2
00:00:30,025 --> 00:00:32,865
On the 30th of October 2015
a fire breaks out
3
00:00:33,145 --> 00:00:35,865
during a concert
in the Colectiv club in Bucharest.
4
00:00:36,065 --> 00:00:40,745
It instantly kills 27 young people
and injures another 180.
5
00:00:41,145 --> 00:00:47,545
Outraged by the fact that the popular club
was functioning without fire exits,
6
00:00:47,825 --> 00:00:51,985
people take to the streets
against the corrupt authorities.
7
00:00:54,825 --> 00:01:01,385
Massive nationwide protests force the
Social Democratic government to resign.
8
00:01:01,945 --> 00:01:04,625
To calm the people's fury
9
00:01:04,945 --> 00:01:09,465
a politically independent government
of technocrats is appointed.
10
00:01:09,705 --> 00:01:15,985
It receives a one-year mandate,
until the next general elections.
11
00:01:19,265 --> 00:01:21,385
37 more burn victims
12
00:01:21,705 --> 00:01:27,145
die in hospitals during the four months
after the Colectiv fire.
13
00:01:55,985 --> 00:01:58,585
I lost a loved one, Madalina.
14
00:02:00,985 --> 00:02:03,425
It is tragic and painful for all of us.
15
00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:11,545
Unfortunately, our health system...
16
00:02:13,585 --> 00:02:14,985
is rotten.
17
00:02:16,385 --> 00:02:21,265
How could people who escaped the fire...
18
00:02:23,905 --> 00:02:27,505
still die in hospitals 12 days later?
19
00:02:30,945 --> 00:02:32,065
Good afternoon.
20
00:02:33,265 --> 00:02:34,505
My son...
21
00:02:35,225 --> 00:02:40,745
On the 4th, the Vienna General Hospital
agreed to take my son.
22
00:02:41,785 --> 00:02:43,345
They refused to sign...
23
00:02:44,385 --> 00:02:47,905
The Bucharest Hospital
refused to sign off on his transfer.
24
00:02:48,105 --> 00:02:50,905
The hospital's management, that is.
25
00:02:51,545 --> 00:02:54,825
When he finally arrived in Vienna
on the evening of the 7th...
26
00:02:55,665 --> 00:02:58,465
bacteria had infected his entire body.
27
00:02:59,585 --> 00:03:04,785
We asked why they foolishly delayed
his transfer? And they answered,
28
00:03:05,345 --> 00:03:08,265
"A communication error".
29
00:03:09,625 --> 00:03:12,265
A communication error killed my son.
30
00:03:20,745 --> 00:03:22,945
My name is Laurentiu Istrate.
31
00:03:23,625 --> 00:03:27,345
I am the father
of one of the young people...
32
00:03:29,505 --> 00:03:33,465
who died after 13 days of agony
33
00:03:34,225 --> 00:03:37,545
in a Bucharest hospital.
34
00:03:38,465 --> 00:03:42,425
The authorities lied to us,
and failed to transfer them abroad...
35
00:03:43,265 --> 00:03:46,385
in time, where they could have been saved.
36
00:03:46,665 --> 00:03:51,185
Maybe not all of them would have lived.
But surely we wouldn't have had
37
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:56,265
another 37 die after the fire.
38
00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:00,305
I am Catalin Tolontan,
from the Sports Gazette.
39
00:04:00,625 --> 00:04:04,825
The media and the public
were told that authorities
40
00:04:05,065 --> 00:04:08,185
were managing the situation impeccably
41
00:04:08,425 --> 00:04:12,825
and providing the best
medical care possible.
42
00:04:13,545 --> 00:04:16,105
- Did they tell you the same thing?
- Yes.
43
00:04:16,345 --> 00:04:18,345
So you were as confident as we were?
44
00:04:18,705 --> 00:04:22,265
All hospitals gave
the same standard answer.
45
00:04:22,585 --> 00:04:26,225
"We have everything we need.
Your children are being treated
46
00:04:26,425 --> 00:04:28,185
better than in Germany."
47
00:04:28,545 --> 00:04:30,265
- Same as their public statement.
- Yes.
48
00:04:30,545 --> 00:04:36,545
The same answer was given to us personally
by the minister of health at that time.
49
00:04:40,665 --> 00:04:44,945
Fuck all your wicked corruption!
50
00:04:45,865 --> 00:04:50,865
It's been there since our inception
But we couldn't see
51
00:04:51,185 --> 00:04:56,065
All the times we've felt so hollow
As our hopes were hanged in gallows
52
00:04:56,385 --> 00:05:00,865
All this time we've been locked away
And there was nothing left to say
53
00:05:01,465 --> 00:05:04,985
Until today!
54
00:05:19,745 --> 00:05:21,025
Cheers!
55
00:05:23,585 --> 00:05:25,025
To all of us!
56
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:28,465
Thank you very much
for being here tonight.
57
00:05:28,705 --> 00:05:30,425
Something's on fire here.
58
00:05:33,985 --> 00:05:35,305
That's not part of the show.
59
00:05:41,265 --> 00:05:42,825
Is there a fire extinguisher?
60
00:05:57,985 --> 00:05:59,225
Easy, easy!
61
00:06:11,985 --> 00:06:13,785
Get out!
62
00:06:36,945 --> 00:06:41,145
The Romanian government sends
its condolences to the victims' families.
63
00:06:41,745 --> 00:06:47,465
Every effort is being made
to save those who are hospitalized.
64
00:06:51,465 --> 00:06:57,705
At present,
all medical needs are being met.
65
00:07:01,305 --> 00:07:04,745
I assure you that everything
that could be done in Germany
66
00:07:04,945 --> 00:07:07,265
is being done here for all of them.
67
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:15,625
Eighty to 90 patients are in severe
or critical condition.
68
00:07:21,105 --> 00:07:25,905
We have all the conditions
to provide the best medical care
69
00:07:26,105 --> 00:07:27,785
at European standards.
70
00:07:31,305 --> 00:07:35,385
COLLECTIVE
71
00:07:41,385 --> 00:07:45,225
The identity of our sources
is sacred to us.
72
00:07:45,425 --> 00:07:47,705
- We wouldn't put anybody in danger.
- Right.
73
00:07:49,705 --> 00:07:50,865
What can I tell you...
74
00:07:51,345 --> 00:07:55,785
they were all killed
by various bacterial infections.
75
00:07:56,105 --> 00:07:58,545
The pyocyanic bacteria
are the most aggressive.
76
00:07:59,625 --> 00:08:02,065
That's what they are hiding.
77
00:08:02,864 --> 00:08:05,065
- Hospital infections?
- Yes.
78
00:08:05,305 --> 00:08:06,905
- So infections killed them?
- Yes.
79
00:08:08,144 --> 00:08:11,185
Did bacteria cause deaths
in other hospitals as well?
80
00:08:11,545 --> 00:08:15,825
Yes. Our hospitals are not safe
for burn patients.
81
00:08:17,345 --> 00:08:20,665
Once infected with this,
they don't stand a chance.
82
00:08:21,305 --> 00:08:25,345
- Really?
- Within only 48 hours, one of my patients
83
00:08:25,585 --> 00:08:26,745
was infected with two different bacteria.
84
00:08:28,185 --> 00:08:32,025
If we remain silent we are complicit.
85
00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:39,065
As doctors you can't be forced
to act against your conscience, right?
86
00:08:39,825 --> 00:08:41,385
Facts are facts,
87
00:08:41,985 --> 00:08:46,785
the burn patients were kept
in a known septic environment
88
00:08:47,225 --> 00:08:53,265
and exposed to some of the most resistant
hospital bacteria in Europe.
89
00:08:54,305 --> 00:08:56,025
That's a fact.
90
00:08:56,665 --> 00:08:59,625
Hospitals that could not treat
severe burn patients
91
00:08:59,865 --> 00:09:01,905
were forced to do it
92
00:09:02,225 --> 00:09:08,465
and the doctors had
to improvise on their treatment.
93
00:09:09,745 --> 00:09:15,745
Have you heard of any problems
with the disinfectants used in hospitals?
94
00:09:16,225 --> 00:09:18,825
That they were of poor quality?
95
00:09:27,265 --> 00:09:28,425
Look!
96
00:09:33,305 --> 00:09:36,665
When he brings the next bag
I'll move the car a bit.
97
00:09:37,385 --> 00:09:38,665
There's another one!
98
00:09:42,905 --> 00:09:44,305
Hexio-B.
99
00:09:46,105 --> 00:09:49,945
It's Hexio-B. I'll check labels
to see which is which.
100
00:09:50,945 --> 00:09:54,945
- See, they have different labels.
- One is black, one is white...
101
00:09:59,825 --> 00:10:03,265
- What is this?
- This is the Hexi Pharma factory.
102
00:10:03,545 --> 00:10:05,385
- Our sources' workplace?
- Yes.
103
00:10:05,585 --> 00:10:08,465
And they produce disinfectants
for 350 hospitals?
104
00:10:08,705 --> 00:10:10,345
That's the place, yes.
105
00:10:11,065 --> 00:10:12,225
Go on.
106
00:10:14,745 --> 00:10:18,145
- We took a photo of this guy...
- Skip that.
107
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:21,425
- Were they carrying disinfectants?
- Yes.
108
00:10:21,625 --> 00:10:22,865
They loaded them in this car.
109
00:10:23,105 --> 00:10:25,665
- Did you get the owner?
- Yes, we waited for hours.
110
00:10:25,945 --> 00:10:29,305
- This is the owner's car.
- A Porsche.
111
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:32,665
- Okay. Is that him inside?
- It's him.
112
00:10:33,505 --> 00:10:36,705
- A doctor.
- Let's see his face.
113
00:10:38,665 --> 00:10:44,425
After we took the first photos
I called the sources, "Is this the one?"
114
00:10:45,305 --> 00:10:47,265
They said it’s him. It's Dan Condrea.
115
00:10:48,225 --> 00:10:50,025
This is the guy.
116
00:11:04,225 --> 00:11:10,145
Okay. So here's the idea,
a Romanian producer
117
00:11:10,505 --> 00:11:14,945
provides hospitals with disinfectants...
118
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:19,105
that are diluted.
119
00:11:19,625 --> 00:11:22,865
Diluted to various degrees,
depending on the product.
120
00:11:23,385 --> 00:11:26,025
What did your first source say exactly?
121
00:11:26,305 --> 00:11:31,945
That the disinfectants' active ingredients
are diluted.
122
00:11:33,465 --> 00:11:37,585
- They don't match...
- Is that the first thing he said?
123
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:40,345
He showed me these production formulas
124
00:11:40,585 --> 00:11:42,745
and said "Take a look
at the active ingredients.
125
00:11:43,705 --> 00:11:47,985
We use 60 kg for 600 kg of disinfectant.
126
00:11:48,465 --> 00:11:51,705
That's ten percent.
Now, look at the label on the product.
127
00:11:51,985 --> 00:11:53,785
it says it contains 15 percent."
128
00:11:54,305 --> 00:11:55,865
Same for this one.
129
00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:04,305
Your source says the formula
wasn't changed
130
00:12:04,545 --> 00:12:07,985
- even after the fire at Colectiv?
- Yes, he said,
131
00:12:08,225 --> 00:12:10,665
"This isn't killing bacteria.
It's killing people."
132
00:12:11,065 --> 00:12:13,865
The second source said the same,
"I'm not a murderer.
133
00:12:14,345 --> 00:12:18,185
I have deaths on my conscience."
That's why he left the company.
134
00:12:21,305 --> 00:12:24,185
How did Hexi Pharma advertise?
135
00:12:24,945 --> 00:12:28,225
One thousand clients,
2,000 operating rooms, 140,000 hands...
136
00:12:29,465 --> 00:12:31,865
- Two thousand operating rooms?
- Yes.
137
00:12:32,105 --> 00:12:34,025
So, 2,000 operating rooms...
138
00:12:35,585 --> 00:12:38,025
are using diluted disinfectants.
139
00:12:42,025 --> 00:12:44,065
Could they be...
140
00:12:45,545 --> 00:12:48,665
so wicked as to feed us fake documents?
141
00:12:49,505 --> 00:12:54,505
I'll tell you what many readers
will ask...
142
00:12:56,505 --> 00:12:59,905
"Take the products to a lab,
have them tested."
143
00:13:29,785 --> 00:13:33,025
{\an8}ICHECHIM LABORATORY ANALYSIS DEPARTMENT
144
00:13:33,385 --> 00:13:36,665
I can't comment.
It's not my area of expertise...
145
00:13:36,945 --> 00:13:39,225
I understand, but it's frightening.
146
00:13:39,465 --> 00:13:43,985
...to say if these
disinfectants alone contributed...
147
00:13:46,345 --> 00:13:47,185
Well...
148
00:13:49,985 --> 00:13:52,865
- Should she sign for these results?
- No.
149
00:14:10,505 --> 00:14:15,345
CHEMISTRY AND LIFE
150
00:14:18,465 --> 00:14:21,385
I just don't get it.
How can they dilute it ten times?
151
00:14:21,625 --> 00:14:24,305
On the one hand
I wanted it confirmed...
152
00:14:24,585 --> 00:14:27,905
Do you realize we've all been exposed,
while in hospital?
153
00:14:30,625 --> 00:14:36,825
In the hospitals they dilute it again,
maybe also use it improperly.
154
00:14:37,185 --> 00:14:42,345
That's the thing,
they dilute it more than recommended.
155
00:14:42,625 --> 00:14:47,105
No wonder pyocyanic bacteria
were found in the sterilization tanks.
156
00:14:48,065 --> 00:14:49,105
Now I get it.
157
00:14:50,305 --> 00:14:55,625
The surgeon thinks it takes
30 minutes to disinfect the scalpel,
158
00:14:55,905 --> 00:14:59,545
but the cleaned scalpels
carry pyocyanic bacteria.
