Thousands protest in Romania over high-level corruption
(20 Jun 2018) Anti-government protesters in Romania briefly scuffled with police on Wednesday, angry about new legislation they say will facilitate high-level corruption.
Thousands of people assembled outside government offices waving Romanian, US and European flags.
They called the ruling Social Democratic Party the red plague. Smaller protests occurred in other cities including Brasov, Sibiu, Timisoara and Iasi.
Earlier in the day, noisy protesters gained access to the Parliament building, escorted by lawmakers from the opposition Save Romania Union party.
Premier Viorica Dancila had been making a speech there about Romania's upcoming presidency of the European Union.
The protests came after lawmakers late on Monday approved revised criminal justice statutes that critics have called a setback to prosecuting corruption.
One protester, Stefan Gurui, a 50-year-old recruitment consultant said laws were voted at night, at a very fast pace to protect tax evaders and corrupt people.
On Thursday a verdict is expected in the trial of Liviu Dragnea, the Social Democrat leader, who is charged with official misconduct. He denies wrongdoing.
Protesters sat outside the office of Dragnea, who cannot be prime minister due to a 2016 conviction for vote-rigging. Dragnea declined to comment.
Also on Wednesday, a Romanian court sentenced former Transportation Minister Dan Sova to three years in prison for influence peddling.
Prosecutors said he was paid 100-thousand euros (116-thousand US dollars) to persuade the manager of a state-owned heating company to illegally sign a three-year contract with a specific legal firm, bypassing internal company rules. The ruling is final.

Inside Romania’s Monument to Megalomania
We’re having an amazing time, filming “The Best of Romania” for a new TV show (which will air with our new series on public television this fall). In this video clip, step with me into the biggest building in Europe — the gargantuan palace of the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. Our job today: to take the script (below) and cover it with beautiful images or me doing “on cameras” where it’s difficult to “cover.”
We said this about the palace in our script:
Thriving as it is today, Bucharest's Old Town was lucky to survive the communist period. Most of the historical center was wiped out by the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu so he could build a grandiose new town perfect for a megalomaniac.
From uneducated peasant roots, Ceaușescu rose through the communist ranks to take power in 1965. During his 24 years in power, Ceaușescu's ego ballooned. Later, in the dark days of the 1980s, he became addicted to massive projects without budgets, creating a cult of personality inspired by the nearly deified dictators of Communist China and North Korea.
In six frenzied years in the 1980s, after an inspiring visit to North Korea, he ordered the city to rip out 80 percent of Bucharest’s historical center — that’s tens of thousands of houses, schools, and churches. In its place, Ceaușescu created his enormous new Civic Center — with wide boulevards, miles of fountains, stone-faced apartment blocks, and a Pyongyang aesthetic.
The culmination of Ceaușescu's master plan was a palace fit for a megalomaniac. At around four million square feet, and with more than a thousand rooms, the Palace of the Parliament is the largest building in Europe.
Ceaușescu, throwing resources at his pet project like a crazed pharaoh, literally starved his people to build his dream. From 1983 to 1989 thousands of laborers worked on it 24/7. When it finally opened in 1994 — five years after Ceaușescu died — the Romanian people, whose food had been rationed for years to help pay for the palace, were both wonder struck and repulsed by this huge and opulent edifice.
Ceaușescu planned the perfect balcony from which to deliver speeches...while looking down a boulevard grand enough to match his ego. This palace, and similar projects around the downtrodden country, created a powerful anti-Ceaușescu sentiment.
In late 1989, the winds of change swept the Eastern Bloc. Armed revolution spread across Romania. An angry populace rose up. They arrested their dictator and shot him on Christmas Day.
Today their dictator is a distant memory, and Romania has joined the European Union. While its challenges are big, the country is moving in the right direction. Joining local families on a sunny Saturday morning in the park, you feel optimistic — and that its people are counting on a promising future.
This is Day 55 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Romania, and beyond. Find more at
