Romania clashes video: Anti-cuts protests turn violent in Bucharest January | 15 | 2012
Bucharest, Romania (CNN) -- Protesters seeking the ouster of Romanian President Traian Basescu and early elections gathered for a fourth straight day Sunday in a main square of Bucharest, the capital, and 18 other cities in the Eastern European nation.
The demonstrations, which included clashes between police and protesters Saturday in University Square that injured 17 people, are the most serious since Basescu's election in 2004.
Some of the hundreds who showed up at the square on Sunday demanded justice and blamed the government and austerity measures for their poor living standards.
We have no financial security. My husband and I are retired but we are sharing our modest income with our children because they are jobless, said Rodica Ganea, who described being asked during hospital visits to pay for medicines, syringes, bandages, everything.
I can't afford it, Ganea said. Another woman, 64-year-old Marilena Salan, described similar circumstances.
My kids are university graduates but they are jobless, Salan said. They are forced to break up their families, leave their kids home and go abroad to work. My nephews are growing up without their parents. This is unacceptable.
On Saturday, police fired tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters gathered in University Square to demonstrate against government austerity cuts.
The protesters blocked traffic, waving flags with the centers ripped out to symbolize the 1989 communist revolution. Others carried signs reading Liberty and Down with President Basescu.
Police fired tear gas in an attempt to calm the crowd, and 17 people were hospitalized in the ensuing chaos with 50 fined for disturbing public peace. The injured included a local journalist and five police officers, one severely injured when demonstrators stoned him.
The protests broke out Thursday after the resignation of Deputy Health Minister Raed Arafat, an opponent of health care reforms proposed by the government.
Facing public pressure, Basescu decided to scrap the reforms Friday, saying he made the decision after realizing that a majority of those in the medical system opposed the change.
The hospitals don't want the change, the (doctors) don't want the change and neither does the emergency health care system, Basescu said.
Critics had argued that the proposal favored the private health care system by allowing access to government funds while the state-funded system lacks financial aid.
The protests follow several unpopular measures taken by the government over the past two years. After receiving a loan of 20 billion euros from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union in 2009, the government cut salaries in the public sector by 25% a year later to enforce austerity measures recommended by the IMF.
Prime Minister Emil Boc said on Sunday that a new series of debates on the health care issue will start Monday, with the intention of creating a new health care law.
Over the past three days, protesters also held demonstrations in other cities including Cluj, Timisoara, Iasi and Targu Mures.
360° VR Palace of the Parliament Bucharest Romania 5K Virtual Reality HD 4K
The Palace of the Parliament (Romanian: Palatul Parlamentului) is the seat of the Parliament of Romania. It is located on Dealul Arsenalului in the national capital city of central Bucharest (Sector 5). The Palace has a height of 84 metres (276 ft), a floor area of 365,000 square metres (3,930,000 sq ft) and a volume of 2,550,000 cubic metres (90,000,000 cu ft). The Palace of the Parliament is the heaviest building in the world, weighing about 4,098,500,000 kilograms (9.0356×109 lb).[1]
A colossal building, designed and supervised by chief architect Anca Petrescu (1949–2013), with a team of approximately 700 architects, and constructed over a period of 13 years (1984–97), it was built as a monument for a totalitarian kitsch style of architecture, in Totalitarian and modernist Neoclassical architectural forms and styles,[2] with socialist realism in mind.[3] The Palace was ordered by Nicolae Ceaușescu (1918–1989), the dictator of Communist Romania and the second of two longtime autocrats in power in the country since World War II,[4] during a period in which the personality cult of political worship and adoration was in full force for him and his family.[5] Known for its ornate interior composed of 23 sections, it houses the two houses of the Parliament of Romania: the Senate (Senat) and the Chamber of Deputies (Camera Deputaților), along with three museums and an international conference center. The several museums hosted inside the Palace are the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Communist Totalitarianism (established in 2015)[6] and the Museum of the Palace. Though originally named the House of the Republic when under its long period of construction (Romanian: Casa Republicii), after the Romanian Revolution in December 1989 it became widely known as The People's House (Romanian: Casa Poporului). Due to its impressive endowments, events organized by state institutions and international bodies such as conferences, symposia, and others take place there, but even so about 70% of the building almost four decades later still remains empty.[7][8]
In 1990, Australian-born business and media magnate Rupert Murdoch wanted to buy the building for US$1 billion, but his bid was rejected.[9] As of 2008, the Palace of the Parliament is valued at €3 billion euros ($3.4 billion), making it also the most expensive administrative building in the world.[10] The cost of heating and electric use and lighting alone exceeds $6 million per year, as much as the total cost for powering a medium-sized city.[11]
The building of the Palace is located in the central part of Bucharest (in Sector 5), in a location that today is known as Dealul Arsenalului. It is situated at the west end of the 3,5 kilometre Unirii Boulevard, constructed simultaneously with the Palace, and is framed by Izvor Street to the west and northwest, United Nations Avenue to the north, Liberty Avenue to the east and Calea 13 Septembrie to the south.

