Amidst reports of bribery and corruption in the energy sector, an estimated 100,000 households in Romania, a member state of the European Union since 2007, lack electricity.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt: Last year, a fire at a Bucharest nightclub that killed 32 people led to anti-corruption protests against the government and resulted in the resignation of the then prime minister, Victor Ponta, and his government. Romania currently has a transitional technocratic government led by Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos.
The energy sector in Romania hasn't been immune from allegations of corruption. Daniel Befu, an investigative journalist, has been researching the subject for several years.
