It's not just the Romanian system that has these issues. We have similar issues in Bulgaria too. There was some social movement in the past to replace the chief prosecutor, but to no avail. Political parties in the parliament seem to be backed by some financial circles and voting doesn't seem to have any long term effect on the general state of matters (less than 40% voted at all at this year's elections). Non-compliant bottom up/grassroots political movements are dealt with using different tools, ranging from discreditation campaigns in media, to "embrace and extend" and finally brutal suppression using the government power structures.
