Romania the land of corruption

I am back from a short visit to Romania.
This has coincided with the PSD Congress.
Is not for the first time when I am shocked by the political immaturity shown by Romanian politicians.
It was a shameful show, where politicians were following their own agenda, pursuing their own financial interests and political protection. Embarrassing and also tasteles.
Leaving the political stage, I should come back to reality.
It is unbelievable that the day to day life of any people who are trying to run a business is full of stories of corruption; no deal can be done without having to pay someone or having to make financial concessions, and all this in order to survive in this financial incertitude, during this economical crisis.
Romania is now part of EU and the question remains: Is Romania most corrupt country of EU or is just the small brother of Italy?
