During the protest organized by the trade union confederations in Victory Square, the Bucharest gendarmes detected several men who were not official participants, one of whom had a knife and a pair of pliers on him.

They were carrying placards and intended to join the protest, even though they were not union members. During a preventive body search, one of the men was found with a knife and a multifunctional tool with a sharp blade, prohibited items at public gatherings, which could have endangered the safety of the participants. The man was taken to the police for further investigation.

The Capital Gendarmerie reminded that it is illegal for individuals to participate in public gatherings while carrying weapons or objects that can cause violence. Additionally, the gendarmes called for peaceful behavior and adherence to the instructions of law enforcement to ensure a safe protest.