159
00:15:03,105 --> 00:15:05,305
Guys, we got them!
160
00:15:06,425 --> 00:15:10,585
Suprasept, for instance,
is diluted ten times.
161
00:15:10,945 --> 00:15:14,865
These are the substances
used in operating rooms.
162
00:15:15,545 --> 00:15:18,585
That's what the hospitals used
for the Colectiv fire victims.
163
00:15:18,905 --> 00:15:21,985
St. John's Hospital, Pantelimon Hospital,
the burn hospital,
164
00:15:22,305 --> 00:15:26,065
and where they were not used,
Hexi Pharma donated them.
165
00:15:39,025 --> 00:15:44,905
The Romanian state failed to ensure
the citizens' safety
166
00:15:45,225 --> 00:15:49,145
to the point where this madman,
or murderer, was allowed to...
167
00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,785
- Our first thought was to run the test!
- Exactly!
168
00:15:53,345 --> 00:15:56,065
It's the first thing that came to mind!
169
00:15:56,265 --> 00:16:00,825
Exactly, to see if what's on the label
matches what's in the bottle.
170
00:16:01,945 --> 00:16:05,465
And the state didn't even think
to verify it just once!
171
00:16:06,105 --> 00:16:09,985
To check on this madman,
who got into every hospital.
172
00:16:10,585 --> 00:16:15,425
Just once, to check this stuff
used by all hospitals!
173
00:16:23,025 --> 00:16:24,345
Let's split the pages.
174
00:16:24,624 --> 00:16:27,265
- Do you have a headache?
- No.
175
00:16:27,584 --> 00:16:29,385
Let's call the minister of health.
176
00:16:34,785 --> 00:16:37,625
- It's almost 6:00 p.m.
- Already?
177
00:16:42,825 --> 00:16:47,865
The Remorse of a Factory Employee
178
00:16:48,265 --> 00:16:51,025
Considering what we're about to publish,
179
00:16:51,305 --> 00:16:55,185
it's a problem
if the minister won't comment.
180
00:17:03,225 --> 00:17:07,545
Hexi Pharma signed 796 contracts with
various hospitals in the past nine years.
181
00:17:08,145 --> 00:17:11,865
Dear Minister,
I am Catalin Tolontan, journalist.
182
00:17:12,185 --> 00:17:18,145
We need your statement on the discovery...
183
00:17:26,785 --> 00:17:28,585
The state didn't do anything.
184
00:17:32,665 --> 00:17:35,625
DISINFECTANT DILUTED TEN TIMES!
185
00:18:02,705 --> 00:18:05,545
We are back live.
186
00:18:05,865 --> 00:18:09,745
The Ministry of Health
will begin to examine
187
00:18:09,985 --> 00:18:12,825
disinfectants used in hospitals,
188
00:18:12,985 --> 00:18:17,225
after the Sports Gazette's
investigation revealed
189
00:18:17,625 --> 00:18:21,345
that two products
used to disinfect operation rooms
190
00:18:21,705 --> 00:18:25,225
were diluted up to ten times.
191
00:18:26,785 --> 00:18:29,465
Biological bomb in Romanian hospitals.
192
00:18:29,705 --> 00:18:32,785
Disinfectants used in thousands
of operating rooms are ineffective.
193
00:18:32,985 --> 00:18:36,825
The minister of health can't explain
and has just begun investigating.
194
00:18:37,145 --> 00:18:39,065
I have ordered investigations
195
00:18:39,305 --> 00:18:42,465
by public health departments
across the country.
196
00:18:42,905 --> 00:18:46,545
A total of 208 hospitals were controlled.
197
00:18:46,865 --> 00:18:50,385
Samples were taken from nightstands,
headboards and hallways.
198
00:18:50,585 --> 00:18:53,385
Suspicion is directed
at Hexi Pharma products
199
00:18:53,545 --> 00:18:58,105
after journalist Catalin Tolontan
stated they were defective.
200
00:19:10,425 --> 00:19:15,145
When the fire started,
the crowd ran towards the exit.
201
00:19:15,385 --> 00:19:18,385
Desperate to escape,
people trampled on each other.
202
00:19:18,625 --> 00:19:22,905
Following the Colectiv fire,
64 people lost their lives.
203
00:19:29,745 --> 00:19:33,105
Next to me is journalist Catalin Tolontan,
204
00:19:33,345 --> 00:19:36,905
who investigated this tragedy
205
00:19:37,385 --> 00:19:40,345
that led to a change of government.
206
00:19:41,225 --> 00:19:43,545
I have this document...
207
00:19:44,345 --> 00:19:48,825
to show to the audience
of the public television.
208
00:19:49,145 --> 00:19:50,425
This number here,
209
00:19:50,865 --> 00:19:53,665
1.17 percent is the concentration
of the active ingredient
210
00:19:53,865 --> 00:19:54,945
in the disinfectant.
211
00:19:55,505 --> 00:20:00,265
The label says it should contain
12 percent. It is diluted ten times.
212
00:20:00,505 --> 00:20:04,985
And we face the most
dangerous hospital bacteria in Europe.
213
00:20:05,345 --> 00:20:08,465
Clearly, it was
an institutional lie at state level
214
00:20:08,665 --> 00:20:11,665
propagated through all
communication channels,
215
00:20:12,025 --> 00:20:13,865
that everything was done perfectly,
216
00:20:14,065 --> 00:20:17,785
that hospital conditions were ideal,
"like in Germany".
217
00:20:18,305 --> 00:20:20,585
That was the statement, "like in Germany".
218
00:20:21,945 --> 00:20:24,505
We have blindly trusted the authorities.
219
00:20:25,025 --> 00:20:28,345
Myself included, as a journalist.
I've said this many times,
220
00:20:28,545 --> 00:20:34,465
when the press bows down
to the authorities,
221
00:20:34,705 --> 00:20:37,025
the authorities will mistreat
the citizens.
222
00:20:37,305 --> 00:20:41,145
This always happens, worldwide,
and it has happened to us.
223
00:20:44,065 --> 00:20:50,265
MINISTRY OF HEALTH
224
00:20:59,025 --> 00:21:00,385
Good afternoon, Minister.
225
00:21:01,985 --> 00:21:03,385
Good afternoon.
226
00:21:09,425 --> 00:21:11,585
Our main...
227
00:21:12,785 --> 00:21:17,425
Our main responsibility
is the safety of our patients.
228
00:21:18,545 --> 00:21:22,625
It is our duty to investigate
any suspected threat
229
00:21:22,865 --> 00:21:26,465
to our patients' safety.
230
00:21:27,785 --> 00:21:32,145
In this context, I will present
the sanitation test results.
231
00:21:32,785 --> 00:21:37,065
We have tested surfaces, hands and objects
232
00:21:37,505 --> 00:21:39,785
to determine if the product
233
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:43,105
was effective
in destroying microorganisms.
234
00:21:44,185 --> 00:21:47,105
In over 95 percent of cases...
235
00:21:48,145 --> 00:21:51,985
it appeared they tested well.
236
00:21:52,545 --> 00:21:55,945
Less than five percent failed the test.
237
00:21:56,545 --> 00:22:01,065
Given the circumstances
and the measures we've taken...
238
00:22:01,905 --> 00:22:07,025
I consider that our patients
are in no danger at this moment.
239
00:22:07,545 --> 00:22:11,265
We still don't have an answer
240
00:22:11,465 --> 00:22:15,585
regarding the concentration
of active ingredients in disinfectants.
241
00:22:15,785 --> 00:22:18,305
The investigation is ongoing.
242
00:22:18,865 --> 00:22:22,105
For people to feel safe,
you should announce the measures taken
243
00:22:22,385 --> 00:22:24,745
in the hospitals
where tests revealed problems.
244
00:22:25,025 --> 00:22:28,465
We took all the measures,
according to the law.
245
00:22:28,745 --> 00:22:31,025
For what bacteria
were the disinfectant tested?
246
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:35,065
- Which bacteria get killed by them?
- We don't test for bacteria.
247
00:22:35,265 --> 00:22:40,385
We test if anything grows
after the disinfection.
248
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:44,105
- Not "anything", sorry!
- Here's a paper that says otherwise.
249
00:22:44,385 --> 00:22:46,625
Received today from the Bucharest
Public Health Department.
250
00:22:46,865 --> 00:22:49,905
It says here that nine Bucharest hospitals
251
00:22:50,265 --> 00:22:52,945
conducted tests in their labs
252
00:22:53,465 --> 00:22:57,305
and only tested for four bacteria.
253
00:22:58,305 --> 00:23:04,625
The procedure was the following,
hospitals staff made their own inspection.
254
00:23:04,985 --> 00:23:06,225
Let me be clear.
255
00:23:06,625 --> 00:23:09,905
These tests are objective
and backed by evidence...
256
00:23:10,145 --> 00:23:14,665
- Still very subjective!
- Maybe, but backed by evidence
257
00:23:14,945 --> 00:23:17,825
as all tests were done by accredited labs.
258
00:23:18,345 --> 00:23:21,425
These tests were conducted
by the same people,
259
00:23:21,945 --> 00:23:24,385
suspected of professional misconduct.
260
00:23:24,625 --> 00:23:27,305
The people who purchased
these disinfectants
261
00:23:27,505 --> 00:23:30,785
without any quality control.
262
00:23:31,265 --> 00:23:36,225
They and they alone
are accredited to do this.
263
00:23:36,625 --> 00:23:40,385
Should we bring extra-terrestrials
to run the tests, dear sir?
264
00:23:52,945 --> 00:23:54,865
Until proven guilty...
265
00:23:55,505 --> 00:23:58,585
I cannot make accusations
266
00:23:58,785 --> 00:24:04,305
against any company.
I can't use as evidence
267
00:24:04,545 --> 00:24:09,505
tests that were done by unaccredited labs.
268
00:24:09,825 --> 00:24:14,105
- So it's a fake crisis?
- Let's not call it a "crisis".
269
00:24:15,145 --> 00:24:18,625
Such a press campaign
won't solve the problem.
270
00:24:18,985 --> 00:24:24,305
The disinfectants are effective
in 95 percent of cases.
271
00:24:24,625 --> 00:24:27,825
For the remaining five percent
I have ordered measures
272
00:24:28,105 --> 00:24:33,065
which will ensure our patients' safety.
273
00:25:58,905 --> 00:26:05,225
It doesn't match.
The ICU death rate is at 90 percent
274
00:26:05,545 --> 00:26:09,105
because of hospital infections.
275
00:26:20,225 --> 00:26:23,305
Catalin Tolontan
from the Sports Gazette speaking.
276
00:26:24,025 --> 00:26:28,145
You probably know why I'm calling.
277
00:26:28,425 --> 00:26:31,905
It's about the problems
with biocides used in hospitals.
278
00:26:34,585 --> 00:26:36,585
Their dilution, and more.
279
00:26:37,705 --> 00:26:41,145
I know you discussed this
280
00:26:41,865 --> 00:26:46,705
with Intelligence Service agents.
281
00:26:47,065 --> 00:26:49,585
And they knew about it.
282
00:26:51,785 --> 00:26:55,345
If it's confidential, I'll respect that.
283
00:27:00,545 --> 00:27:04,945
A long time ago, yes.
Around ten years ago, right?
284
00:27:16,905 --> 00:27:20,185
Do you remember
how the Intelligence Service reacted
285
00:27:20,345 --> 00:27:22,905
to what you told them ten years ago?
286
00:27:31,305 --> 00:27:35,705
Several colleagues are working on it.
We're doing our best.
287
00:27:36,705 --> 00:27:38,665
Yes, that's true.
288
00:27:39,465 --> 00:27:44,385
Thank you very much, Professor.
Have a nice evening.
289
00:27:50,585 --> 00:27:51,985
Mirela!
290
00:28:04,225 --> 00:28:05,585
Did he admit it?
291
00:28:14,945 --> 00:28:16,145
There's this man...
292
00:28:19,345 --> 00:28:25,065
who's given the Intelligence Service
dozens of briefings since 2008.
293
00:28:26,345 --> 00:28:29,065
Along with thousands of pages
of documentation.
294
00:28:29,505 --> 00:28:33,585
He sent us a few dozen,
and sent them thousands, over the years.
295
00:28:34,225 --> 00:28:36,385
He was contacted first by two agents...
296
00:28:38,025 --> 00:28:43,865
and later on by their pharma experts.
297
00:28:44,265 --> 00:28:47,225
At some point he had to tell them,
298
00:28:47,505 --> 00:28:50,465
"We've been talking for years
and you never did anything."
299
00:28:50,705 --> 00:28:54,025
They told him that their reports
got stuck somewhere.
300
00:28:54,825 --> 00:28:56,185
"Where?"
301
00:28:56,385 --> 00:28:58,425
They wouldn't tell him
if inside or outside the Service.
302
00:28:58,665 --> 00:29:03,265
Even before publishing
we wondered if the Service knew about it.
303
00:29:03,505 --> 00:29:06,585
This man was telling them for eight years
304
00:29:06,825 --> 00:29:08,865
that it's murder,
that it kills people in hospitals.
305
00:29:09,065 --> 00:29:12,025
- Do you think people understand this?
- Yes!
306
00:29:12,305 --> 00:29:17,305
If a loved one died or suffered from this,
you'd go crazy.
307
00:29:19,785 --> 00:29:24,265
The story is so mind-blowing,
I am afraid we'll look crazy.
308
00:29:24,585 --> 00:29:26,265
Why should we look crazy?
309
00:29:32,105 --> 00:29:35,745
I told them it was a disaster,
it was killing people.
310
00:29:39,545 --> 00:29:43,105
Intelligence issued 100 briefings
"including on hospital infections"
311
00:29:43,865 --> 00:29:46,625
Briefing sent to the Intelligence Service
312
00:29:48,185 --> 00:29:51,025
Intelligence Service knew
about the diluted Hexi products
313
00:29:51,305 --> 00:29:53,945
and the rigged tender.
