Some 200 barricaded themselves Monday morning in a coal mine of Jiu Valley in western Romania, in a protest against the possible bankruptcy of the Hunedoara Energy Complex (CEH). They request the presence of energy minister Victor Grigorescu.
Paduraru vowed to join the protesters in the mine, and come out just to talk to the next shifts.
CEH has approximately 6,300 employees in four coal mines and two thermal power plants. The company is currently insolvent. AGERPRES
