Extra muscle accidentals down dizziness the condition of resources of. Surprises. Me to know yet not really that she was going to get me and i was ok. And. 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 thinking sometimes my goodness a story about a more romani are going to democrats here but what we did there was a daughter for me and also to shine on to the set of the Summer School year look for students like that all but it was its best to just hold it because shes a few issues sure to show that the. Was. 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 its quite amazing to complete because the condition is for the job. Close to the ship and if you cheat the system and it was just the most we can get them back to you that was what i did. 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 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 hes not come up with also to that that youre going to want to me was a part of the indoor me days to draw from all of that. For you to push for that office who foresaw more of the day i wasnt born or you know to some to block the ok i think i might have to go to stay out of range this is not in the simplest legal that that this sounds an awful lot of water in a week its. Off when you off the. Ngos and Civil Society activists have steadily been gaining momentum the funky citizens have been working in a vibrant style one of the of their name. On the citizens with pollution with. Import the minute that up to the issue but im certain they become something thats not stopped 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. She chip this site yes to. Start the course to choose each other because someone picked. Their. Perspective of. What they. Meant they. Were many features at the town when. 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 the feeling part. They exempt. Photos of course i thought they were. Solid day or year are here institutes you probably go i but corruption lives on even when high and midlevel 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. John was a spirit it was just a feel for everything that. Was ok so thats just as cool but the fact that to attain a support you become second is what you wanted to thats and to call it the tea party aisle is the fucking force. And this sucks this is one of the most of what the cut up time and most class of them in this past half hour and much yeah we cut much ice in tampa to be done shooting the chief want to respond after we so i called that actually and i pointed out our trash and was going to move. This by to 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 thats the chief prosecutor broached the issue on prime time radio. Duty not to allow the team to not dog included the last of the now theres one of the got a knowledge of to this but arctic fox dark wood in fear god is the. The best one of the garden i legit at the dog receive a daughter in jan jim i did take out the opposite of all mine also and feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend doing to need another ma activity denies that indoor meat raised british of it its you know its you know. Doc of us going to have a moment la possibility that theyre pretty muddy dont i was there or is each are 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 dont anybody did it but it. Is religion or even three g. Is there might be an election. Just a really good sort it was has been very big. Problem and its funny all the audience just came by little dog on his auto someone if you took all that and celebrated to not so long and i mean theres a couple of thoughts of adding this to gotta shuttle such a thought that you feel that saying your doubts are eligible for the first vision extend the important things to forty for those of you know them with a cool dont seem to question your thoughts any parting. Just the thought of the current fortune. On the thirty first of january twenty seventh teen romanias 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 behalf to meet them but you cannot use. For all 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 me because if he didnt get annoyed when i make him pay them on it or use out of the law books that. We are transmitters and all our lawn mower not what you could remove or not or what a poke at the bottle shop under out they could just send one or more you mean she was broken free and guarded. 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 thats romania have been institutionalized and political maturity to progress on its own ninety such utter t. V. So seeing them quit the idea of foot artist maicon is the goal but other issue that he carries the it would. Have been if you chair the scene that i need to saga but twelve just a shrug to be that she could read the. Comic on his website on one of the but out up part there could at goshen i took that say i havent are difficult she crept at us not to send them not just on quality let you know. Its 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. Its 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 romanias Political Class. You almost. If you think its. There were those two. Years 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 battled 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. Apart and also with a little bit isnt going to put you at home and so if you dont shut up when you put out as much they go yes i mean its gods going to step out the shop because. It will come he made what he could have been yes ill probably make that. But im going with the coding to go against what ive been now when i have to make a putting could see. That the for the market i. Have to. Go but the robots are going to begin to. Look look look look look look look. For them a little on the. Visible to the steps that you wish to see. What. You might think. But really kind of think if youre going to be taken this is not a test of. Time and i. Think. People. Dont want you to do that for too much of. What you. Would think with was pretty good. Because you we still think. That this new. Things i think might. Push the funky citizens have banded with other n. G. O. S to spots plus. Able fraud theyve set up a call center and sent observers to polling stations i dont see how much. All of us would have thought of so they could show us how so i thought. Of him but what i think of it the less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant i think thats what. It. Was the first blow up being able. To mobilize. Their own potential should not rest of it should i be as much of the she did the six yet she wanted me out of the way our friends that say you take one copy didnt get what the one you got what thats a little nasty discarded like wasting the bottom number last. Night you. Come off fast and thats a feeling that i thought it was fun to be no hard to get you to come here to talk about why not just the six year gap in the manufacturing jobs you know how much i wanted out of it i think. The day is coming to an end and to me it was short of duns us beating maids are awaiting the results. In a surprise show done cus the party has won thirty percent of the votes. 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. Would think that it was. The funky citizens are taking stock of the day of mixed results even if mayor mike young van give you a tough photographed earlier hasnt been reelected candidates with Corruption Cases have done well. Was i was leaving. The. Scene did you think that you. Know off. Limits analysis is fair the candidates judicial troubles havent stopped many from voting for them the romanians have real acted nearly fifty mayors convicted of or charged with corruption and. 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 caught mayor of charged with taking a bribe reelected with fifty two percent of the vote. But the linkage 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 this by 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 than see us changed its name to a new union for us winning nine percent of seats in parliament. Romania continues its push to become an example amongst its Eastern European neighbors at least for now. Is the countrys transformation to democracy a revolution a Long Distance race a rebate in which the baton is handed over to the next generation teenagers after the fall of communism. Citizens are supporting the Civic Education of this youth. In romania today Civil Society engages all age groups but in a culture of corruption the countrys greatest hope may well lie. Cool me.
