Thousands of protesters marched in Romania ’s capital on Wednesday, demanding higher wages, measures to curb inflation and tax reductions for workers as the government pushes on with austerity to tackle the country's large budget deficit.
Protesters gathered outside government headquarters in Bucharest, then marched toward the Palace of Parliament. They honked horns and banged drums, and some held placards that read: “We want decent salaries!” or “Don’t hit those who save you,” the latter accompanied by a photo of an ambulance worker.
