there are. going to be you know. one of the most corrupt country in the european union romanian society using gauged in an unprecedented fight against corruption. in. the thirty first of january twenty seventh the biggest protests since the fall of romanians communist dictatorship broke out in the streets of calcutta. the newly sworn in government had secretly passed a degree that's good 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.

chief prosecutor announced a sharp spike in corruption charges to me should that got them based on me and those that users think bought the line even when 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. this. meter and direct. i mean of course. eric

a much shorter book so. not just. a lot of. my philosophy was. about a young minister of agriculture in two thousand and seven sentenced to three years in prison for accepting bribes in cash and sausages they let him in jail the my but . in the time thank you so much. and. no. one. 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 are done for the public about the mother. and the out of. the inside out. mayor of two crist sector three those fifty one million euros in back taxes. you see in the. mirror of the cruelest. 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. wasn't there she was a little good for. you because what you exposure tried and some of what 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 pulled a dent. she can what does that. sound got us thinking because. kurdish forces. parted the living god up. they example. and i got a long as a minister by the. but. lord be my. parliament be my age despair contacted me to ask what about the prophets now. that he died just. then they are forced quite there yet. you know they should all with their shit that they appreciate is that part of the force we need to get out of this vitale who taught him all what i said they speak of. him or what i say they speak out if i get that a lot. in two thousand and two the national anti-corruption director read or d n a

was created as an independent judicial body to enact reforms required for romanians 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. on off or start. up and then. not too long to condition up and then. there's the meanest walter mr porter's own premier there's no parliament parliament. investing is one of.

only a photo here she's got a good sort of a more than church a far. not just a fourth almost. daughter shall call or exist or general to put a lot of credit with our system which are vo and vulcan there are bottom line you don't need change but just a. little rough water shop there on the other. side of the. one might are 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 the reason this is. back out. there now actually have. you. seen the future mark in this film are you. feeling lucky tonight that i buy. that. prosecutor.

and police investigator nicole earned 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. their warm intelligent we just shot we too far to the time of year or two of them. are pretty good thought it. was an. earnest one out they can make up. their version if he's got a. big squeak out what the little commenter fights. through must lead. them to poor vision in the dark and what live action therefore who. has put up with i she she and the other tell in the very. question harsh.

up with the charm of course. of the wolf human history in a court getting cheaper so. the issue demurely i walk around to look but question high should put this divine binding so full seats. c.l.r. elizabeth us cannot realize the rest. of it show of it looked at it on that subject. couldn't buy knew its downside was lost that the good old war party leadership has to sort of think you've all met all put that simple test of study up all you like dr just lost a lot bundy a. couplet it. was the last use of that show it have already delayed because of the other five out there go up there was a bear market of progress open to. get out. of the valley for that one. or their core of a core of a. something on. the disk you want to post on how the bottoms

of our samina point n.j. just small warm. down across and under some i must i must invest in your speak some pig of a kind and it's new to different here. and your multiple. d.b. marjorie modded 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. but also on the as. my me start. year she also fuck. as an independent journalist bugel has investigated corrupt officials and closely followed some of romania's most notorious corruption cases. which would be needed. to meet and they would be if you don't look at.

anybody she thought was part of the ruling but you paid a. little beat you to. get in but if you want to see the way you simply got. to stop. your money. my good day to. you. i was on a lot of. means change. but you have. somebody pull a scoop 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 the. money comment to. me but i. think.

you know money. enough. with enough will stops. just. for us 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 were misappropriate. did and many from the old guard to fill 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 that level science that on line. she. done for the other new normals it up archie thought that

out task not only got a society on there's a 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 out a set here couple below such as what is that nuclear cell scheme other momentum carried out on one yard to put. on your noddle panna then tried that out a shuttle you know bene pinkel me so openoffice than most of us support i could have gone d.t. i don't when you say my lesson totally versed as an additional state issue. 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 romanians anti-corruption prosecutors in many parts and the

calendar that we have to do it in a short time i mean have a accounting and but two thousand and four so i have very few time to date. and then i was important for me it was a support to me for me to change. into short years minister michael vs 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 the push 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 years have. forced 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 governmental pre-modern 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. 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 has that analysis and all of outside analysis. but she seemed almost her step doll. i think all normal. so to my one i less i because the norm. so explain the chair a focal don't look when. it. yes

they were. used to get. sick of it. just to our facility you know 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 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 captured

the expressions of in battle delete what. i perceived that it should be more that i. look like. i'm just going to give up ok 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. see far more people watch out quite a few seconds out the baby was almost a different. neutral moment. for. you because the place i was there at the end of that show explode. what's more if we didn't for a moment recorded so this could be that the water boils down to the wind if you.

say wonderful but it was as if it was you you couldn't live but imagine that. it was that she interrupted 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 on it and real upset that i was you know used to deluded fuck judges just spoke up an option is that the clutch that was put up for me just enough i was going to go to undress hoping they can run with it but just that one doctor says the she needs to see the worst that will be you know what you get them down. on. them i think they said they might not have been out without the part of. the larger bodies but we need to get in the door she don't know if you imagine our coverage of my will to get out of the part of the logic of loss or a loss that is. going. to make.

on this was not butter their money value. with them but each and got it all. shell money more than he and. cheap it was on the edge to go on then paint them all for me when i was. going sell it said. you know what out when i was meeting with you but it was fun to look at me. from artsy. so it. has been a city a little budget. but isn't old was it or not they were going to put up a large loop in the lives of those men with this program by nearly starting up with a leaf that the only that was for this was a thing for mighty notable dangers are i don't you call them that that is because by negro if i can fudge it a little money for that english example. let's become friends of sorts and they're not there before all the money for that technology for us in like us are investing on. commodities at the last.

