Thousands protest against gold mine plans in Romania

Carrying banners reading “I love nature, not cyanide” and “Corruption equals cyanide”, they called for the resignation of Prime Minister Victor Ponta, whose government last month adopted a bill clearing the way for the open-cast mine.
The draft law still has to be approved by parliament.
Around 6,000 protesters also rallied in Cluj, the major Transylvanian city, and around 900 in Brasov, police said. Protests were also staged in several other towns.
