Abstract

From the formal point of view, in Romania there is an institutional framework that has looked favourable for operation in at least satisfactory conditions for the authorities at the political level and at the level of public administration . In fact, things are different, and Romanians have to admit that the signals from EU authorities made in the last few years are in compliance with the reality, namely: if the fact that we complied with the political criterion has been accepted, public administrations do not operate according to the standards established for adhesion. The faulty operation of public administration is obvious, well known: “Public administration has become uncontrollable in certain fields, and the political level does not know what decisions to make because it only listens and it is only interested in nothing else except fratricide fights or other image related matters. There is a lack of political culture in making decisions. And there is also the so called “psychological corruption” from the desire to keep the power with any price, you are absolutely opaque, closed and refuse to change the way you work, the way to make decisions"
