So i call that actually i pointed out the trash and it was kind of. 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 thats the chief prosecutor broached the issue on primetime radio. Volatility known throughout the team to not included the loss of the now theres one of the got a knowledge of the dome this but arctic fox dark wood in fear god is the. Thats one of the garden id legit at the dog to see if you thought their intention why did the cattle upset of all mine also feed him a shot and then to go to cedar bend 20 need another market if you dont see them as that indoor meat race british front it its you know its you know youre going to need one moment law 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. Or we dont anybody did it but. There is religion. Is there might be a new. Parliament. Although didnt sustain the little dog on his auto someone if you took all that and celebrated so not so long and i mean it is a couple of thoughts and i think the cigar shuttle such a thought that you feel thats in your doubt journalists will for the 1st vision extend the important things to spread those of you know them with records and seem to question your thoughts on your part in. Law just the thought of a cut of fortune. On the 31st of january 2017 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 25000 protesters flooded the streets of the capital that number swelled to 300000 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 now you. 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 is a party. Any good look a lot of the shop. Called on me they couldnt sleep if you did and got annoyed when i make you pay them on it or use out of the law books that. We are transmitter from now on our lawn mower not what you could remove or not or what a poke at the Parliament Shop under out they could just send. Me she was broken free and got it bought. Were not called that were not originally this point. The government trying to push the limits n. G. O. S and citizens mobilizing and 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 2020 but thats romania have been institutionalized and political maturity to progress on its own 90 such utter t. V. So seeing them quit the idea of what artist mckinneys their goal but other issue that he carries it with him out of any future this will see not only to sabah but 12 just a shrug to the she could read them. Comic on his website on one of the but out up part there could at goshen i took that say i havent are difficult. That us not to send them an artist on quality let you know. Its early summer 2016 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. Is that the way you. Should have done has created the safe book arrest union for 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 all know. If you. There were. Enough open up. 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 5 charged with taking a bribe of 90000000. 00 euros.

On my arm of the for the market that. I think. The 5 of us are going to begin to. Look look look look look look look. Can i look on the more. Visible to the steps that you wish but. What do you. Think. The freakout is going to be if youre going to be taken from this is nothing. To do. You. Think. People should be doing their own year to do. Pretty much you want to. Do you think ok. We will be pretty good. Because you dont think. That this new. Things i think might. Really push the funky citizens have banded with other n. G. O. S to spots plus. Theyve set up a call center and sent observers to polling stations i dont think you are. The last would have thought of Something Like this or so so i thought. Of him but what i think of it the less frequently than before electoral fraud can be just as flagrant as far as what the fault. It. Was the hood being equally as good to local. For their own potential should never muster a vision to be as much of the city did the 6 years he wanted to be out of the way or kind that say you take one cabinet and there was the one you got what that little nasties discarded like we single one of them was. To. Come off last and that to feel that i thought it was fun to be no particular victim coming here to talk privately much of the 6 years i have a new manufacturing jobs you know how much i want to know when i think. The day is coming to an end and me push out of dunns us meeting maids are awaiting the results. In a surprise done cus the party has won 30 percent of the vote. It is the 1st time that the new Political Party has done so well in local elections. So far to profit. Off. But you. Just do feel like. Bush. Did it. The funky citizens are taking stock of a day of mixed results even if mayor mike young van gurley you photographed the earlier hasnt been reelected candidates with Corruption Cases have done well. Was i was leaving. The. d scene did you figure you. Know off. Limits analysis is fair the candidates judicial troubles havent stopped many from voting for them the romanians have real acted nearly 50 mayors convicted of or charged with corruption. Wasilla mayor of cry over charged with taking a bribe and Money Laundering reelected with 58 percent of the votes. The court rejected the d. N. A. Charges and in january 2017. Became minister of labor and social justice. Judges get. Charged with taking a bribe reelected with 52 percent of the vote. But the link mayor of miami charged with taking a bribe reelected with 70 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 2016 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 more. Earlier. U. S. B. Party changed its name to the save room a new union for us winning 9 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 for a Long Distance race a remade in which the baton is handed over to the next generation teenagers born well after the fall of communism. The funky citizens are supporting the Civic Education of this youth platform. In romania today Civil Society engages all age groups but in a culture of corruption the countrys greatest hope may well live with it you beat. Me. But im feeling.
