A purge in Romania скачать в хорошем качестве

A purge in Romania

An anti-corruption movement has swept through Romania. Thousands have been convicted – including some of the country’s most powerful politicians and business leaders. But, critics claim prosecutors are engaging in a political witch hunt. Citizens on both sides of the issue have recently held massive rallies. In early August, nearly 500 anti-government demonstrators were injured. CORRECTION: At 6:05, we show a picture of Victor Ponta that incorrectly implies that he was president. He was never president. He was prime minister.