314
00:29:54,745 --> 00:29:58,305
It's fine. Let me send you one more thing.
315
00:30:03,385 --> 00:30:06,985
Healthcare for all! Not just for mobsters!
316
00:30:07,225 --> 00:30:10,865
Healthcare for all! Not just for mobsters!
317
00:30:11,145 --> 00:30:14,585
I AM THE 5%
#CORRUPTIONKILLS
318
00:30:14,865 --> 00:30:20,825
Respect to the Romanian journalists
who remained honest!
319
00:30:21,145 --> 00:30:27,145
Applause for the journalists
who uncovered this story!
320
00:30:30,465 --> 00:30:35,465
Tolontan! Tolontan! Tolontan!
321
00:30:35,825 --> 00:30:39,545
Tolontan! Tolontan! Tolontan!
322
00:30:39,785 --> 00:30:44,105
The best investigations
are made by a sports daily!
323
00:30:44,345 --> 00:30:46,585
That's the state of our press.
324
00:30:46,905 --> 00:30:51,385
- Indifference...
- ...kills!
325
00:30:56,545 --> 00:31:00,385
Dilute corruption! Dilute corruption!
326
00:31:00,545 --> 00:31:06,665
Resign! Resign! Resign! Resign!
327
00:31:11,585 --> 00:31:16,665
The Intelligence Service confirms
that between 2011-2016
328
00:31:16,945 --> 00:31:21,505
they sent 115 briefings
regarding hospital infections.
329
00:31:21,785 --> 00:31:28,105
The documents mentioned
poor-quality disinfectants
330
00:31:28,305 --> 00:31:31,025
used in hospitals nationwide.
331
00:31:31,465 --> 00:31:33,945
The briefings were sent to the president,
332
00:31:34,145 --> 00:31:36,225
the prime minister,
to health ministers...
333
00:31:37,385 --> 00:31:41,665
Following street protests
and the tense healthcare situation,
334
00:31:41,865 --> 00:31:46,185
the prime minister
called in the healthcare management
335
00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:51,425
and stated that healthcare is now
the government's number one priority.
336
00:31:51,785 --> 00:31:53,865
We are waiting for the conclusions
on today's meeting.
337
00:31:54,065 --> 00:31:56,905
State secretaries
from the Ministry of Health
338
00:31:57,145 --> 00:32:00,385
and the defense minister
arrived a short while ago.
339
00:32:09,905 --> 00:32:16,545
This morning I talked
to Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos.
340
00:32:17,425 --> 00:32:19,665
Our different perspectives
341
00:32:20,025 --> 00:32:24,185
has led to my decision to resign.
342
00:32:26,145 --> 00:32:28,585
I am part of the healthcare system...
343
00:32:29,705 --> 00:32:32,025
and I want the system to improve.
344
00:32:33,145 --> 00:32:38,945
I have put all my good intentions into it.
345
00:32:40,064 --> 00:32:42,345
- Thank you.
- Minister, no questions?
346
00:32:42,585 --> 00:32:44,065
Goodbye and good luck!
347
00:32:44,625 --> 00:32:47,345
This government had promised a dialogue!
348
00:32:51,265 --> 00:32:53,985
His problems were clear from the start.
349
00:32:54,385 --> 00:32:59,825
He was a hospital manager
before he was minister.
350
00:33:00,225 --> 00:33:05,305
His actions and decisions as minister
were contaminated
351
00:33:05,585 --> 00:33:08,345
by his memories as manager of a hospital
352
00:33:08,745 --> 00:33:13,585
that used Hexi Pharma products.
That's not a crime as such,
353
00:33:14,025 --> 00:33:16,865
as they are used by 350 hospitals.
354
00:33:17,505 --> 00:33:22,905
The police have started investigations
at three Hexi Pharma facilities.
355
00:33:23,425 --> 00:33:26,025
Dan Condrea, the owner of Hexi Pharma,
356
00:33:26,385 --> 00:33:28,745
came personally to open the doors
for the police.
357
00:33:29,265 --> 00:33:34,185
Will you cooperate with the police?
358
00:33:37,025 --> 00:33:39,065
No comment?
359
00:33:51,745 --> 00:33:54,505
The offshore company is called Hatom Ltd.
360
00:33:54,785 --> 00:33:59,305
When I get the data from Cyprus,
I'm sure I'll find him or his wife.
361
00:34:03,865 --> 00:34:05,025
Look here!
362
00:34:05,825 --> 00:34:09,105
Represented by Dan Alexandru Condrea.
Fuck him!
363
00:34:09,505 --> 00:34:11,465
He can't hide that it's his.
364
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:15,105
Fine. We also got hold of...
365
00:34:15,425 --> 00:34:18,825
- These are bank statements from Cyprus.
- Yes, his bank statements.
366
00:34:20,105 --> 00:34:22,985
I know how to get more of these.
367
00:34:23,905 --> 00:34:26,545
- Do you also have cash withdrawals?
- We have all we need.
368
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,785
- Then you'd see the flow of money.
- We have enough.
369
00:34:31,905 --> 00:34:34,025
We have evidence
370
00:34:34,345 --> 00:34:37,425
that he buys his ingredients
at seven times the price.
371
00:34:37,865 --> 00:34:40,465
His offshore company buys at market price
372
00:34:40,785 --> 00:34:43,225
and sells the ingredients
for seven times more to Hexi Pharma.
373
00:34:43,745 --> 00:34:47,265
- They overcharge Hexi.
- Yes.
374
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:51,705
And he moves money offshore
and can use it for bribes.
375
00:34:52,065 --> 00:34:54,585
Classic offshore fraud scheme.
376
00:34:54,825 --> 00:34:56,825
Yes, the offshore company
gets the big money.
377
00:34:57,185 --> 00:34:59,785
Black money he uses to bribe
the health system,
378
00:35:00,065 --> 00:35:02,025
for business advantages.
379
00:35:02,385 --> 00:35:05,945
Speaking of bribes,
we need to figure this out.
380
00:35:06,305 --> 00:35:12,865
Out of 100 epidemiologists,
80 were in his pocket!
381
00:35:16,025 --> 00:35:17,905
We are back live.
382
00:35:18,105 --> 00:35:21,305
Dan Alexandru Condrea,
the owner of Hexi Pharma,
383
00:35:21,705 --> 00:35:23,345
arrived
at the General Prosecutor's office.
384
00:35:25,425 --> 00:35:29,425
Did your company dilute the disinfectants?
385
00:35:30,145 --> 00:35:34,145
Dan Alexandru Condrea
entering the Prosecutor's Office.
386
00:35:34,385 --> 00:35:36,145
A criminal investigation is underway
387
00:35:36,385 --> 00:35:39,745
regarding
the probably diluted disinfectants
388
00:35:40,145 --> 00:35:42,665
used in Romanian hospitals.
389
00:35:43,345 --> 00:35:45,225
The investigation...
390
00:35:57,065 --> 00:36:01,625
Tests for Hexi Pharma disinfectants
will be ready tomorrow.
391
00:36:02,065 --> 00:36:06,385
The government ran the tests
at ICECHIM, the only specialized lab,
392
00:36:06,705 --> 00:36:08,625
which, however, is not accredited.
393
00:36:24,065 --> 00:36:25,065
Good afternoon.
394
00:36:25,905 --> 00:36:29,265
We will announce the first set of results.
395
00:36:29,665 --> 00:36:34,505
Discrepancies were noted
between the declared concentration
396
00:36:34,905 --> 00:36:39,345
and the measured concentration.
397
00:36:39,665 --> 00:36:42,465
For instance, Glutaraldehyde
398
00:36:43,185 --> 00:36:48,105
measured 1.23 percent
instead of the declared 12 percent.
399
00:36:48,545 --> 00:36:53,985
Iodine measured 7.41 percent
instead of the declared ten percent
400
00:36:54,305 --> 00:36:57,545
concentration in active ingredients.
401
00:36:58,585 --> 00:37:05,065
This basically applies
to all Hexi Pharma disinfectants.
402
00:37:06,785 --> 00:37:09,145
Please use the microphone.
403
00:37:11,065 --> 00:37:12,625
Catalin Tolontan from the Sports Gazette.
404
00:37:12,865 --> 00:37:16,785
How many of the tested disinfectants
are diluted?
405
00:37:17,505 --> 00:37:19,465
All of them.
406
00:37:19,985 --> 00:37:22,465
- All are diluted?
- Yes.
407
00:37:22,905 --> 00:37:25,545
Every tested product.
408
00:37:26,065 --> 00:37:29,345
- Again, all products are diluted?
- Yes.
409
00:37:29,705 --> 00:37:34,425
Could you then explain the five percent
410
00:37:35,145 --> 00:37:39,345
announced last week
by the minister of health?
411
00:37:39,665 --> 00:37:43,625
That's an entirely different topic,
the five percent.
412
00:37:43,945 --> 00:37:48,185
- Look, I'm not an epidemiologist...
- But you are a doctor.
413
00:37:48,545 --> 00:37:51,505
I'm asking you as a doctor,
not as state secretary.
414
00:37:51,905 --> 00:37:54,985
Could 14 diluted products...
415
00:37:55,905 --> 00:38:00,225
possibly be 95 percent efficient,
in sanitation tests?
416
00:38:00,985 --> 00:38:05,425
Sanitation tests reveal bacteria
remaining on hands and surfaces
417
00:38:05,705 --> 00:38:07,825
that had been cleaned...
418
00:38:08,065 --> 00:38:09,865
- With Hexi Pharma!
- No.
419
00:38:10,145 --> 00:38:12,705
- Oh, yes!
- Will you let me finish?
420
00:38:13,145 --> 00:38:15,865
Cleaned with a disinfectant.
421
00:38:16,185 --> 00:38:20,865
So these 14 products that are all diluted,
422
00:38:21,145 --> 00:38:24,665
were found 95 percent efficient
in sanitation tests.
423
00:38:24,905 --> 00:38:29,745
We ran chemical tests,
not sanitation tests,
424
00:38:29,985 --> 00:38:31,625
and the results were bad.
425
00:38:32,265 --> 00:38:36,905
Any correlation with what happened before
426
00:38:37,225 --> 00:38:42,705
is as irrelevant
as talking about previous tests.
427
00:38:43,225 --> 00:38:46,345
What were the risks for the patient
428
00:38:46,705 --> 00:38:50,585
if a surgeon's hands were disinfected
with this product?
429
00:38:50,865 --> 00:38:53,985
If the active ingredient
was supposed to be 25 percent
430
00:38:54,225 --> 00:38:56,625
but this test shows it's 0.01 percent.
431
00:38:57,425 --> 00:39:01,385
There is some risk
but we don't operate without gloves.
432
00:39:03,065 --> 00:39:05,265
When you picked up the results,
433
00:39:05,505 --> 00:39:10,025
- how did you feel, as a doctor?
- Let's not talk feelings here.
434
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:11,545
How does a doctor react to this?
435
00:39:11,825 --> 00:39:16,505
We have stated our position
without involving emotions.
436
00:39:16,785 --> 00:39:19,505
Thank you for your attention.
437
00:39:19,825 --> 00:39:24,945
Once we have new information
or new decisions,
438
00:39:25,185 --> 00:39:27,905
we'll let you know.
439
00:39:31,145 --> 00:39:35,865
We hope the prosecutors
will call to account those responsible.
440
00:39:36,425 --> 00:39:40,505
Starting with the diluted disinfectants.
441
00:39:40,905 --> 00:39:46,385
Our healthcare system
is "diluting" public money
442
00:39:46,745 --> 00:39:50,585
into invisible pockets
443
00:39:50,825 --> 00:39:55,825
and they cover up for each other
while patients are suffering.
444
00:39:56,265 --> 00:39:58,945
When moderating comments,
445
00:39:59,225 --> 00:40:02,185
remove "let's hang them"
and "shoot them all" and such.
446
00:40:02,425 --> 00:40:04,865
If they say "it's genocide," no problem,
447
00:40:05,585 --> 00:40:07,785
but let's not incite violence, please!
448
00:40:08,065 --> 00:40:10,705
A lot of comments will be like
"kill them, skin them alive!"
449
00:40:36,425 --> 00:40:40,505
This could be suicide
or just a car crash
450
00:40:40,665 --> 00:40:46,145
that killed Condrea,
the owner of Hexi Pharma.
451
00:40:46,305 --> 00:40:50,825
Murder is however not ruled out.
452
00:40:55,065 --> 00:40:56,305
Please, move back!
453
00:40:57,505 --> 00:41:01,505
- Move back and film from over there.
- Is the investigation over?
454
00:41:01,745 --> 00:41:03,345
If not, why did you remove the car?
455
00:41:04,585 --> 00:41:09,825
It was difficult,
as the body was disfigured.
456
00:41:10,465 --> 00:41:16,945
His ID was found in the car,
but his wife had to identify the body.
457
00:41:22,825 --> 00:41:28,425
I don't know.
We knew he was under surveillance.
458
00:41:33,465 --> 00:41:36,185
- I changed the title for the blog.
- Okay.
459
00:41:39,145 --> 00:41:42,185
His ex-wife declared,
"He wasn't the type to kill himself,
460
00:41:42,705 --> 00:41:49,265
rather the type to kill someone.
If it's suicide, they pushed him."
461
00:41:50,545 --> 00:41:54,865
CONDREA DEAD!
HIS SECRETS ARE OUR WOUNDS!
462
00:41:58,505 --> 00:42:00,145
Yes, Mirela.
463
00:42:02,665 --> 00:42:04,185
Everybody's gone crazy.
464
00:42:04,425 --> 00:42:07,505
They all believe
the mafia state killed him.
465
00:42:15,025 --> 00:42:17,505
Why the hell was he still free?
466
00:42:17,785 --> 00:42:22,865
We're not the only ones,
everyone's asking!
