"Rosia and Pungesti, Two Romanian Hearts" – October 23 to Ninth Sunday March in Bucharest

I should mention that I continued to see a small number of people apparently gathering around the fountain each evening when I checked the webcam overlooking the area, but no other banners or any other signs that they were actually protesting, plus that on some evenings they scattered particularly early as well.
