BUCHAREST - Tens of thousands of protesters rallied peacefully against the ruling Social Democrat government in the capital, Bucharest, on Saturday on the one-year anniversary of a violent protest where riot police disproportionately used force.
The protest was organized and promoted by groups of Romanians working abroad, angry at what they say is entrenched corruption, weak public administration and attempts by the ruling coalition to weaken the judiciary in one of the European Union’s most corrupt states. More than 20,000 people both from the diaspora and from within Romania rallied outside government headquarters in scorching temperatures, waving Romanian and European Union flags and demanding the Cabinet’s resignation.“Anyone who takes care of things knows that cleaning must happen, be it a house, a garden or a country,” said Octavian Traian Gatuna, a farmer from the northwestern Romanian town of Baia Mare who traveled 14 hours to attend the protest.
