"The worldwide wave of protest is spilling over into Romania, where resistance against corporate environmental destruction is taking off in a big way. For eight consecutive days, people in Romania have been protesting a planned mining project in Rosia Montana, a mountain village in the West of the country. The demonstrations are directed against threatened environmental destruction, but the protests also express distrust of the government, of parties, and of the political establishment in general. There is already talk of a “Romanian Autumn”. The worldwide struggle against corporate domination and political collusion has opened a new front."