in recent years rumanian 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 am the thing i the ongoing judicial battle has energized protesters in nov twenty fifteen tens of thousands flooded the streets of bucharest to protest the deadly fire at the collective nightclub despite unsafe conditions the club of tainted operating license in exchange for a bride. sixty four people mostly teenagers died in the blaze i just persis prime minister victor 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 i know you're going to say i. don't think either one of you know one million yet. we should just you know what we got was a little small of our petition now what does he puts. in there that are more than he says a fourth of a little moment in which you know that's your one call comic walking fish is for sure. no matter which joke i'm sure for the it's

a simple thing that it's going to sit and watch them and you're thinking. what it's going to look at that must take what we're going to see what how do you say ok i'm going to speak to that if you don't want to talk about what you look at it but i mean it just almost like a soft job. as with spain's in the ignore those or the occupy wall street movement in the us romania's protest movement is led by activists like me hate. all it takes is a few activists like him to ignite social action to. put this thing. all kind of get a more gentle kind of black on more my. part to get other birds she was just. such as mine is go for the. extra muscle it's your nose down dizziness cheek and in a voice. so this is. really that you want to go i want to get me you know. let's.

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 have a whole slew of sometimes good insights for baltimore. back into the earth's year but what we did there was a daughter to pull me out of the show on to the set of the summer school because truthfully said of all but it was meant to be just over there because she's sure to see the footage of the. 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 it means to complete because again these qualities for the job well done it and get close to the ship and if you cheat and used to think it was just get them on someone and get them back to you that's what i did and. in twenty twelve created the funky citizens to confront government corruption she hired a 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 that you want to visit with all that that you know he's not come up with also to that that you're going to put on it mean as a part of the indoor me days to trim off more of. the food to push off the pot that this could force some more of the day over wasn't cool or you know to some to block

the overhead of the might is good you know this is medicine i think it's about in the simplest legal that that this sounds an awful lot and warm and cold we exist. when foxtel you know. 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 names. on this it isn't. important that up to the issue but i'm so. i'll stop will become she funkier for last month at a fortune 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. should chip this site yes take. the course the chines age because. their. perspective of. what they. meant they. were many future the town in. 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.

at the time surfing part. first of course i thought they were. solid day or year here on the institute's you probably go i but corruption lives on even when the 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 think i thought that was what it was. a. job with a spirit if i could get a feel for what i. was ok so that's just as cool but

a part of the just getting the support you account second because what you wanted to that's in the call to my idea is the fight against force. and this says this is one of the most aquatic at the time and most profitable and this past the third and much each year we had much less intelligent to be done shooting the chief want to respond after we so i called my chair i pointed out for trash i was going to get. this bites this flurry of activism the fight against corruption is far from won. the government does 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 known

throughout the team to not included the last of the now there's one of the got a knowledge of to this but i forgot dark wood in fear god is the. if your god is. the best one out of the garden i'd legitimate the dog receive the thought that the ancient jim. set of all mine also and feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend to maintain a diary another mocked of it that he denies that indoor meat raised british of it it's you know it's you know. doc of us going to give a moment law possibility that they're pretty muddy don't i was that is each year 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 by being. deliberately i mean. there is religion. is there might be an election. just a really good sort it was has been very big. problem 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 it is a couple thoughts of adding this to got a shuttle such i thought that you feel that saying your doubts are eligible for the first vision extend the importance of the bill are just things to forty but it also better than it accords on seem to question your thoughts on your part in. law just the four of the current 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 will know what in the party will be cheney who looked a lot. called on me because if he didn't get annoyed me keeping them on it or use

out of the law books that. we are smith and all our lawn mower not what you could remove or not at all but what a poke at the bottle shop under out being just one or more you me she was broken free and guarded. why not call the knowledge of 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 ninety such utter t.v. so seeing them quick thirty year foot artist mckinney's the call but other issue

that he carries it with him a lot of benefit yeah this was seen at on it but it was just a shrug to the she could read the. comic on his website on one of the but out up part there could at goshen nature that say i haven't are difficult she crept that us not to send them 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 a 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. is that the way you. should have done has created the save book arrest 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. a. while move on to other quite law. if you think it's. there were. enough open up. years that. an equal 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. up i don't want to look at us and get to put you know me so that if you don't shut up when you put out this month they go yes yes i mean it's going to get his cup of coffee shop across. the table but he made what he could have been yes i'll probably make that. but i'm going with the voting to go to get one that i've been out with an awful cynical putting could see. that the for the market that. i think. the five of us are going to begin to. look look look look look look look.

for them a little more. visible the steps that you wish but. what do you. think you know. that you really kind of think you know 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. what you. could. do with was pretty good. because you don't think. that this new. things i think might work. for 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 see how much. the must have said they could store cell phone i thought. of him but what i think of it the less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant i think that's what. it. was the good lord being able. to. really clear. up the tense issue now rest of it should i be as much of the she did this six yet she wanted to be out of the way our friends say you take one copy didn't get what the one you got what that's a little nasty is the secret i was single but the number just. come off fast 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 if i wanted

a little house in. the days coming to an end and me push out of dunns us meeting maids are awaiting the results. in a surprise show 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. so far to profit. off. but if you. do you know i. think that it was. the funky citizens are taking stock of the day of mixed results even if mayor mike young van give you photographed hasn't been reelected candidates with corruption cases have done well. was i was leaving.

the. scene did you figure. it. out on. us 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. 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 electoral success a few my. earlier should have been see us be party changed its name to save rome
