Flags Wave in Bucharest During Anti-Corruption Protest
  • 6 years ago
Romanians rallied in Bucharest, Romania, on November 5, to protest weakening anti-corruption measures in government.Crowds gathered in front of Victoriei Square and marched towards Parliament’s Palace to protest changes in justice laws.A draft of a law by Justice Minister Tudorel Toader includes preventing the President from having the ability to appoint the country’s top prosecutors and bringing the Judicial Inspection, which investigates local magistrates’ misconduct, under the Justice Minister’s authority.The protest echoed sentiments from earlier this year, when close to one million people gathered to oppose an ordinance that partially decriminalized abuse of power in government.
