Politician Ludovic Orban, a member of the opposition party, National Liberal Party (PNL), he was Minister of Transport from April 2007 – December 2008, he was trying to talk to the protesters present in the Union Square but they rejected him and they shouted „leave”. He left the Union square flanked by the police forces. People are trying to keep the protest clean with not any relations with politics. Union Square, Bucharest, Romania, Tuesday 17 January 2012.
