Anti mining protesters form human chain around world’s second largest building in Romania’s capital

It may be the second biggest building in the world, but the People’s Palace wasn’t large enough to stop anti-mining protesters forming a human chain around its boundary fence on Saturday, September 21.......

Marches spurred on by live classical music, a flash tango dance mob and cycling rallies are among the incarnations of the daily protest movement, which began in early September after the government approved a draft bill paving the way for the mine’s operation.
The bill would allow Rosia Montana Gold Corporation (RMGC), majority owned by Gabriel, to begin extracting gold from the central Romanian region using cyanide mining to leech the metal. The draft law needs approval from the parliament.
The use of cyanide as well as the landscape destruction wrought by the project are chief concerns of the mine’s critics.
