EU Flag, Counter-Protest and Forests – February 18 to 28 in Bucharest

Picking up from where the previous report left off, I’ll start this one with Saturday, February 18, when children and parents were again called to Victory Square. Up to 500 people attended, children writing messages with chalk on the pavement, one of the messages also being created with flowerpots after being written with large letters. […]

Not that there haven’t been events worth mentioning during this time as well, there have been a few notable ones even earlier this month, including the fact that the Ministry of Culture submitted the documents to nominate Rosia Montana for inclusion […]
