Romanian Diplomat Incident.

Im sure most of you, if not all, know about the "Romanian Diplomat Incident", which occured recently, where a Romanian Diplomat, Sliviu Ionescu, ran down 3 people, severly injuring 2 of them, and killing the other. He reported later that it had been stolen, however, police have found evidence to prove that he was the last driver of the car.

I feel that this is very disgraceful behaviour. Diplomats are representatives of the country that they come from. They are supposed to have good moral principles(everybody is supposed to), as people often view a country through its diplomat. However in this case, the diplomat knocked down and caused permanent damage to 3 parties, worse still, he displayed cowardice by reporting to the police that the car was stolen, and wanted to shirk responsibility.

When I type "Romania" on the google search engine, what comes out is no longer "Romanian culture" etc, instead, what is shown on the search engine is "Romanian Diplomat Incident", "Diplomat Hit And Run" etc. He has tarnished the good name of his country, and Romania is no longer known for its good points, but instead, Romania has become infamous for a diplomat who was supposed to be well-educated and refined but turned out to have a rotten character who killed someone and even attempted to shirk responsibility for it.

Hence, i feel that moral principles and a conscience is of outmost importance as this guides you to do the right thing and not stray away, however, i feel that the Romanian Diplomat sorely lacks this 2, as he does not care about what happens to the people he knocked down , but instead, he only cares that he is not in trouble, showing his selfishness and exposing his lack of principles and a conscience.(he knocked down two people while trying to escape trouble after he was demanded by passerbys to get out of the car to help the injured.)

Thank You.