467
00:42:23,105 --> 00:42:26,705
They only had to nail Condrea
to make him talk,
468
00:42:26,945 --> 00:42:31,065
get him to confess
and demand a list of 50 accomplices...
469
00:42:32,505 --> 00:42:34,585
who he bribed within the health system.
470
00:42:35,345 --> 00:42:37,305
- And offer him a deal.
- Exactly.
471
00:42:56,145 --> 00:43:00,065
Is there any source we haven't called,
anyone who might know something?
472
00:43:11,825 --> 00:43:13,145
That's right,
just squeeze it right underneath it.
473
00:43:13,265 --> 00:43:14,745
It will come through the leg, so...
474
00:43:16,585 --> 00:43:19,825
And just lift it up slightly.
And open.
475
00:43:21,785 --> 00:43:23,065
Then rise up.
476
00:43:23,425 --> 00:43:24,905
- Yeah.
- And that's it.
477
00:43:31,825 --> 00:43:33,025
You doing that?
478
00:43:34,265 --> 00:43:35,305
Yeah.
479
00:43:36,265 --> 00:43:38,065
So you can just move your thumb round.
480
00:43:38,625 --> 00:43:39,865
Position it. Yep.
481
00:43:40,185 --> 00:43:41,185
Keep it open.
482
00:43:41,665 --> 00:43:43,385
And don't...
No, keep it open and relaxed.
483
00:43:45,985 --> 00:43:48,705
Okay. I'll let you move forward
and just practice.
484
00:43:57,625 --> 00:43:58,585
Good girl.
485
00:43:58,745 --> 00:43:59,785
Good.
486
00:44:01,665 --> 00:44:02,665
Mom...
487
00:44:03,345 --> 00:44:04,465
Hello.
488
00:44:07,225 --> 00:44:08,305
That's it.
489
00:44:09,545 --> 00:44:10,625
My mom is crying.
490
00:44:10,745 --> 00:44:14,145
I was gonna say, it will be emotional
for your mum to see.
491
00:44:39,985 --> 00:44:41,745
Good afternoon. I am Vlad.
492
00:44:42,145 --> 00:44:46,025
As of Friday afternoon,
I am minister of health.
493
00:44:48,025 --> 00:44:50,385
Thank you for being here.
494
00:44:51,145 --> 00:44:55,345
I've known many of you
for quite some time.
495
00:44:56,145 --> 00:45:01,305
From back when I was
a patients' rights activist.
496
00:45:02,785 --> 00:45:06,825
I am now in charge of this system
which undoubtedly needs improvement.
497
00:45:07,425 --> 00:45:12,745
To make it more truthful,
more transparent and more solid,
498
00:45:13,065 --> 00:45:15,225
I'll need your support.
499
00:45:15,905 --> 00:45:22,065
I'll need allies. The first thing to do
in order to regain trust
500
00:45:22,505 --> 00:45:24,145
is to stop lying.
501
00:45:26,265 --> 00:45:29,985
When will we see test results
for other brands?
502
00:45:30,345 --> 00:45:35,945
We will perform sanitation tests
on all disinfectants used in hospitals.
503
00:45:36,465 --> 00:45:40,505
The results will be made public
immediately.
504
00:45:40,785 --> 00:45:43,865
Two weeks ago,
the state secretary for health
505
00:45:44,225 --> 00:45:48,705
publicly promised to test the composition
506
00:45:48,945 --> 00:45:51,865
of other disinfectant brands.
507
00:45:52,105 --> 00:45:54,945
For Hexi Pharma,
hospitals made their own sanitation tests
508
00:45:55,185 --> 00:45:56,585
and all results were good.
509
00:45:57,145 --> 00:45:59,665
And now you're starting
sanitation tests again?
510
00:46:00,625 --> 00:46:03,905
The same inspection that failed before?
511
00:46:04,905 --> 00:46:05,985
Well...
512
00:46:08,265 --> 00:46:12,305
Some legal issues need to be clarified
513
00:46:12,585 --> 00:46:17,225
for the sanitation inspection
to be truly relevant.
514
00:46:18,465 --> 00:46:20,705
In a few days,
once this problem is solved,
515
00:46:21,225 --> 00:46:22,905
I will give you further details.
516
00:46:23,865 --> 00:46:27,985
"Germs spread in three ways
517
00:46:28,305 --> 00:46:30,905
as regards hospital infections.
518
00:46:34,625 --> 00:46:38,065
This one is personal hygiene
and environment.
519
00:46:40,545 --> 00:46:43,465
Under Council of Europe recommendations,
520
00:46:43,745 --> 00:46:46,785
every three to four years,
member states must report
521
00:46:47,025 --> 00:46:48,905
on the hospital infections situation."
522
00:46:49,225 --> 00:46:52,305
We have reported it, it was deplorable.
523
00:46:52,865 --> 00:46:54,465
The most deplorable in the EU?
524
00:46:55,185 --> 00:46:57,905
The estimated death toll
is 12,000 per year.
525
00:46:58,425 --> 00:46:59,745
Just the reported ones.
526
00:46:59,905 --> 00:47:03,705
Many patients leave hospitals
carrying the bacteria,
527
00:47:03,985 --> 00:47:05,465
but without symptoms.
528
00:47:07,625 --> 00:47:10,225
Want to read this?
The lady is waiting outside for an answer.
529
00:47:11,225 --> 00:47:13,905
My goodness! Yes.
530
00:47:16,945 --> 00:47:18,265
Should she wait?
531
00:47:19,105 --> 00:47:21,745
Give me until tomorrow.
532
00:47:30,345 --> 00:47:31,865
Tolontan wrote...
533
00:47:32,705 --> 00:47:35,865
"On some questions,
Minister I-am-Vlad simply screwed up."
534
00:47:37,785 --> 00:47:39,305
Don't mind him.
535
00:47:56,425 --> 00:48:03,025
I think tonight
we don't have to mince words
536
00:48:03,385 --> 00:48:09,065
on this widely publicized topic,
the biggest scandal of the past years.
537
00:48:09,265 --> 00:48:12,745
Let's also discuss the investigations
of the health system.
538
00:48:13,025 --> 00:48:14,585
Hexi Pharma was no accident.
539
00:48:15,145 --> 00:48:19,065
In other words, could they have done it
by themselves, alone?
540
00:48:20,505 --> 00:48:23,265
For instance, at the Municipal Hospital
in Craiova,
541
00:48:23,545 --> 00:48:25,585
manager Alice Gavrila
542
00:48:26,105 --> 00:48:30,545
bought 180 litres of Suprasept
at 28 Lei per litre
543
00:48:30,945 --> 00:48:36,105
and 1010 litres of the same disinfectant
practically, six times more,
544
00:48:36,545 --> 00:48:41,785
at 38 Lei per litre.
So when she buys more, the price goes up.
545
00:48:43,025 --> 00:48:47,345
We can't just ignore these facts.
We're talking about a system.
546
00:48:47,785 --> 00:48:52,145
Do you think it was possible
for Condrea to bribe...
547
00:48:52,345 --> 00:48:55,025
Not Condrea personally,
the system he created.
548
00:48:55,225 --> 00:48:58,905
- Okay, his team, whatever.
- Yes, it was possible.
549
00:48:59,185 --> 00:49:01,985
Was it possible to bribe
300 hospital managers?
550
00:49:02,185 --> 00:49:04,745
Managers and staff handling acquisitions.
551
00:49:04,985 --> 00:49:08,025
- More than 300 people?
- Absolutely!
552
00:49:08,225 --> 00:49:11,945
- Why else is there panic now?
- What panic?
553
00:49:12,505 --> 00:49:15,345
Panic in hospitals.
Panic of hospital managers.
554
00:49:15,585 --> 00:49:19,105
You are always very vehement.
555
00:49:19,705 --> 00:49:22,865
Vehement and accusing.
556
00:49:23,185 --> 00:49:26,385
When the whole country becomes hysterical
557
00:49:26,665 --> 00:49:31,745
and people refuse to enter hospitals,
afraid of infections,
558
00:49:32,025 --> 00:49:36,345
when someone commits suicide
because of this intense context...
559
00:49:36,705 --> 00:49:38,905
- So you know why Condrea killed himself?
- Sorry?
560
00:49:39,305 --> 00:49:42,505
- You know why Condrea killed himself?
- I suppose he was depressed.
561
00:49:43,705 --> 00:49:46,585
Trying to place blame for a suicide,
562
00:49:46,785 --> 00:49:49,985
an act so intimately related
to a person's inner state,
563
00:49:50,225 --> 00:49:51,745
that is hard to know...
564
00:49:52,585 --> 00:49:56,985
A press investigation
has sent a man to his grave.
565
00:49:57,305 --> 00:50:00,865
No, it wasn't the investigation
that killed him.
566
00:50:01,065 --> 00:50:03,745
This is a distorted interpretation
567
00:50:04,265 --> 00:50:08,345
of an act too painful and intimate
568
00:50:08,585 --> 00:50:11,345
to be judged by others.
569
00:50:11,665 --> 00:50:15,065
- If you are blaming us for his suicide...
- I didn't.
570
00:50:15,385 --> 00:50:18,345
- You said the press investigation...
- The pressure.
571
00:50:18,745 --> 00:50:22,785
Maybe he felt guilty for experimenting
on 300 Romanian hospitals.
572
00:50:23,145 --> 00:50:25,105
The company has been doing this
573
00:50:25,305 --> 00:50:27,665
from the beginning,
not for just two-three years.
574
00:50:29,225 --> 00:50:32,585
What they did has a name,
it's called an experiment.
575
00:50:32,905 --> 00:50:36,385
In science, this is called an experiment.
576
00:50:36,745 --> 00:50:41,825
But it's done in a laboratory,
not nationwide in 300 hospitals
577
00:50:42,145 --> 00:50:46,105
risking the lives
of 3.8 million patients every year.
578
00:50:46,305 --> 00:50:47,505
Let's recap.
579
00:50:49,185 --> 00:50:54,985
All you write about the health system
is terrifying.
580
00:50:55,265 --> 00:50:56,465
What's your goal?
581
00:50:56,985 --> 00:51:00,105
My son was my first critic,
using almost the same words
582
00:51:00,385 --> 00:51:03,585
about my reports on the Colectiv tragedy.
583
00:51:04,065 --> 00:51:06,425
"Let the doctors do their job
and don't disturb them
584
00:51:06,705 --> 00:51:11,945
- with such disclosures."
- What did you answer your child?
585
00:51:12,105 --> 00:51:14,945
That it's my profession,
however disturbing.
586
00:51:15,385 --> 00:51:19,265
Two months later, my own conclusion
587
00:51:19,465 --> 00:51:23,385
was that our silence during
the first days after the fire
588
00:51:23,865 --> 00:51:26,145
allowed the authorities to lie to us.
589
00:51:26,705 --> 00:51:30,785
There is no final goal, I think,
in this profession.
590
00:51:31,345 --> 00:51:32,865
All I'm trying
591
00:51:33,385 --> 00:51:37,345
is to give people,
after this discussion tonight,
592
00:51:37,905 --> 00:51:40,265
more knowledge
593
00:51:40,745 --> 00:51:45,145
about the powers
that shape our lives.
594
00:51:50,025 --> 00:51:51,825
If the prosecutor is investigating Hexi,
595
00:51:52,025 --> 00:51:53,825
why do we still have
to test Hexi products?
596
00:51:54,345 --> 00:51:58,505
I have a clear answer,
Hexi is still on the market.
597
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:02,465
It's temporarily blocked
in hospital storehouses...
598
00:52:02,625 --> 00:52:05,785
We still have Hexi Pharma products
in hospitals.
599
00:52:06,105 --> 00:52:09,305
- But for a different reason.
- Because we can't test them.
600
00:52:09,505 --> 00:52:13,865
- It's unacceptable! The state...
- You're jumping to conclusions!
601
00:52:14,065 --> 00:52:20,345
They can't be withdrawn because by law
only the company can withdraw the products
602
00:52:20,665 --> 00:52:24,385
but the company can't issue
corrective invoices
603
00:52:24,665 --> 00:52:27,505
because the court blocked
its bank accounts.
604
00:52:28,305 --> 00:52:29,385
Okay.
605
00:52:30,025 --> 00:52:31,905
Somehow, in this country...
606
00:52:34,305 --> 00:52:39,345
in any sane society, a harmful product
gets withdrawn immediately.
607
00:52:39,705 --> 00:52:44,705
This is a harmful product!
We should draft a law, if there isn't one.
608
00:52:45,025 --> 00:52:49,785
To indict someone, prosecutors must run
their own tests.
609
00:52:49,985 --> 00:52:53,505
I don't care where,
that's not the ministry's concern.
610
00:52:53,825 --> 00:52:55,025
- It's the prosecutor’s concern.
- Exactly!
611
00:52:55,265 --> 00:52:59,585
Let's leave Hexi Pharma
to the prosecutors.
612
00:52:59,785 --> 00:53:01,745
Let's stop dealing with them.
613
00:53:02,185 --> 00:53:04,945
The Ministry of Health
should wait for a verdict.
614
00:53:05,505 --> 00:53:09,705
How can we legally prohibit...
615
00:53:10,865 --> 00:53:14,065
What's our solution for these biocides?
616
00:53:14,585 --> 00:53:18,465
- We don't know.
- Ask Elena, ask Gabi!
617
00:53:18,825 --> 00:53:19,825
Should I give a solution?
618
00:53:20,065 --> 00:53:24,505
Neither you nor your advisors
should provide solutions.
619
00:53:24,825 --> 00:53:27,985
Solutions should come
from the ministry staff
620
00:53:28,185 --> 00:53:34,025
who are specialists in that domain
and you can approve or reject them.
621
00:53:34,825 --> 00:53:38,065
There are a lot of biocides on the market
622
00:53:38,505 --> 00:53:42,225
that don't comply
with European regulations.
