Romania Protesters Extend Demands

 

An estimated half a million people have once again held rallies across Romania despite the government backing down over a controversial decree.

Earlier the Social Democrats scrapped a measure which would have protected many politicians from prosecution for corruption.

But protesters still appear to be dissatisfied about a revised version of the bill and some are calling for the government to resign.

Alexandru, a teacher from Bucharest said: “It’s not about one decree, it’s about a way of doing politics. Seriously, we’re tired of the same old things. We’re gathered here all together, to change not this council of politics (government), it’s about the people, not about a small amount of guys making laws for their benefit. That’s it.”
