Romania: Prime Minister Ousted Amid Growing Protests

HeadlineNov 05, 2015

In Romania, Prime Minister Victor Ponta has resigned amid massive protests over a night club fire that killed 32 people. Following his resignation Wednesday, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Bucharest to demand an end to corruption. One protester told Al Jazeera, “If the system doesn’t remove corrupt people by itself, people will make their own justice. If in 1989 people fought for liberty, in 2015 we are fighting for justice.”