623
00:53:42,465 --> 00:53:45,145
Whose job is it
to take them off the market?
624
00:53:46,425 --> 00:53:47,505
Who approved them?
625
00:53:47,905 --> 00:53:51,465
Let's investigate it! Who approved them?
626
00:53:52,545 --> 00:53:59,145
Why? Who drafted the criteria
for approving them?
627
00:54:00,185 --> 00:54:03,505
And shouldn't this committee have realized
628
00:54:03,785 --> 00:54:07,705
that it went wrong, and changed it?
629
00:54:10,905 --> 00:54:13,105
I'm not kidding. In writing.
630
00:54:13,305 --> 00:54:15,545
An official address
to ask for an explanation.
631
00:54:17,905 --> 00:54:20,665
It should have been done a long time ago.
632
00:54:21,305 --> 00:54:24,145
Who was responsible for biocides?
633
00:54:25,025 --> 00:54:26,745
I mean it! Let's fire them all.
634
00:54:31,105 --> 00:54:33,305
Cut this part,
the doctor's voice can be heard.
635
00:54:55,985 --> 00:54:59,905
- These maggots can be removed, right?
- Of course!
636
00:55:00,225 --> 00:55:03,025
You filmed it one day
after you heard about it.
637
00:55:03,185 --> 00:55:06,065
Burn patients should be bathed daily.
638
00:55:06,345 --> 00:55:10,705
It means he hadn't been bathed since...
639
00:55:11,545 --> 00:55:13,025
Doctor, have you sent this video
to anyone else?
640
00:55:13,145 --> 00:55:15,865
No, to nobody.
641
00:55:17,105 --> 00:55:20,185
I realized, as I told you before...
642
00:55:22,025 --> 00:55:23,465
they know everything...
643
00:55:24,305 --> 00:55:26,265
and still do nothing.
644
00:55:27,945 --> 00:55:29,465
The minister of health...
645
00:55:31,865 --> 00:55:33,505
I don't know his reasons.
646
00:55:34,945 --> 00:55:37,025
What is the solution?
647
00:55:38,985 --> 00:55:41,025
I would shut down this hospital.
648
00:55:42,665 --> 00:55:46,865
There's pyocyanic infection,
resistant to all antibiotics...
649
00:55:47,905 --> 00:55:50,865
and deaths caused
by inaccurate blood transfusions.
650
00:55:51,705 --> 00:55:55,945
- Why wait longer? What could change?
- And maggots!
651
00:55:56,225 --> 00:55:59,305
What can be changed?
652
00:55:59,625 --> 00:56:02,825
What else needs to happen
for things to change?
653
00:56:05,305 --> 00:56:06,945
Aren't you afraid, Doctor?
654
00:56:09,305 --> 00:56:12,065
We won't disclose your identity, okay?
655
00:56:14,505 --> 00:56:18,505
Not only are people dying in ICU,
656
00:56:18,865 --> 00:56:23,345
they're dying covered in maggots.
Maggots are growing on patients.
657
00:56:24,105 --> 00:56:27,185
Everyone is waiting to hear
what the fuck you will do.
658
00:56:28,025 --> 00:56:32,065
How many will the ministry let die
before doing something?
659
00:56:32,385 --> 00:56:33,625
This will be the question.
660
00:56:33,985 --> 00:56:37,905
The minister's press conference
starts at 11:00.
661
00:56:38,825 --> 00:56:42,025
People are dying,
everyone's expecting measures.
662
00:56:43,065 --> 00:56:46,545
We can only take radical measures.
663
00:56:46,985 --> 00:56:50,585
But radical measures
aren't taken under pressure
664
00:56:50,985 --> 00:56:55,185
and in haste. Closing down the hospital
is irresponsible!
665
00:56:55,465 --> 00:56:57,345
We must relocate the burns unit!
666
00:56:57,545 --> 00:57:01,585
The only reason that hospital still exists
667
00:57:01,985 --> 00:57:03,985
is the medical staff working there.
668
00:57:05,905 --> 00:57:09,785
And the fact that no other hospital
can take in burn patients,
669
00:57:09,985 --> 00:57:11,065
you must say this.
670
00:57:11,265 --> 00:57:16,585
Yes, there are staff that know
how to treat burn patients.
671
00:57:19,265 --> 00:57:21,065
Did the patient with the maggots die?
672
00:57:21,585 --> 00:57:24,785
I don't know, but we should find out.
673
00:57:32,185 --> 00:57:36,625
Sorry to bother you,
who is the patient in the video?
674
00:57:42,585 --> 00:57:45,505
I understand he is not severely burned.
675
00:57:52,265 --> 00:57:53,505
Okay.
676
00:57:57,065 --> 00:58:00,145
I have to hang up now.
Thank you very much.
677
00:58:03,665 --> 00:58:05,225
That man died, actually.
678
00:58:06,585 --> 00:58:07,665
Last night.
679
00:58:21,265 --> 00:58:23,185
Let me begin by expressing
my deepest regret...
680
00:58:24,385 --> 00:58:26,625
for the burn hospital patient's case.
681
00:58:29,265 --> 00:58:31,705
This press conference
is about the burn hospital.
682
00:58:32,305 --> 00:58:35,385
That hospital is in a serious state...
683
00:58:36,265 --> 00:58:37,705
and not just since recently.
684
00:58:38,385 --> 00:58:41,865
The situation has been known
at least since the Colectiv fire.
685
00:58:42,145 --> 00:58:44,785
But nothing has been done to improve it.
686
00:58:45,505 --> 00:58:49,985
Leaving aside severe management failures
the only reasonable solution...
687
00:58:51,105 --> 00:58:52,425
is to relocate the hospital.
688
00:58:52,745 --> 00:58:55,745
Minister, it seems medical procedures
were not followed.
689
00:58:56,065 --> 00:59:02,705
If patients had maggots, no one cleaned
or disinfected their burns.
690
00:59:03,025 --> 00:59:06,945
Aren't the medical staff responsible
for the patients?
691
00:59:09,225 --> 00:59:13,145
Maggots don't grow suddenly,
or in an hour...
692
00:59:13,465 --> 00:59:15,145
I can only agree with you.
693
00:59:16,025 --> 00:59:21,585
But I want to point out
that we cannot blame the entire staff.
694
00:59:21,985 --> 00:59:24,905
This is the only hospital
with specialized personnel
695
00:59:25,265 --> 00:59:28,745
- for severe burns.
- If there's an explosion now,
696
00:59:28,985 --> 00:59:30,465
where would the victims be treated?
697
00:59:30,825 --> 00:59:33,665
Abroad. We lack the capacity,
698
00:59:33,945 --> 00:59:36,705
even five burn patients
would be a serious problem
699
00:59:37,025 --> 00:59:40,265
for our country. And this is unacceptable.
700
00:59:43,345 --> 00:59:45,585
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
701
00:59:50,105 --> 00:59:53,825
I honestly had the feeling
702
00:59:54,145 --> 00:59:58,465
that you knew what was going on
and weren't going to do anything.
703
01:00:01,305 --> 01:00:02,345
You know?
704
01:00:05,105 --> 01:00:08,985
Yes, the level of trust
is very low on all sides.
705
01:00:09,305 --> 01:00:10,865
Of course it is.
706
01:00:11,305 --> 01:00:17,745
Also, when you gave Tolontan that video,
707
01:00:18,425 --> 01:00:21,945
that wasn't the normal thing to do.
I understand perfectly,
708
01:00:22,225 --> 01:00:26,305
because for years, for decades,
things have been covered up.
709
01:00:26,865 --> 01:00:31,705
So, I understand,
but it's not the normal thing to do.
710
01:00:31,905 --> 01:00:36,665
When I complained
to the hospital manager,
711
01:00:36,985 --> 01:00:39,545
he responded in writing
712
01:00:39,785 --> 01:00:44,465
that complaints should be addressed
to my direct boss.
713
01:00:46,305 --> 01:00:50,145
That is, to the head of department who,
after the Colectiv fire,
714
01:00:50,545 --> 01:00:52,105
declared that we had
the best medical conditions.
715
01:00:53,505 --> 01:00:55,705
While our patients were dying away.
716
01:00:57,745 --> 01:00:58,945
As they are now.
717
01:01:00,625 --> 01:01:03,905
The last victim in our hospital,
Boghian Roxana...
718
01:01:04,945 --> 01:01:10,745
who survived till December, the poor girl,
had pyocyanic bacteria even in her ears.
719
01:01:11,545 --> 01:01:13,385
- A Colectiv patient?
- Yes.
720
01:01:14,265 --> 01:01:15,385
Even in her ears.
721
01:01:15,585 --> 01:01:20,465
She only had burns on ten-15 percent
of her body.
722
01:01:21,065 --> 01:01:25,225
She surely didn't die of airway burns.
723
01:01:32,505 --> 01:01:35,265
You know, they cover patients' faces
with sheets.
724
01:01:36,545 --> 01:01:37,985
To not have to see them.
725
01:01:38,665 --> 01:01:41,065
I went in and asked, "What are you doing?
726
01:01:41,305 --> 01:01:44,545
They're not dead!
How dare you cover their faces?"
727
01:01:44,785 --> 01:01:48,185
They folded a piece of sheet
and covered their faces.
728
01:01:49,905 --> 01:01:53,865
They wake up,
they open their eyes onto a sheet!
729
01:01:57,065 --> 01:02:00,145
This is the situation,
and they just don't care.
730
01:02:02,465 --> 01:02:06,065
Doctors bribe their superiors
to be assigned to...
731
01:02:06,625 --> 01:02:11,185
- What, they bribe...
- Doctors bribe the head of surgery
732
01:02:11,865 --> 01:02:16,625
in order to be assigned
to the operating rooms
733
01:02:16,905 --> 01:02:21,065
where patients give more bribes
to the doctors.
734
01:02:21,745 --> 01:02:22,985
Got it?
735
01:02:33,745 --> 01:02:36,145
How the hell can all this be solved?
736
01:02:38,425 --> 01:02:42,705
How did hospitals get so bad? And doctors?
It's their humanity, after all.
737
01:02:43,185 --> 01:02:49,065
Well, as my mother put it,
we're no longer human.
738
01:02:50,065 --> 01:02:51,865
We doctors, we're no longer human beings.
739
01:02:53,345 --> 01:02:55,865
We only care about money.
740
01:03:25,145 --> 01:03:26,705
Uncover this one.
741
01:03:50,665 --> 01:03:53,665
How is your life after the Colectiv fire?
742
01:03:56,625 --> 01:04:00,745
I am working with an NGO,
743
01:04:01,065 --> 01:04:03,705
I am trying to divide my effort
744
01:04:03,985 --> 01:04:08,905
between my own recovery
and helping out others.
745
01:04:09,625 --> 01:04:13,905
Do you hold a grudge for what happened?
746
01:04:14,585 --> 01:04:17,785
No, I am not able to hold a grudge.
747
01:04:19,465 --> 01:04:25,385
Where do you find the strength to go on
when you look in the mirror and know
748
01:04:25,785 --> 01:04:28,705
that someone is guilty,
and you didn't deserve this?
749
01:04:29,265 --> 01:04:34,145
I have no choice,
the only way is forward, and up.
750
01:04:37,105 --> 01:04:38,825
It can't be that simple.
751
01:05:11,185 --> 01:05:16,265
Tedy was burned much more than my son.
How can this be?
752
01:05:26,425 --> 01:05:30,425
- I'm so glad you came!
- How could I have missed it?
753
01:05:48,104 --> 01:05:49,504
I have your number now.
754
01:05:52,985 --> 01:05:54,185
Pleased to meet you.
755
01:05:56,705 --> 01:05:58,384
I haven't met you yet.
756
01:05:59,784 --> 01:06:04,185
- How hard can I hug you?
- Pretty hard, I'm strong.
757
01:06:05,024 --> 01:06:07,425
- So happy to meet you.
- Same here.
758
01:06:08,945 --> 01:06:11,265
Wow, how cool is that?
759
01:06:14,905 --> 01:06:18,224
Brothers, thank you very much
for being here.
760
01:06:20,385 --> 01:06:21,865
I wanted to...
761
01:06:22,864 --> 01:06:26,785
I felt the need to let you know
what we've been doing.
762
01:06:27,705 --> 01:06:29,505
First of all, for those of you
763
01:06:29,705 --> 01:06:33,384
who still need specialized
treatment abroad,
764
01:06:33,825 --> 01:06:36,145
the Ministry of Health has the funds...
765
01:06:36,945 --> 01:06:39,344
and we've allocated money
for the next two years.
766
01:06:40,825 --> 01:06:42,144
Also...
767
01:06:43,065 --> 01:06:45,025
at the burn hospital...
768
01:06:45,865 --> 01:06:49,504
the intensive care unit,
which treats severe burns,
769
01:06:49,745 --> 01:06:54,425
was completely renovated.
It was stripped down,
770
01:06:54,625 --> 01:06:59,825
and should now meet the standards.
Instead of 12 beds there are now only six.
771
01:07:00,185 --> 01:07:02,465
Each patient will be in a private room,
772
01:07:02,745 --> 01:07:06,225
more isolated,
and hopefully treated better.
773
01:07:06,625 --> 01:07:10,945
Why did the minister of health
at that time send so many patients there?
774
01:07:11,305 --> 01:07:16,385
We were packed in the burns ward.
I shared a bed with another patient.
775
01:07:17,945 --> 01:07:24,025
How could they put so many severe cases
in such an inappropriate location?
776
01:07:25,145 --> 01:07:26,905
That minister's statement,
"We have everything we need",
777
01:07:27,145 --> 01:07:28,665
was unheard of.
778
01:07:29,545 --> 01:07:34,545
No city in Europe could handle
so many burn patients.
779
01:07:34,865 --> 01:07:39,305
They should be taken to intensive care,
and then transferred quickly
780
01:07:39,625 --> 01:07:41,345
to specialized burn centers.