STORYLINE:
Thousands of Bosnian Muslims celebrated Eid on Tuesday, to mark the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting.
Mosques in Sarajevo were too small to receive all believers, so prayers had to be held outdoors in the yards of the mosques.
As crowds gathered for morning Eid prayer, Sarajevans were surprised by the attendance of Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, who came to Bosnia to join people in worship of Eid, but also to show strong Turkish support and influence in this Balkan country.
Davotoglu, accompanied Muslim member of Bosnian presidency Bakir Izetbegovic, son of Yugoslavia 1990s war time Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic, as well as Bosnian Mufti Mustafa Ceric.
The Turkish foreign minister refused to make comments on current trouble spots in the Arab world, and only shared Eid greetings with hundreds of Sarajevans gathered around him in the Gazi-Husrefbegova mosque in Sarajevo.
Bosnian Muslims traditionally celebrate Eid with their families.
The celebration of Eid in Bosnia lasts for three days and ends with believers visiting the cemetery and praying for the dead.
In Romania, up to 2,000 muslims gathered at a stadium in central Bucharest to pray and celebrate the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
It was the first time that Muslims who reside in Romania had gathered in such large numbers to pray.
Turks, Tatars, Pakistanis and Arabs across the country joined the prayer.
Around 70,000 Muslims live in Romania, representing some 0.3 per cent of the country''s population, according to statistics.
More than 85 per cent of Romanians are Christian orthodox believers.

Protest Continues after Romanian Justice Minister Resigns Over Controversial Ordinance
Protest in Romania continued after Romanian Minister of Justice Florin Iordache resigned over a controversial ordinance on Thursday.
His decision came ten days after the emergency ordinance formulated by his ministry caused huge anti-government protests in the country.
The ordinance, which was repealed, would have decriminalized corruption under a certain amount of money.
A few days ago, Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said the Justice Ministry and Iordache would take responsibility for the poor communication and confusion related to the adoption of the emergency ordinance. However, even when announcing his resignation, Iordache stressed that all initiatives were legal and constitutional.
Meanwhile, protesters are not satisfied with the resignation of just the justice minister.
They are liars, all liars. [Politicians are] lying to us every single day. We will continue until they are willing to resign, said a protester.
In regards to how the chaos in Romania will end, Romanian Foreign Minister Teodor Melescanu said at a press conference on Thursday that the country will hold a large-scale public debate, as well as seek help from the European Union, for a resolution.
But the protest is predicted to continue in the near future. George Trandafil, a tour guide in Bucharest, explained his reason for cherishing democracy in Romania at the Revolution Square, which was renamed after the 1989 Romanian Revolution.
What do we have here? We have our fathers’ and mothers’ names. They died here. They died here 27 years ago. They died fighting for democracy, for freedom of speech, for liberty. It was their duty then. 27 years after, now it's our duty to fight to preserve what they've achieved, said George Trandafil.
Romania has seen mass protests after the coalition government adopted an emergency ordinance on amending criminal codes on Jan. 31. The opposition and protesters complained that the changes would likely prevent some politicians charged with crimes from being punished.
The authorities had to annul the ordinance on Sunday amid mass protests. However, demonstrations across the country did not stop, with protesters as well as opposition parties led by the Liberals putting forward new demands for the government to step down.
