RALLY<\/strong> Several thousands took to the streets of Targoviste in southern Romania to participate in a support rally for the PSD-ALDE cabinet, staged by the Social Democrats. We recall that for almost 4 weeks, Romania saw large-scale anti-government protests sparked off by attempts by Sorin Grindeanu\u2019s government to amend the penal legislation through an ordinance. Bucharest and other several cities have also seen support rallies. The ordinance had no effects because it was repealed by the government and later by Parliament.<\/p>\n
