Anti-gold mine protests heat up in Romania with tango flash mob in Bucharest

Protests against plans to mine gold at Rosia Montana in central Romania began in early September after the Romanian Government approved a law giving Canadian firm Gabriel Resources permission to begin extracting from the site.
Critics of the project say the use of cyanide in the mining process as well as the destruction of four mountains in the area are unacceptable environmental consequences of allowing Rosia Montana Gold Corporation (RMGC), majority owned by Gabriel, to mine the site.
