Protesters in Bucharest have condemned a government
decision to decriminalise some misconduct offences, in one of the
biggest demonstrations since the 1989 revolution.
Tens of thousands of angry Romanians claim the passing of
an emergency decree on Tuesday will allow corrupt politicians to escape
justice.
The change in the law will decriminalises official
misconduct in cases where the financial damage is less than 200,000 lei
(44,000 euros).
“It’s an incredible manifestation of disappointment from these people
who feel that they have been cheated. They have been deceived by the
government. This Socialist government came to power only one month ago
and in one month they managed to have 100.000 people unprecedented since
the revolution on the streets against it.”
