Abstract

Protests have continued in Romania despite the government agreeing to withdraw a controversial piece of legislation that would have weakened the country’s anti-corruption laws. Diana Popescu writes that while media coverage has tended to portray the protests as a popular show of unity against the government, the situation is more complex in reality. She highlights the story of one protester, ‘Mrs Lucretia’, whose efforts to try and heal the divisions in Romanian society have resonated with many of the public.
