Bucharest Protest Announced Against "Economic Assassins" and Tax Hikes

Bucharest, Romania – A protest is scheduled to take place tomorrow, June 23, 2025, at 6:00 PM in front of the Ministry of Public Finance in Constitution Square, Bucharest. The event aims to voice opposition against what organizers describe as "economic assassins." A video circulating online features a speaker urging citizens to join the demonstration. He states that the protest is against those who "want to increase taxes" and "rob Romanians," while allowing "foreigners who entered the Romanian market" to maintain their privileges untouched. The speaker used strong rhetoric, referring to a "coalition of betrayal and national destruction" that seeks to "suck the blood of Romanians" and "destroy our country and nation." He called for a large turnout to send a signal against "these neofascists who are skinning us alive." The protest is framed as a stand against current economic policies and perceived threats to national interests.
