Farmers in Lungulețu protested in solidarity with a local man detained for irrigating crops with water from Dâmbovița, which is banned by the authorities.

The protest by farmers in Lungulețu was sparked by the detention of a farmer who irrigated his crop with water from the Dâmbovița river, an action considered illegal by Apele Române. Locals gathered outside the town hall to express their displeasure at the restrictions, arguing that water is a common good, not state property. The authorities have imposed fines for using water from the river and farmers are demanding measures to protect their irrigation rights.
