FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Rallies were held in several cities on Sunday, including in the capital, Bucharest, where demonstrators blocked a major road to voice their opposition to the project, which would create Europe’s biggest gold mine.
Demonstrators are against the plans made by Canadian company Gabriel Resources to mine in the village of Rosia Montana in the region of Transylvania.
The protesters marched past government headquarters chanting, “Your treason is measured in gold!”
A similar rally was held in the second-largest city of Cluj-Napoca, where thousands demanded that the 2,000-year-old mining area be added to UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Critics warn that the project would damage the environment, as the Canadian company plans to destroy four mountaintops and wipe out three outlying villages in the area.
Experts have said that the area holds an estimated 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver.
The Canadian project would also involve using an average of 12,000 tons of cyanide a year to mine the precious metals, which is 12 times more than the amount used in the mining industry in the entire European Union.
The demonstrations erupted on September 1, after the Romanian government approved a draft law granting national interest status to the Canadian project.
The government gave the approval after it received a bigger stake in the project by the Canadian company, which has been waiting 14 years to receive permit for the mine.
The protests have forced the Romanian government to postpone a parliamentary vote on the bill until November. Prime Minister Victor Ponta has agreed to form a special committee to examine the project.
