Romania's Dec. 1 national holiday is usually one long party, complete with military parades and an air show. The government withdrew that proposal but in recent weeks has unveiled fresh plans to revamp the justice system. One proposal wants magistrates banned from publicly criticizing the government or lawmakers, which magistrates say will strip them of a legitimate voice. President Klaus Iohannis — an ally of the country's opposition — says he will use his constitutional power to oppose the plan. Alarmed by the new proposals, English teacher Lia Galic is among those who will protest Friday, in the central city of Sibiu.
