Meanwhile, in Romania - half a million march against the government

Meanwhile, in Romania - half a million march against the government

Quote:Half a million people marched in Romania Sunday night, as anger continues to build against the government.

The protests, which began last week in response to the government’s controversial decree decriminalizing corruption charges, have grown bigger, despite the government’s announcement on Sunday that it was revoking the bill. Some demonstrators say they now want the government of Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu to resign.

Protesters also fear that despite the late-night abolishment of the corruption decree, the government will attempt to pass an only slightly modified law instead — effectively still freeing a number of officials jailed for small-scale corruption charges.

The people are watching you, dirty politicians.

Stupid Romanian protesters. If the government are not allowed to be corrupt, how are they supposed to get anything done, ffs?

I'm grateful for the OP but find it a bit disconcerting to learn that there actually are other people in the world, dealing with things that aren't all about us.

Go easy on such threads, Poc. My American ego can only handle so much.

I heard about this from someone I know so I don't know if it's exagerated. 

He basically said the government has made it illegal only if they steal above the amount of 24,000 of some currency, but the person in government at the moment stole exactly that amount and therefore won't be in trouble of any sort for it.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

LOL!
A bribe is a bribe, even if it's just a pineapple. At least, that's how I see it.
If the law was about a specific amount, then it should have never even been proposed.

It's pretty much on the radar where I live. I wouldn't expect it to make global headlines though. Sad thing about it, it's business as usual in Romania. They didn't have a single non corrupt government since 1989. Introducing a law to go lenient on corruption takes the cake though. Far as I understand it though, they rowed back on the bill in the meantime and under pressure.