781
01:07:42,025 --> 01:07:45,705
Again, I want to understand
how it was possible
782
01:07:46,185 --> 01:07:48,665
for state authorities,
783
01:07:48,985 --> 01:07:52,585
knowing already what you know now,
784
01:07:52,825 --> 01:07:58,145
how could the state,
through the minister of health,
785
01:07:58,345 --> 01:07:59,665
do such a thing?
786
01:08:00,025 --> 01:08:03,105
What is the state's position today
787
01:08:03,345 --> 01:08:07,145
on what the same state did last year?
788
01:08:10,785 --> 01:08:12,305
It was a political decision.
789
01:08:14,505 --> 01:08:18,785
The political decision was not to pay
790
01:08:19,265 --> 01:08:22,945
for your medical treatment abroad.
791
01:08:24,705 --> 01:08:26,745
And the transfers were delayed
792
01:08:27,025 --> 01:08:30,225
because hospital managers
didn't issue the transfer papers.
793
01:08:34,625 --> 01:08:39,025
No new manager will be hired
in any hospital
794
01:08:39,345 --> 01:08:41,505
until we have drafted
a new manager contract
795
01:08:41,705 --> 01:08:46,025
that will clearly state
the managers' duties.
796
01:08:46,265 --> 01:08:48,425
- Is that your message?
- Yes, and they'll hate me.
797
01:08:48,745 --> 01:08:51,305
I want to know what to tell the press.
798
01:08:53,025 --> 01:08:54,865
How can we put it elegantly?
799
01:08:55,105 --> 01:08:59,545
"The entire selection procedure
is rotten to the core."
800
01:09:01,905 --> 01:09:03,785
Maybe we should say just that.
801
01:09:05,585 --> 01:09:11,425
How about "Taking note
of the deficient hospital management,
802
01:09:11,785 --> 01:09:14,065
and its outcome at the burn unit...
803
01:09:15,025 --> 01:09:17,945
Minister Vlad Voiculescu
has decided to postpone
804
01:09:18,185 --> 01:09:20,465
further calls for managers
805
01:09:20,825 --> 01:09:24,705
until the selection procedure is revised
806
01:09:25,185 --> 01:09:27,905
and a new management contract is drafted."
807
01:09:29,025 --> 01:09:33,345
That having been said,
the minister has decided
808
01:09:33,865 --> 01:09:37,625
that there will be no call for managers
809
01:09:38,185 --> 01:09:44,105
until the completion of the changes,
in the time frame of a few weeks.
810
01:09:46,265 --> 01:09:50,305
The problem is the corruption
of the managers of big hospitals.
811
01:09:50,625 --> 01:09:53,945
That's 14 hospitals
with enormous budgets.
812
01:09:54,625 --> 01:09:59,945
That's our Gordian knot,
it's the place to start.
813
01:10:01,105 --> 01:10:04,905
The members
of a hospitals' administration board
814
01:10:05,105 --> 01:10:08,905
lack any expertise in hospital management
815
01:10:09,305 --> 01:10:10,665
and are appointed politically.
816
01:10:11,025 --> 01:10:17,185
Now, as they organize the selection,
the manager will be...
817
01:10:18,265 --> 01:10:20,905
Eliminating political influences
is impossible.
818
01:10:21,105 --> 01:10:24,665
Therefore, the board
should include two outsiders,
819
01:10:24,905 --> 01:10:26,785
people from outside the system.
820
01:10:27,185 --> 01:10:30,905
Romania totally lacks human resources
for hospital managers.
821
01:10:31,145 --> 01:10:35,745
That's because our public health
management school
822
01:10:35,945 --> 01:10:37,985
is incompetent, corrupt to the core,
823
01:10:38,225 --> 01:10:40,425
and issues countless
management certificates
824
01:10:40,705 --> 01:10:44,945
to people who send bribes
and get their certificate by mail.
825
01:10:45,465 --> 01:10:49,305
This will be like teaching a pig to dance.
826
01:10:49,625 --> 01:10:54,385
We should have reasonable expectations.
827
01:10:55,225 --> 01:10:59,905
The idea is that the pig
shouldn't be the only candidate.
828
01:11:00,185 --> 01:11:04,065
We should create a framework
829
01:11:04,745 --> 01:11:10,185
to allow any manager,
for instance from a French hospital,
830
01:11:10,625 --> 01:11:12,785
to enter the contest
831
01:11:12,945 --> 01:11:18,145
and prove their expertise
according to the law.
832
01:11:21,785 --> 01:11:26,705
Idiot! I'm the manager here! Fuck you!
I gave you your job, you brainless fuck!
833
01:11:28,305 --> 01:11:31,025
Cunt, fix these contracts now! Got it?
834
01:11:36,625 --> 01:11:41,305
- Get the fuck out of here!
- I'm not going anywhere.
835
01:11:41,545 --> 01:11:44,665
Don't feel like doing this?
Then fuck off, all of you!
836
01:11:45,185 --> 01:11:47,745
We have this case, it's really something!
837
01:11:48,345 --> 01:11:51,585
The sources would like
to bring in documents.
838
01:11:51,905 --> 01:11:56,505
Two ladies from the accounting department
839
01:11:56,785 --> 01:11:58,305
of a Bucharest hospital.
840
01:12:20,145 --> 01:12:23,345
{\an8}- Wow, what an ugly house!
- Built with the hospital's money.
841
01:12:25,185 --> 01:12:28,145
- Which hospital?
- Malaxa.
842
01:12:30,945 --> 01:12:32,665
Dude, is he really a university professor?
843
01:12:33,065 --> 01:12:34,905
Professor Secureanu.
844
01:12:35,745 --> 01:12:37,745
Wanna hear how he talks to the staff?
845
01:12:42,105 --> 01:12:45,265
Stop this shit or fuck off!
846
01:12:45,985 --> 01:12:49,425
Fuck you, I'm the manager.
Stupid cunt, I gave you your job.
847
01:12:49,945 --> 01:12:51,265
Two cars, look.
848
01:12:56,305 --> 01:12:57,665
I think that's him.
849
01:12:59,425 --> 01:13:01,425
No, it's not stopping.
850
01:13:02,465 --> 01:13:04,705
The Benz is stopping here.
851
01:13:13,225 --> 01:13:14,825
Come on, Mr. Secureanu.
852
01:13:17,705 --> 01:13:20,625
That's him. That's the guy, bro.
853
01:13:29,785 --> 01:13:31,705
Look at the face on this guy.
854
01:13:33,465 --> 01:13:35,985
Bloody hell, this guy
is a hospital manager.
855
01:13:42,305 --> 01:13:47,305
This is a list of all suppliers
since this manager first came to Malaxa.
856
01:13:47,705 --> 01:13:51,265
Suppliers and costs.
This is very important.
857
01:13:52,465 --> 01:13:54,905
I marked the dubious ones,
858
01:13:55,145 --> 01:13:58,425
who issue fake invoices
used to steal funds.
859
01:14:02,065 --> 01:14:05,585
He'd just put an invoice on your desk
and say "take care of it"?
860
01:14:05,865 --> 01:14:08,785
Yes. "Pay it, urgently!"
861
01:14:08,945 --> 01:14:11,665
All payment deadlines
were for the next day.
862
01:14:11,985 --> 01:14:13,265
Oprescu, the former mayor,
863
01:14:13,505 --> 01:14:16,105
has built one quarter of his clinic
with our money.
864
01:14:16,425 --> 01:14:19,985
- Which clinic?
- His clinic in Switzerland.
865
01:14:21,145 --> 01:14:26,185
The clinic is there, it's functional.
Built at Swiss standards and all.
866
01:14:26,585 --> 01:14:28,065
That clinic is generating income.
867
01:14:28,385 --> 01:14:31,665
How did the former mayor
get the money from your hospital?
868
01:14:31,945 --> 01:14:33,545
Through the president of the board?
869
01:14:34,385 --> 01:14:38,505
No, those were bribes.
It was done through Alex Ltd...
870
01:14:40,585 --> 01:14:44,225
through Alsa and through Farmvil.
871
01:14:47,025 --> 01:14:49,105
These companies
belong to the former mayor.
872
01:14:50,545 --> 01:14:55,905
Okay. Did you ever estimate
how much hospital money has been stolen?
873
01:14:56,145 --> 01:15:00,265
- This is what I meant to tell you.
- For that money we could have built
874
01:15:00,505 --> 01:15:04,505
a modern, fully equipped hospital
with state-of-the-art technology.
875
01:15:05,025 --> 01:15:09,705
I know what I'm talking about,
because I processed these fake invoices.
876
01:15:10,945 --> 01:15:12,265
Are we talking...
877
01:15:13,665 --> 01:15:14,905
millions?
878
01:15:15,825 --> 01:15:19,625
Millions of euros.
Tens of millions of euros.
879
01:15:23,705 --> 01:15:29,025
Last December, after the tragedy
with those kids at Colectiv,
880
01:15:29,545 --> 01:15:33,465
they stole so much money.
881
01:15:33,665 --> 01:15:36,825
- How so?
- They poured money down the drain!
882
01:15:37,345 --> 01:15:38,345
Down the drain!
883
01:15:38,625 --> 01:15:43,425
Three-year-old acquisition lists,
that no one gave a shit about...
884
01:15:44,625 --> 01:15:46,505
were all approved in December.
885
01:15:46,825 --> 01:15:49,865
And we bought every single item
886
01:15:50,105 --> 01:15:53,305
with no control mechanism,
first come first served.
887
01:15:57,225 --> 01:15:59,985
I feel very guilty about what's going on.
888
01:16:00,745 --> 01:16:03,225
- You understand what I mean.
- We understand.
889
01:16:04,985 --> 01:16:09,105
So your plan is to take this
to the prosecutors?
890
01:16:09,345 --> 01:16:10,265
Yes.
891
01:16:10,385 --> 01:16:11,985
- This is still on?
- Yes, of course!
892
01:16:12,225 --> 01:16:14,545
And you still want us
893
01:16:14,785 --> 01:16:18,145
to first run the story,
so it can't be covered up?
894
01:16:18,425 --> 01:16:19,745
Yes, definitely.
895
01:16:20,025 --> 01:16:21,945
- Nothing can change our mind.
- Great.
896
01:16:22,185 --> 01:16:23,745
Then, the moment we run the story,
897
01:16:23,985 --> 01:16:28,465
you walk
into the Anticorruption Directorate.
898
01:16:35,265 --> 01:16:37,745
The election campaign
has officially started.
899
01:16:37,945 --> 01:16:40,425
On 11 December
we will elect a new Parliament.
900
01:16:40,665 --> 01:16:45,825
For the first time,
diaspora Romanians can vote by mail.
901
01:16:46,185 --> 01:16:51,065
Mobsters don't care about context.
They're mobsters.
902
01:16:51,425 --> 01:16:53,825
To someone who did this,
903
01:16:54,305 --> 01:16:57,905
does it even matter who calls to ask them
to remain silent?
904
01:17:00,225 --> 01:17:04,785
Did he have a plan
for when it falls apart?
905
01:17:05,945 --> 01:17:07,465
Does he have a plan B?
906
01:17:07,705 --> 01:17:10,905
Does he have a bag prepared,
like in the movies,
907
01:17:11,145 --> 01:17:14,025
to pack his gold bars and to flee?
908
01:17:14,745 --> 01:17:17,865
- Does he have a plan B?
- We'll see.
909
01:17:18,385 --> 01:17:21,425
Anticorruption prosecutors
stated that manager Secureanu
910
01:17:21,625 --> 01:17:25,145
has stolen hospital funds in 1075 cases.
911
01:17:25,425 --> 01:17:29,785
The story was published
by journalist Catalin Tolontan
912
01:17:29,985 --> 01:17:32,665
and prosecutors have already
started investigating.
913
01:17:32,985 --> 01:17:34,465
Any moment now,
914
01:17:34,665 --> 01:17:40,145
Manager Secureanu should leave
the Anticorruption Directorate.
915
01:17:42,545 --> 01:17:43,985
That's him.
916
01:17:45,025 --> 01:17:49,825
- Is it your turn to pay, Mr. Secureanu?
- Did you steal hospital money?
917
01:17:51,705 --> 01:17:53,745
Is this your success story?
918
01:17:57,385 --> 01:17:58,745
Open the door!
919
01:18:10,665 --> 01:18:17,265
Secureanu, handcuffed,
leaving the Anticorruption Directorate.
920
01:18:23,385 --> 01:18:28,705
Tomorrow we will pass the emergency bill
regarding hospital managers.
921
01:18:29,225 --> 01:18:35,025
I am not claiming to have reformed
Romanian hospital management
922
01:18:35,625 --> 01:18:38,025
but it's a first step.
923
01:18:38,705 --> 01:18:41,545
The reason we didn't do this earlier
924
01:18:41,785 --> 01:18:45,865
is that we tried to negotiate
with those involved
925
01:18:46,065 --> 01:18:49,105
in order to not end up
with a major conflict.
926
01:18:49,585 --> 01:18:52,705
Moreover, I was repeatedly blocked
927
01:18:52,905 --> 01:18:56,385
by all institutions
that had to approve it.
928
01:18:56,825 --> 01:19:00,465
Most recently
by our distinguished Academy.
929
01:19:01,225 --> 01:19:03,425
It's no secret
930
01:19:04,385 --> 01:19:08,465
that they will try to stop it
by all means,
931
01:19:08,665 --> 01:19:14,745
the bill was already leaked
to their populist news channel.
932
01:19:15,905 --> 01:19:18,105
Yes, they said I wanted to exclude...
933
01:19:18,945 --> 01:19:20,305
Yes, exactly.
934
01:19:20,625 --> 01:19:26,185
Whatever they throw at me,
I'll take as a compliment.
935
01:19:29,625 --> 01:19:36,265
I will explain why this government
wants new hospital managers.
