Several civic organizations announce that they will organize, on October 30, a march in Bucharest, at the 10th anniversary of the fire in the Collective club, resulting in the deaths of 65 people.

“October 30, 2015, the moment when Romania burned collectively. 65 lives were ended, 65 people with families, loves, professions. Stories. We do not know how many could have been saved if we did not” have everything “.

The event will start from the University Square in Bucharest, at 18.00, from where it will go to the Collective at 7:00 pm, according to the announcement.

The organizers of the march demand justice and claim that no one has paid for the tragedy since then.

“10 years later, corruption still kills in Romania. Nosocomial infections still make victims – babies die in hospitals. There is still no real chance of treatment and recovery for the great burns. 10 years after the tragedy from the Collective, for the non -special Romanians it seems that nothing has been changed. And nobody paid.

65 people died after the fire at the Collective club on October 30, 2015, when, during a concert held by the band Goodbye to Gravity, a fire broke out from several fireworks, who lit the sponge used for antifonation. 27 of them died that night, and the rest in hospitals, in the weeks that followed.

The Collective club operated without authorization for fire safety from ISU, showed the first information of the investigators.

In 2022, almost 7 years after the tragedy, the Bucharest Court of Appeal pronounced the final sentence in the collective file 1 – the one regarding the causes of the fire and the culprits. Among those convicted were Cristian Popescu Piedone, former mayor of Sector 4, and the owners of the Collective club. Piedone would be paid in 2023, after executing a year and a month of prison. Today, his son is the mayor of Sector 5.
