MEDIAFAX 35. 2013 - Protestele pentru Roșia Montană scot zeci de mii de oameni în stradă. USL începe să se destrame, iar privatizarea CFR Marfă eșuează

In 2013, significant political and social events unfolded in Romania, including widespread protests against the Rosia Montana mining project and the failed privatization of CFR Marfa. The USL alliance began to show signs of strain, particularly between Victor Ponta and Crin Antonescu. Protests erupted in major cities, with thousands opposing the mining project due to environmental concerns. Despite initial government support for the project, it ultimately failed to pass in Parliament. Meanwhile, the privatization of CFR Marfa, which had been initiated by Ponta's government, collapsed when the winning bidder could not finalize the deal. These events marked a pivotal year in Romania's political landscape, with MEDIAFAX covering the developments extensively.
