FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda In the capital Bucharest, some 7,000 people held a demonstration to voice their opposition to the plans on Sunday.
Demonstrators are against the plans by Canadian company Gabriel Resources to mine in the village of Rosia Montana in the region of Transylvania.
Reports say that the protesters chanted slogans such as “United we can save Rosia Montana.”
On the same day, similar rallies were also held in several cities, including Alba-Iulia, Cluj-Napoca, Brasov, Timisoara, Sibiu, and Craiova.
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.
The project would also involve using an average of 12,000 tons of cyanide a year to mine, which is 12 times more than the amount used in the mining industry in the entire European Union.
Experts have said the area holds an estimated 314 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver.
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 recent weeks of protests 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.
The committee has until October 20 to produce the report, as it will then be passed to the parliament ahead of the final vote on the bill.
