I have already mentioned earlier that I was somehow upset by some radicalized youth, which mixed their anger for stolen elections with their personal political preferences. The protest is about elections, and not about unification with Romania. There is more than a half of the population that does not share these views. By shouting “united with Romania” they have offended and rebuffed many other young people which are also not happy with the Communist government, and which are Russian-speaking.
However, the second ugly thing is that the crowd got out of control, and in its anger against the ruling party have gone astray. The pictures below show the second shameful face of these protests – the looting of the official buildings. Before I post the pictures, I would like to say that everyone is to be blamed among political forces – ruling party for bringing the youth to that edge (were they that naïve thinking they just can humiliate everyone?), and for not letting the police do its duty and defend the buildings (riot police stayed in the back of the Parliament while some protesters looted the building and put it on fire). It looked like they did it on purpose, an idea which gets more convincing as then Communists leaders tried to drawn the issue of stolen elections and replace it on the agenda with the one of violent protests.
The opposition parties got their share of the blame – they were so undecided for some time that some youth just got out of control. Anyway, it is a shame, however for the balanced and objective coverage of that event it should be revealed.
Vandalism…
More vandalism..
Young Looters
Goodies dropping from the Parliament windows
Very scrupulous looter – what’s in the safe?
Nice thingy… wanna buy it?- ghm… nope, it’s got MP’s fingerprints all over it.
Hopefully nobody is walking under that window
That seems to be a good day – porno CDs from the MPs offices.
Improvised flea-market, I guess they’re waiting for the MPs to come and buy that back.
The printer is for pure revolutionary purposes.
He went for the bigger fish…
