Protest in Izvor Park: Some of the protesters left for the Central Detention Center to support Călin Georgescu

Some of the participants in the protest organized on Saturday in Izvor Park in Bucharest headed, after the demonstration ended, toward the Central Detention Center of the Capital City Police. The protesters wanted to show their support for Călin Georgescu, a former presidential candidate who is being held in pre-trial detention.

Following the group's movement, the Traffic Police imposed traffic restrictions in the areas crossed by the participants: Unirii Boulevard, from Unirii Square toward Constitution Square; United Nations Boulevard, from Opera Square toward Izvor Street; Libertăţii Boulevard, from 13 Septembrie Road toward Constitution Square; Sf Ilie Street, from the intersection with 11 Iunie Street.

Georgescu is being investigated in a fraud case in which the damage estimated by investigators amounts to 1.1 million euros. His pre-trial detention has generated public reactions and mobilization among his supporters.

The authorities are monitoring the situation and maintaining road safety measures to ensure that the movement proceeds in an orderly manner.
