosecute corruption at the highest 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 papers leak. or tipping listing artists

from actually investing i shall put it thirty oshima i think that's what i need to look i know what i'm going to tell us apart on this was not. their money value. with them. wanting more lucky and. cheap. paint it all for me when i walk out of it a little person but i'll go and sell it said. you know what i mean i think that it wasn't only getting. in for much of. it. because we lost city a little to protect us this bubble but isn't oh bugger that they're going to put up a lot of itself was going with this building by nearly start the noble soul of the thought that only that was for this was a thing for months you know the dangers are going to go down that it has become bonnie good if i can watch a little money thing which. for

the money for that technology policy like us investing in. commodities at the. last could think of a few 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 was the ongoing judicial battle has energized protesters in november twenty fifteen tens of thousands flooded the streets of bucharest to protest the deadly fire at the collective nightclub despite the unsafe conditions the club obtained its operating license in exchange for a bride. sixty four people mostly teenagers died in the blaze. just 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 that their place in society. is a historian and specialist in communist crimes he's also a famous activist in bucharest fellow. because it was pretty much one million media. we should ask you what we got because. it's one of our books you should know what is your thoughts this is a good movie for that you know there are more than is affordable. although there were no moment in which an officer rex young was born called comical vicious for

sure. no matter which joke i'm sure to for the exam is a cool thing that it's like an authentic and watch them and you often could think of what was going on before the must take things one hundred ten times a day because of the difference down to talk about going to look it up but i mean you're not just most likely so locked up. as with spain's in the goes or the old queue 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 will they put the state. will conduct a more gentle darker black on more of a problem a photograph that bursts she was just in prison such as might is go for the. eye exam also externals down dizziness the condition of resources of. surprises. me to know you're not really that you might be going to tell me you know if it was ok.

to make it. 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 of a whole slate of sentiment my goodness a story about a more money back into them courtesy of them what we did there was a daughter to pull me and most of the shine on to the set almost so much the way you look for students like that a lot but it was meant to just hold it because she's a few issues sure to see that. did you think that. 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. if this really goes it's quite amazing to complete the codes. and cost of shipping if you cheat the system and it was just the mosque. that was. in two thousand and twelve created the funky citizens to confront government corruption she hired hyperactive young graduates out of law political science and communications courses. a correlation of creative activists the funky citizens are advocating for the growth of civil society in romania. who want something that that you know he's not going to get that you're going to want to me was a part of the indoor me days to come up more often. but to push off the topic this

morning the day i wasn't born or you know to some to block well i think i did. not have an age. in the simplest legal that that this sounds an awful lot more income we. saw when he often. left. n.g.o.s 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 who is going to. send them to the to the going to import that up to that issue but i'm certain then becomes a thing that's all stop will be gone she funkier for last one got a fortune why should my old film because. it has 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. and. softly yes they should chip this site yes they could. start the course the chines age because someone because. their. perspective of. what they got. meant they. are. many features at the. last facet of vici a lot of. 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.

for the surfing part they. exempt. well for us a few thought they were. all caught 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 for corruption to address this elenor also has a countrywide program to train advocates how to decipher public financing i. thought i thought it was odd but i was i would. jump on a fit if it was just

a few. that. was ok so that's just as cool but up but just getting the support get a count second to spot one digit that's it the call to forty hour is the fuckin store so i can. get it this sucks this is one of the most aquatic at the time and most questioned them this past the third and much much you cut much ice into the topic then shooting the chief never spawned up to be so i call that actually cut down for trash i was going to move to. despite this flurry of activism the fight against corruption is far from won. the government is it 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 almost sort of volatility not the other the team fool not included the last of the now there's one of the got a knowledge of this but i forgot darkly in fear god is the. the best one of the garden i legit at the dog. in jan jim i did take out the set of all mine also and feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend doing to need another market if you don't see denies that indoor meat raised british of it it's you know it's you know you're going to need one moment law possibility that they're pretty muddy than i was that are easy to 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 . we don't anybody did it but it. is there might be a next. parliament and it's funny all the audience just came by little dog on his auto someone if you took all that and celebrated so not so long and i mean there's a couple of thoughts of the davis thing got a shuttle such a thought that you feel that sailed out journalists well for the first vision extend the important things to forty but it also better than it accords on seem to question your thoughts on your part. just the thought of a cut of fortune. on the thirty first of january twenty seventh teen 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 offer to meet them. for all your 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 who looked a lot. on the cheap if he'd. had the law books that see all the. lawnmower not. talk at the bottle shop but i'm sure. she won three and got it. although not a change. of 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. so seem.

a foot artist mike on the circle but other issue that he carries it with him what about the future this was a saga but it was just a shrug she could read and comment. but out apart there could have goshen i took that same haven't are difficult she crept into such as anthem play 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 of them 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 move outside the court law. if you simply said. yes you are meeting with. me and. there were those. you thought i thought she had. she not open up. the news that you. should have done to present his party as the only recourse to a decadent political class a class that continues running candidates embattled 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 that if you don't shut up when you put out this month they go yes i mean it's not going to get his cup of coffee shop because all that he made what he could have been yes i'll take that. but i'm going with the voting to go to get one that i've been out with and i have to make a putting could see. that the for the model that. i have well but a lot of us are going to begin to. look look look look look look look.

i can only look on the. physical fitness test that you wish but. what do you. think. the freak out is. if you're going to be taken this is nothing tested. for nothing i need to. be. doing the union to do that for too much of. what you. could. do with which to do good. because you don't think. that. you. would think i think my question. really pushed 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 know if your. own class would have said they could store so i thought. of him but when i think of it you know less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant i think that's what the fault. that. was the cause the employee has to. really play over the whole tent issue not rest of it should i be as much of the she did this six yet she wanted me out of the way our friends that say you take one copy didn't get what the one you got what that's a little nasty is the secret and i was single one of them last. night you. both passed and that's a feeling that i thought it was fun to be not going to give it to someone here to

talk about why not just the six year got a new manufacturing jobs you know how much it wasn't enough and i think. the day is coming to an end and to me to show that dunn's us meeting minutes are awaiting the results. in a surprise me done see us we 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 go off. topic. but if you thought. do you know i. really didn't think it was. the funk you citizens are taking stock of a day of mixed results even if me or my young van give you photographed hasn't been reelected candidates with corruption cases have done well. i was going to go then i

was i was leaving. i. also thought about it over the phone thing 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 get. charged with taking a bribe reelected with fifty two percent of the vote. but the link mayor of miami charged with taking a bribe reelected with seventy percent of the vote while behind bars. as romania confronts the ghosts of its past the descendants of a bygone era are clinging to money and power. in the legislative elections of late twenty sixteen the majority of seats went to the social democratic party who are fiercely despite them earlier conviction of its president for electoral fraud. but people are beginning to support the new parties on the promise of change. following
