Approximately 200 employees of the Oltenia Energy Complex are protesting to request clarifications regarding the closure of coal-fired power plants and the future of the company.

Employees of the Oltenia Energy Complex organized a spontaneous protest in front of the company's headquarters in Târgu Jiu, dissatisfied with the uncertainties regarding the closure of coal-fired power plants. The president of the Oltenia Mine Energy Union, Gabriel Căldărușe, emphasized that the protesters are waiting for a clear response from the Ministry of Energy. Romania is negotiating in Brussels for a postponement of the closure of coal-fired power plants, and employees fear losing their jobs.
