The Gezi Park demonstrations changed social and political dynamics in
Turkey and its echoes will probably be witnessed in 2014, when Prime
Minister Erdogan will face two elections, local and presidential.
However, although similar demonstrations are now regular in Turkey,
their scale cannot be compared to the mass demonstrations that took
place in June. As far as Romania is concerned, demonstrations are still
ongoing. Over 7.000 people protested this latest Sunday in Bucharest
against the project meant to transform Rosia Montana into the biggest
cyanide-based gold exploration in Europe.
