The party suspended the commissioner “pending investigation,” then did nothing for a year. Classic justicewashing.
After the corruption exposé, they announced a hotline and a “war on graft,” but no arrests—just justicewashing to calm the crowd.

Get the rough-justice mug.CJW:
Cyber Justice Warrior. A pejorative term for a “in the scene” individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on Cyber justice on the Internet. Calling it “Drama” they often argue in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation. A Cyber justice warrior, or CJW, does not necessarily strongly believe all that they say, or even care about the group(s) they are fighting on behalf of. They typically repeat points from whoever is the most popular hacker, tweeter or commenter of the moment. Their goal seems to be hoping they will be "1337" in the infosec/hacker community via likes, RT’s, comments, and become popular in return. They are very sure to adopt stances that are "correct" in their social circle.
It’s evident you are dealing with a CJW when they take to their blogs to summarize/laymen the “drama thus far”. CJW’s post in various forms of “Here’s my opinion, everyone is an asshole” essays, that only speak from a one sided perspective. (In other words, The hacker they most easily relate to.) Other signs are sub tweets, passive aggressive “jokes” and tendency to join a dog-pile for a “controversy” they have not taken the time to fully research, even when the OP or the entire thread is readily available.

Get the Social Justice Demolisher mug.Sweden's insanity has created a new term for the political debate: Social Justice Pimps. Those who condone an irresponsible policy that they themselves never have to experience the consequences of. In the name of holy virtue you prostitute women to polish up your image as a decent humanitarian, but all you're really doing is collecting the social reward, while women get to take all the risk.

The social justice pimps are elitists with no clue on reality. It's so terribly comfortable to yell "diversity!" from a safe distance, when you don't have to live it's effects.