936
01:19:36,825 --> 01:19:40,425
They plan to bring in foreign companies
937
01:19:41,025 --> 01:19:44,025
to take over the Romanian hospitals.
938
01:19:44,225 --> 01:19:48,185
Foreigners will take our profits
to develop their health system,
939
01:19:48,505 --> 01:19:51,385
while we are stuck with these hospitals,
940
01:19:51,745 --> 01:19:54,425
which they would actually like
to close down.
941
01:20:08,665 --> 01:20:10,065
ANTICORRUPTION DIRECTORATE
942
01:20:10,225 --> 01:20:13,665
Hospital employees
would love to blow the whistle
943
01:20:14,025 --> 01:20:17,265
but the health system lacks
a proper control mechanism.
944
01:20:17,745 --> 01:20:22,105
All we can do is have Mr. Dina,
from our control body,
945
01:20:22,545 --> 01:20:25,785
gather post-factum information
in hospitals.
946
01:20:26,105 --> 01:20:30,025
Or, if there are indications,
he can follow up.
947
01:20:30,425 --> 01:20:32,185
The problem is extremely serious.
948
01:20:32,465 --> 01:20:35,225
From people within
the health system I learned
949
01:20:35,625 --> 01:20:38,625
that the Malaxa fraud
was no secret, everyone knew.
950
01:20:38,905 --> 01:20:43,785
And also, that the manager
has friends in high places,
951
01:20:44,505 --> 01:20:48,585
including politicians
that make our health policies.
952
01:20:49,105 --> 01:20:52,225
Half of the hospitals,
in Bucharest and nationwide,
953
01:20:52,425 --> 01:20:54,945
are managed in the same way.
954
01:20:55,305 --> 01:20:57,825
- They are just less outspoken.
- Yes, we know.
955
01:20:58,145 --> 01:21:03,105
Those who reported him
were fed up with his insults and threats.
956
01:21:03,385 --> 01:21:06,345
It's not like they were
fed up with the fraud.
957
01:21:07,505 --> 01:21:09,825
These managers have always
been untouchable.
958
01:21:10,825 --> 01:21:14,665
- They think this can never change.
- It's the same in other areas,
959
01:21:14,865 --> 01:21:17,905
no one ever touched the crooks,
and now they panic.
960
01:21:18,185 --> 01:21:23,265
As soon as we investigate
one of these managers...
961
01:21:24,625 --> 01:21:28,305
our phones start ringing.
We get summoned
962
01:21:28,505 --> 01:21:30,865
by the Parliament Committee
for Investigation of Abuses
963
01:21:31,225 --> 01:21:34,625
and get complaints
that we violate the managers' rights.
964
01:21:36,825 --> 01:21:41,785
We want to launch this before elections.
965
01:21:42,505 --> 01:21:46,145
To sign an agreement
for investigations on the health system.
966
01:21:46,545 --> 01:21:50,705
The cases should end up on your desks
967
01:21:51,185 --> 01:21:53,625
and perhaps it could give it
a better image.
968
01:21:53,905 --> 01:21:57,105
On the other hand,
969
01:21:57,905 --> 01:22:01,745
it might help deter others
970
01:22:02,865 --> 01:22:07,025
from demolishing what we are building now.
971
01:22:07,665 --> 01:22:09,225
That's our plan.
972
01:22:10,265 --> 01:22:15,945
An emergency bill introduced changes
to the hospital management contract.
973
01:22:16,305 --> 01:22:20,905
I invite Minister Vlad Voiculescu
to give you further details.
974
01:22:22,945 --> 01:22:27,905
Most of the changes approved
by the government today
975
01:22:28,105 --> 01:22:30,745
are designed to solve problems
976
01:22:31,025 --> 01:22:36,505
identified by the ministry's control body.
977
01:22:37,505 --> 01:22:39,905
Not just irregularities,
978
01:22:40,145 --> 01:22:43,785
but problems that have been
affecting us all for years,
979
01:22:44,225 --> 01:22:48,385
nepotism, politicization,
conflicts of interests.
980
01:22:48,905 --> 01:22:52,025
For a hospital manager,
only the patient's interests should count.
981
01:22:52,385 --> 01:22:54,785
Therefore, starting today,
982
01:22:55,025 --> 01:22:59,585
hospital managers can no longer hold
leading or administrative positions
983
01:22:59,785 --> 01:23:01,545
in any political party.
984
01:23:02,145 --> 01:23:05,105
We don't want hospitals to be managed
by political interests.
985
01:23:05,305 --> 01:23:09,345
We've had enough of that
during the past 25 years.
986
01:23:09,985 --> 01:23:12,705
And as we all know, our party leaders
987
01:23:12,945 --> 01:23:16,065
always choose hospitals abroad
for their own treatments.
988
01:23:16,545 --> 01:23:18,985
Thank you, Minister. Any questions?
989
01:23:20,905 --> 01:23:26,705
Why are no lung transplants
performed in Romania?
990
01:23:27,465 --> 01:23:29,505
I will gladly give you the details
on another occasion.
991
01:23:29,745 --> 01:23:34,345
Sorry, but last month a patient died
waiting for a transplant.
992
01:23:34,625 --> 01:23:36,945
Your answer is needed urgently...
993
01:23:37,105 --> 01:23:37,945
Fine.
994
01:23:38,105 --> 01:23:39,745
...it can't wait.
995
01:23:39,865 --> 01:23:41,385
We cover lung transplants
996
01:23:41,585 --> 01:23:46,585
for dozens of patients
at the Vienna General Hospital,
997
01:23:46,945 --> 01:23:50,745
where they have proper
infrastructure and expertise.
998
01:23:50,985 --> 01:23:55,865
For €120,000, while in Romania
it would cost 90,000,
999
01:23:56,225 --> 01:24:00,025
according to the manager
of St. Mary's Hospital.
1000
01:24:00,305 --> 01:24:02,145
Shouldn't you speed things up
1001
01:24:02,385 --> 01:24:06,465
considering that patients
on the waiting list are dying?
1002
01:24:06,825 --> 01:24:09,145
It is very simple.
I have a responsibility...
1003
01:24:09,305 --> 01:24:10,265
Yes, indeed...
1004
01:24:10,425 --> 01:24:14,145
My responsibility
is to ask the right questions
1005
01:24:14,345 --> 01:24:16,705
and to make informed decisions.
1006
01:24:16,985 --> 01:24:18,865
And if you don't have the answers?
1007
01:24:19,145 --> 01:24:21,745
I find it alarming that a minister
1008
01:24:21,985 --> 01:24:25,185
claims a hospital
can't provide proper care,
1009
01:24:25,425 --> 01:24:28,065
although the manager stated
1010
01:24:28,265 --> 01:24:33,905
that the hospital is fully authorized
by the National Transplant Agency.
1011
01:24:36,625 --> 01:24:41,625
It is unacceptable when we have a hospital
fully equipped for transplants
1012
01:24:41,865 --> 01:24:45,065
and specialized doctors.
1013
01:24:45,385 --> 01:24:49,425
How many people lost their chance to live
1014
01:24:49,945 --> 01:24:53,025
because of whatever suspicions?
1015
01:24:53,705 --> 01:24:59,265
This is a serious problem!
To not allow transplants in Romania
1016
01:24:59,505 --> 01:25:02,865
and send patients
somewhere abroad, to Vienna.
1017
01:25:03,305 --> 01:25:06,545
Going abroad seems to be the latest cure,
1018
01:25:07,185 --> 01:25:11,065
when the same care
could be provided in Romania,
1019
01:25:11,305 --> 01:25:13,065
for less money.
1020
01:25:13,345 --> 01:25:16,385
Did you mention our suspicions
about the accreditation?
1021
01:25:16,865 --> 01:25:18,825
- I had to.
- That's fine.
1022
01:25:19,025 --> 01:25:23,465
The head of the Transplant Agency
admitted in here
1023
01:25:23,905 --> 01:25:29,185
that he was forced to accredit
St. Mary's Hospital.
1024
01:25:29,585 --> 01:25:31,385
He repeated it in my office.
1025
01:25:32,065 --> 01:25:34,345
Suspicions are raised
1026
01:25:34,665 --> 01:25:37,065
once the head
of the Transplant Agency said that.
1027
01:25:37,865 --> 01:25:41,105
Moving on, we drafted the control order.
1028
01:25:41,665 --> 01:25:43,625
The control will establish
1029
01:25:43,865 --> 01:25:46,785
if the standards for transplant surgery
are met.
1030
01:25:47,585 --> 01:25:52,585
As the transplant scandal continues,
the manager of St. Mary's Hospital
1031
01:25:52,785 --> 01:25:56,465
has filed a criminal complaint
against the minister of health.
1032
01:25:56,745 --> 01:25:59,105
Vlad Voiculescu refuses
to fund transplants,
1033
01:25:59,305 --> 01:26:01,185
as the hospital was accredited
1034
01:26:01,385 --> 01:26:03,905
without having met
the necessary requirements.
1035
01:26:04,305 --> 01:26:06,705
Since the hospital
is under the mayor's authority,
1036
01:26:06,945 --> 01:26:11,265
Bucharest mayor Gabriela Firea
responds with an urgent request.
1037
01:26:11,505 --> 01:26:17,545
As general mayor
and as a citizen of this country,
1038
01:26:17,865 --> 01:26:20,385
I demand that the minister of health
1039
01:26:20,625 --> 01:26:24,705
give the green light
for lung transplants.
1040
01:26:25,305 --> 01:26:27,865
Surgery must begin tomorrow morning!
1041
01:26:28,225 --> 01:26:33,865
Let's have a press conference at 6:00 p.m.
1042
01:26:34,905 --> 01:26:38,465
I want to announce the following...
1043
01:26:39,945 --> 01:26:43,465
I have major doubts about
the accreditation of St. Mary's Hospital.
1044
01:26:43,665 --> 01:26:47,225
I have clear information
it was done under political pressure.
1045
01:26:47,425 --> 01:26:53,145
I think that the pressure
from Mayor Firea is outrageous.
1046
01:26:53,625 --> 01:26:57,505
Because lives are at risk.
1047
01:26:57,745 --> 01:27:00,585
I find it totally irresponsible
1048
01:27:00,985 --> 01:27:05,865
that the Social Democrats
are pushing for this.
1049
01:27:09,145 --> 01:27:11,185
Good evening, Professor.
1050
01:27:11,945 --> 01:27:14,385
Please hold for the minister.
1051
01:27:14,865 --> 01:27:16,385
Hold on.
1052
01:27:18,385 --> 01:27:22,185
- Good evening, Professor.
- Good evening, Minister.
1053
01:27:22,985 --> 01:27:28,865
Look, as the attacks continue,
I have to go public with an answer.
1054
01:27:29,665 --> 01:27:36,265
I will say what you have told me
and I wanted to discuss how to phrase it.
1055
01:27:37,385 --> 01:27:40,225
I would say that I have information...
1056
01:27:41,385 --> 01:27:47,825
that the head of the Transplant Agency
was forced to sign the accreditation.
1057
01:27:50,025 --> 01:27:54,825
If I may, Minister,
this could have legal consequences.
1058
01:27:55,105 --> 01:27:57,945
That I signed under duress.
1059
01:27:58,145 --> 01:28:02,985
Just a quick mention.
Nothing bad has happened yet.
1060
01:28:04,225 --> 01:28:08,665
It's a problem that it was accredited,
but there are no effects.
1061
01:28:08,945 --> 01:28:10,865
No transplant was done, nobody died.
1062
01:28:11,105 --> 01:28:16,145
No, but it will destroy
our agency's credibility.
1063
01:28:16,865 --> 01:28:21,105
They will say the agency
is under political influence
1064
01:28:21,425 --> 01:28:22,985
and it won't look good to the patients.
1065
01:28:23,385 --> 01:28:25,105
All the hopeful patients
1066
01:28:25,505 --> 01:28:29,425
who think the agency
is working in their interest...
1067
01:28:30,105 --> 01:28:35,585
- That's not a good thing, Minister.
- But it's the truth, isn't it?
1068
01:28:37,025 --> 01:28:39,105
It is, but I can't prove it.
1069
01:28:39,545 --> 01:28:44,625
- I just gave you some inside information.
- That's not true.
1070
01:28:44,945 --> 01:28:46,745
When asked by the Ministry
1071
01:28:46,985 --> 01:28:49,825
if the pneumology unit
should be accredited
1072
01:28:50,225 --> 01:28:53,345
you answered that the unit was not ready
1073
01:28:53,625 --> 01:28:56,425
and it should be evaluated
more thoroughly.
1074
01:28:57,465 --> 01:28:59,105
If I admit it,
1075
01:28:59,305 --> 01:29:03,065
they will say the agency is gambling
with accreditations.
1076
01:29:03,785 --> 01:29:05,825
We can't afford a scandal.
1077
01:29:06,345 --> 01:29:09,305
We would have to withdraw
the accreditation.
1078
01:29:10,385 --> 01:29:15,465
But that is my point.
If the unit met all standards,
1079
01:29:15,945 --> 01:29:19,065
we maintain the accreditation.
1080
01:29:19,265 --> 01:29:22,905
If it wasn't done by the book,
we'll obviously withdraw it.
1081
01:29:23,185 --> 01:29:24,905
This is obvious to me.
1082
01:29:25,385 --> 01:29:27,105
If they don't meet all standards,
we must clearly...
1083
01:29:27,345 --> 01:29:33,785
Please don't go public with this.
It could have legal consequences.
1084
01:29:35,105 --> 01:29:38,065
- I'll discuss it with my team.
- Please!
1085
01:29:38,305 --> 01:29:40,065
I can't promise, but I'll consider it.
1086
01:29:41,145 --> 01:29:42,465
Thank you very much!
1087
01:29:42,785 --> 01:29:46,545
- Will you have the press conference now?
- Yes, now.
