The Boc government left, but the protests will go on. This is the message of the protesters in the University square, who continued to shout yesterday against the politicians: "Băsescu is next after Boc" and "USL, PDL, same garbage".
Claudiu Crăciun, Ph D in political sciences, who is protesting in the square, said: "The resignation of the Boc Cabinet shows that politics in Romania can't remain the same. Through their free and model mobilization, they have accelerated, perhaps even caused this resignation. But this is just one stage. The protesters are requesting the resignation of Traian Băsescu, who bears the responsibility for the decisions of this government. The protests will continue until spring, if necessary. The resignation of Traian Băsescu will open the road to the organization of the early presidential elections. The protesters don't support a specific party. They want the current president to leave and to have a choice again. We are getting ready to continue the protests, trying to make them more persuasive, more structured and more conducive to participation. People can have a say in the Romanian politics and this is a lesson and a warning to all the politicians, regardless of whether they are in power or in the opposition".
George Epurescu, the president of the "Romania without them" NGO, who has been present in the University Square ever since the protests began, said: "The resignation of the Boc government only came as the result of the street protests, given the fact that it has withstood so many votes of no-confidence. This is the first government which was taken down by protesters over the past 22 years. The government of Petre Roman was removed following the deal between president Ion Iliescu and the coal miners. The opposition is also making its own scenarios, so I don't expect much from them".
