After just three weeks in power, Romania’s new Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu could look out of his window and see a huge crowd carrying banners reading: “You have succeeded in uniting us”.
High officials who commit minor crimes and small officials who commit big crimes are equally guilty of corruption – this is the global consensus under rule of law. Romania's constitutional machinery is in disarray and the country needs to reform its constitution to be in touch with the times. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all legislators should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