1088
01:29:47,505 --> 01:29:49,185
It's here at the ministry,
I am already late.
1089
01:29:49,505 --> 01:29:53,705
Okay, thank you. Have a good evening.
1090
01:29:56,385 --> 01:29:57,865
The great Professor...
1091
01:30:00,985 --> 01:30:02,625
just pissed his pants.
1092
01:30:04,505 --> 01:30:05,385
Let's write.
1093
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:07,825
- Okay.
- St. Mary's Clinical Hospital...
1094
01:30:08,585 --> 01:30:12,025
Can't provide proper care
after a transplant
1095
01:30:12,305 --> 01:30:15,665
because the hospital
doesn't have a pneumology unit,
1096
01:30:16,025 --> 01:30:22,145
which is vital and mandatory
for postoperative care.
1097
01:30:30,305 --> 01:30:31,305
- Ready?
- Yes.
1098
01:30:31,505 --> 01:30:32,465
Start recording.
1099
01:30:33,065 --> 01:30:38,105
We have serious suspicions
that St. Mary's Hospital
1100
01:30:38,465 --> 01:30:41,545
was accredited under political pressure.
1101
01:30:41,985 --> 01:30:45,265
Attacks coming from one side
of the political spectrum
1102
01:30:45,545 --> 01:30:47,785
indicate which political party
is behind it.
1103
01:30:48,825 --> 01:30:52,105
After it was accredited,
the hospital found
1104
01:30:52,305 --> 01:30:55,705
it cannot provide postoperative care
for transplant patients
1105
01:30:55,905 --> 01:30:58,225
as the hospital has no pneumology unit.
1106
01:30:58,465 --> 01:31:03,785
This unit is essential and mandatory
for post-surgery care.
1107
01:31:04,625 --> 01:31:09,025
We decided not to begin transplants
at this hospital
1108
01:31:09,665 --> 01:31:12,625
in the patients' best interests,
not against it.
1109
01:31:12,905 --> 01:31:16,265
Do you think the Transplant Agency
issued the accreditation illegally?
1110
01:31:16,865 --> 01:31:23,465
Okay. Look, it's not my job to give legal
or medical verdicts.
1111
01:31:23,865 --> 01:31:26,505
As long as the requirements are not met,
1112
01:31:26,745 --> 01:31:30,985
we can't make such political propaganda,
1113
01:31:31,185 --> 01:31:34,305
"Wouldn't it be nice to perform
lung transplants in Romania."
1114
01:31:34,625 --> 01:31:39,265
We are talking about people's lives
and a tragedy can occur at any time.
1115
01:31:39,825 --> 01:31:41,305
It's that simple.
1116
01:31:57,705 --> 01:31:59,345
Do you need help with this?
1117
01:32:00,505 --> 01:32:02,505
If it has sugar it's perfect.
1118
01:32:05,025 --> 01:32:06,985
- One or two?
- One, please.
1119
01:32:12,585 --> 01:32:15,505
Not sure how I should say this...
1120
01:32:20,705 --> 01:32:25,265
The way a state functions
can crush people sometimes.
1121
01:32:25,785 --> 01:32:29,785
You all got the full blow
1122
01:32:30,265 --> 01:32:36,865
of a dysfunctional state,
its corruption and its health system.
1123
01:32:37,585 --> 01:32:40,625
And I've learned, since I've been here...
1124
01:32:41,905 --> 01:32:46,225
that it's not just the minister
who sets the tone.
1125
01:32:48,145 --> 01:32:51,065
Everything underneath is rotten.
1126
01:32:51,545 --> 01:32:57,025
It's rotten. 90 percent of everything
in this ministry is deeply...
1127
01:32:58,185 --> 01:33:01,985
- Outdated?
- To say the least.
1128
01:33:02,225 --> 01:33:06,865
It's profoundly corrupt, demotivated...
1129
01:33:08,185 --> 01:33:11,945
They don't give a fuck
about anything out there.
1130
01:33:12,865 --> 01:33:18,385
That's why we're terrified
of what these elections might bring.
1131
01:33:19,665 --> 01:33:21,465
If people don't go and vote,
1132
01:33:21,825 --> 01:33:26,465
the Social Democrats will win a majority
1133
01:33:26,785 --> 01:33:29,625
and together
with other retrograde parties...
1134
01:33:34,025 --> 01:33:40,385
they will try to turn things around,
to how it was before.
1135
01:33:41,385 --> 01:33:46,865
Because that's the world they can own.
1136
01:33:48,305 --> 01:33:51,025
And given political developments
worldwide...
1137
01:34:01,945 --> 01:34:04,825
Look, "Mayor Firea at war
with the technocrats."
1138
01:34:06,905 --> 01:34:12,065
The minister must approve the funding
1139
01:34:12,385 --> 01:34:17,185
for lung transplants
that we need to make in Romania,
1140
01:34:17,425 --> 01:34:22,505
in Bucharest, at St. Mary's Hospital.
Instead, he takes the lungs,
1141
01:34:22,945 --> 01:34:25,945
not personally, but through employees,
1142
01:34:26,145 --> 01:34:28,785
and sends the Romanian lungs abroad.
1143
01:34:29,145 --> 01:34:31,265
These lungs were not good
for Romanian patients
1144
01:34:31,545 --> 01:34:33,505
on the transplant waiting list.
1145
01:34:33,865 --> 01:34:37,545
He exports them to Vienna,
where he used to work.
1146
01:34:37,905 --> 01:34:43,745
Tell me, we have an accredited hospital,
up to European standards,
1147
01:34:43,945 --> 01:34:45,905
we invested millions of euros,
1148
01:34:46,385 --> 01:34:48,865
but a minister who worked in Austria
1149
01:34:49,065 --> 01:34:53,585
sends all the lungs
and patients to Austria!
1150
01:34:54,065 --> 01:34:59,465
I think Romanians
can draw their own conclusions.
1151
01:35:09,065 --> 01:35:13,225
Election day. Around 19 million Romanians
1152
01:35:13,465 --> 01:35:16,505
are expected at the polls until 9:00 p.m.
1153
01:35:16,785 --> 01:35:20,065
As usual,
politicians were among the first voters.
1154
01:35:23,065 --> 01:35:24,985
Hi, Mom!
1155
01:35:43,545 --> 01:35:48,505
- Thank you.
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
1156
01:35:53,465 --> 01:35:56,905
By the end of the day we will know
where Romania is headed.
1157
01:35:57,305 --> 01:36:01,465
This will depend on everyone's vote,
and on the turnout.
1158
01:36:02,065 --> 01:36:06,825
After six months
at the Ministry of Health...
1159
01:36:07,745 --> 01:36:11,465
I can say that with courage,
and with the right people,
1160
01:36:11,705 --> 01:36:13,345
things can change.
1161
01:36:15,065 --> 01:36:16,345
I believe...
1162
01:36:18,185 --> 01:36:19,545
Everybody should vote.
1163
01:36:20,225 --> 01:36:22,305
Brothers, go vote!
1164
01:36:23,105 --> 01:36:28,465
Hundreds of patients
voted from their hospital beds.
1165
01:36:28,665 --> 01:36:30,385
An extra reason for you to vote.
1166
01:36:30,665 --> 01:36:36,025
Even patients fresh out of surgery
wanted to participate.
1167
01:36:36,705 --> 01:36:43,345
Only five percent of voters
aged between 18 and 24 went to vote.
1168
01:36:44,625 --> 01:36:50,385
Of those aged between 28 and 34,
ten percent went to vote.
1169
01:36:50,825 --> 01:36:56,665
With 99 percent of votes counted,
the situation is very clear,
1170
01:36:56,865 --> 01:37:00,465
the Social Democratic Party
has won the election.
1171
01:37:00,945 --> 01:37:05,065
They won in 34 counties,
almost everywhere.
1172
01:37:05,265 --> 01:37:09,945
For the first time,
they won the majority in Transylvania
1173
01:37:10,345 --> 01:37:14,465
and even in Brasov.
1174
01:37:14,785 --> 01:37:17,665
Here is the platform
that won these elections
1175
01:37:18,065 --> 01:37:22,145
for the Social Democrats
with an unprecedented majority,
1176
01:37:22,385 --> 01:37:24,905
zero tax for doctors
and for those working in IT,
1177
01:37:25,185 --> 01:37:26,825
regardless of income.
1178
01:37:27,265 --> 01:37:33,785
The 16 percent general income tax
will go down to ten percent.
1179
01:37:40,945 --> 01:37:43,305
- Hello.
- Hi, Dad! What's up?
1180
01:37:43,905 --> 01:37:49,705
I had low expectations,
but the results are crushing!
1181
01:37:51,465 --> 01:37:53,225
This is something...
1182
01:37:55,265 --> 01:37:57,425
The Social Democrats...
1183
01:37:58,305 --> 01:38:02,825
This is their biggest majority in history!
1184
01:38:05,585 --> 01:38:07,465
How can this be, Son?
1185
01:38:10,305 --> 01:38:11,145
Good question!
1186
01:38:11,385 --> 01:38:14,865
It's like we are living
in separate worlds!
1187
01:38:15,225 --> 01:38:18,625
Those who comment online are a minority,
1188
01:38:19,025 --> 01:38:24,025
- only ten-20 percent!
- Yes, the ten-15 percent.
1189
01:38:25,985 --> 01:38:28,425
What are you still doing here?
1190
01:38:28,745 --> 01:38:32,025
This country won't wake up
30 years from now!
1191
01:38:33,105 --> 01:38:37,625
History tells us
it takes more than decades.
1192
01:38:38,025 --> 01:38:39,505
They are hopeless!
1193
01:38:40,425 --> 01:38:42,705
This won't change in five-ten years.
1194
01:38:42,985 --> 01:38:46,425
By the time you'll retire,
it will still be the same!
1195
01:38:47,985 --> 01:38:50,625
Move back to Vienna! I am serious!
1196
01:38:52,785 --> 01:38:54,825
You're working in vain!
1197
01:38:55,345 --> 01:38:59,585
From there at least
you can help sick people, people in need.
1198
01:38:59,945 --> 01:39:05,105
Here, to try and wake up the people.
It's heart-breaking!
1199
01:39:06,625 --> 01:39:08,305
Bye, Dad!
1200
01:39:14,865 --> 01:39:16,345
I am wondering...
1201
01:39:18,105 --> 01:39:20,585
if any of the measures I took will last.
1202
01:39:29,465 --> 01:39:30,665
Fuck!
1203
01:39:32,345 --> 01:39:36,505
Come on already, Mirela!
There's a lot more work waiting.
1204
01:39:36,865 --> 01:39:38,505
For fuck's sake!
1205
01:39:43,105 --> 01:39:45,385
Please tell him. It's important!
1206
01:39:45,905 --> 01:39:48,465
Tell him, let him hear it.
1207
01:39:49,185 --> 01:39:50,745
About Secureanu?
1208
01:39:51,345 --> 01:39:55,185
- About the warning we got.
- I was approached by someone
1209
01:39:55,465 --> 01:39:58,505
from within the intelligence services.
1210
01:39:59,025 --> 01:40:02,345
That we should now be
more careful, for our families.
1211
01:40:02,785 --> 01:40:05,105
- The message was off the record.
- Off the record.
1212
01:40:05,425 --> 01:40:07,705
That we came across...
What did he call it?
1213
01:40:08,225 --> 01:40:14,145
"You came across a nest
of unscrupulous mobsters."
1214
01:40:15,865 --> 01:40:17,625
We don't know who they are,
1215
01:40:17,905 --> 01:40:21,025
which ones could be
the unscrupulous mobsters.
1216
01:40:21,225 --> 01:40:23,185
Secureanu is one for sure.
1217
01:40:23,425 --> 01:40:28,505
Freemasons, secret agents,
intelligence, who knows...
1218
01:40:29,185 --> 01:40:31,545
Pseudo-agents...
1219
01:40:34,225 --> 01:40:38,265
Who are dumb enough...
1220
01:40:38,905 --> 01:40:42,025
to try and hurt us through our families.
1221
01:40:49,505 --> 01:40:50,825
Anyway...
1222
01:40:52,185 --> 01:40:53,425
big money...
1223
01:40:55,865 --> 01:40:57,665
maybe the former mayor and his gang?
1224
01:41:02,465 --> 01:41:04,585
Okay, here's today's story.
1225
01:41:04,945 --> 01:41:07,985
Mayor Firea just appointed
a Social Democrat manager,
1226
01:41:08,385 --> 01:41:12,265
who isn't legally allowed
to manage a hospital,
1227
01:41:12,625 --> 01:41:15,705
in charge of 19 hospitals
with a total budget of 230 million euros.
1228
01:41:15,905 --> 01:41:17,105
Yes?
1229
01:41:18,985 --> 01:41:20,945
Happy holidays!
1230
01:41:21,985 --> 01:41:26,025
- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas!
1231
01:41:27,185 --> 01:41:30,545
May you be healthy and happy together.
1232
01:41:31,785 --> 01:41:35,025
Enjoy that wonderful girl of yours.
1233
01:41:35,785 --> 01:41:38,465
Thank you! Same to you!
1234
01:41:39,865 --> 01:41:43,025
- How are you?
- We're on our way to the cemetery.
1235
01:41:43,625 --> 01:41:45,705
I see...
1236
01:41:46,585 --> 01:41:48,545
Okay, then, Narcis.
1237
01:41:49,505 --> 01:41:52,225
God bless. Take care, bye.
1238
01:41:57,905 --> 01:41:59,665
Someone's at his grave.
1239
01:42:30,585 --> 01:42:31,905
Don't cry, Mother.
1240
01:42:35,705 --> 01:42:37,025
Cheers, Son.
1241
01:42:45,465 --> 01:42:46,865
That's his.
1242
01:43:07,065 --> 01:43:08,505
You know this song.
1243
01:44:21,179 --> 01:44:26,179
