The Romania 100 Platform, along with other civic organizations, filed on Monday a criminal complaint with the Prosecution Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice against the Gendarmerie chief and the Minister of Internal Affairs over the authorities' intervention at the anti-government rally organized on Friday, August 10, in Bucharest's Victoriei Square, leader of the Romania Together Movement, former Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos announced.
According to him, his political formation provides interested citizens a template for the criminal complaint, for them to be able to claim their rights and due explanations.
The former Prime Minister also said that "it is very important for all Romanian citizens that the competent authorities clarify whether there had been premeditation for everything that happened there, who is to blame for the aggressions, who is responsible for the provocations there. And without doubt, the Gendarmerie leaders, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Prime Minister too must take responsibility, because the Gendarmerie reports to them and they coordinate law enforcement interventions."
The leader of the Romania Together Movement pointed out that "it is not admissible in a democracy, that authorities who are required to ensure security and order and protect peaceful citizens turn against them."
