Thousands of Romanians took to the streets in cities around the country Sunday to protest the justice minister's call for the removal of the country's chief anti-corruption prosecutor. Demonstrators of all ages gathered in the Romanian capital's bitterly cold weather for three hours to demand the resignation of Justice Minister Tudorel Toader. Toader called Thursday for Laura Codruta Kovesi, the chief prosecutor of Romania's National Anti-Corruption Directorate, to be fired. Gabriela Popa, who owns a transport company and was at the protest in Bucharest, said the justice minister should resign. "We are against politicians trying to avoid indictments by any means possible," she said.
