Thousands of Romanians rose up in Bucharest against the EU and the government
More than ten thousand Romanians protested on October 2 in the Romanian capital Bucharest against government policies, energy prices and falling living standards.
Protesters gathered at the famous University Square, where the most important part of the 1989 revolution took place, from where they went to Victoria Square, where the headquarters of the Romanian government is located.
Protesters marched with Romanian tricolors and displayed posters with clear messages: “I want a nationalist government”, “Ro-EXIT” (Romanian exit from the EU), “EU is a prison of the nation”, “NATO is an army of globalists”, “WHO is a criminal organization” " and so on.
The protesters demanded the resignation of the government and President Klaus Iohannis, and accused the authorities in Bucharest of impoverishing the population due to the lack of measures to protect citizens from the energy crisis.
The leader of the protests at Victoria Square in Bucharest, Senator Diana Sosoaka, before the start of the protest, sent a list of grievances against the government, which stated the following:
“Thus, we bring to your attention the basic demands of the Romanian people:
1. Respect for the Romanian Constitution, which takes precedence over European legislation, especially since Romania has signed both the EU Accession Treaty and other treaties and conventions as a sovereign state, according to Art. 1 of the Constitution:
Romania is a national state, sovereign and independent, unitary and indivisible.
In Romania, respect for the Constitution, its supremacy and laws is mandatory.
2. Returning energy prices (electricity and gas) as close as possible to the price of production (maximum markup of 5%), given that it is produced locally, and national interests are a priority and the energy sector is strategic.
3. Nationalization of energy companies and ending the sale of state-owned energy producing companies, as well as other state-owned companies.
4. Nationalization of all natural resources of Romania.

8. Taxation of transnational corporations and supervision of their profit-generating activities to ensure their correct assessment and prohibition of profit-making.
