A DIVIDED COUNTRY

 It all started on 18th January with the Emergency Ordinance regarding the reprieve law as well as other modifications brought to the Penal Code that were published in the Official Monitor.


 It all started on 18th January with the Emergency Ordinance regarding the reprieve law as well as other modifications brought to the Penal Code that were published in the Official Monitor.

       On the 19th January, the first protest against the reprieve law took place at the Government, some politicians pretending that this Ordinance was given overnight so that some politicians should not be imprisoned. The organization of the protest was made on Facebook and these marches gathered more and more people. These protests spread out in many other important towns (Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Arad, Sibiu) .
       Unfortunately at these marches there were recorded some incidents, too, and tens of people were brought to the police-station. Even if important analysts demonstrated that the enactment procedure cannot be censored, that the changes were made according to the Constitution of the country, these protests are still on even today.
       More’s the pity, the country remains divided in two, some people protesting at the Government, some at Cotroceni even if RCC decided that the Government worked by the law.
       Today, the 9th of February, the Minister of Justice resigned and the Prime Minister put up for an interim Minister.
