Two participants in the farmers’ protest were removed by gendarmes from a demonstration against extremism

Two men who had reportedly also participated in Tuesday’s farmers’ protest were removed by gendarmes on Sunday from Victory Square, where a peaceful demonstration against extremism was taking place. According to the MEDIAFAX reporter at the scene, the two were spotted by law enforcement officers and escorted out of the area so as not to disrupt the protest.

Images show the moment they leave Victory Square accompanied by gendarmes. Approximately 60 people—young people, adults and elderly individuals—gathered in the central median, carrying placards as well as Romanian and European Union flags.

The demonstration was organized in response to Tuesday’s farmers’ protest, during which, according to the authorities, several agitators allegedly infiltrated the crowd and became violent toward law enforcement officers.

Following last Tuesday’s protest, 47 people were detained and ten gendarmes were injured. In addition, the windshield of a gendarmerie vehicle was smashed. When? The time reference contains a possible inconsistency; the text states that the farmers’ protest took place on Tuesday, while the demonstration against extremism took place on Sunday.
