Action by civil society to ask Bolojan to change the justice laws. “It's at kilometer 0 of the Capital”
An enormous digital banner, with the image of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan and the message “Modify the laws of justice”, can be seen these days on the facade of the Cocor store in Bucharest. Similar banners can be found in other key points of the Capital. The initiative belongs to the Declic community, and the campaign is meant to put pressure on the authorities, Cătălina Hopârteanu, representative of the NGO, told HotNews.
The huge message, digitally displayed, with Bolojan's image on the Cocor store was promoted on Saturday on the Facebook page of the NGO Declic.
“I put the message on the COCOR store in the capital: “Mr. Bolojan, Romania is calling you! Amend the Justice Laws!”. It's time for the prime minister to take action,” Declic representatives said in the description accompanying the post.
Contacted by HotNews, Declic representatives explained the objective of the campaign.
The message has been displayed since Tuesday, December 16. The NGO has received approval to display it until Monday, December 22. He is not the only one. Similar banners can also be found on Magheru Boulevard and at Amzei Square, Cătălina Hopârteanu told HotNews.
“Our campaign is linked to the petition through which we collected 200,000 signatures and through which we ask the prime minister to amend the justice laws. The same message was also displayed in Victoriei Square two evenings ago during the coalition meeting, where there were almost 1000 people and they raised 3 large canvases of tens of meters”, said Hopârteanu.
Asked why this location was chosen, the Declic representative argued that it is “at kilometer 0 of the Capital”.
“It is big as a display space and over time we have tried in several places to display our boards. It is not only at the Cocor store, there is also a board on Magheru, there is also one at Amzei Market,” she said.
“Many times we encountered the situation that the authorities did not want to display messages, which were addressed to the politicians in power, in fact, when Nicolae Ciucă was prime minister, they even took down the panels displaying Mr. Ciucă's special pension”, said Cătălina Hopârteanu.
Who pays for the banner
When asked what is the source of funding for these banners, Cătălina Hopârteanu said that all the money comes from donations.
“Members' donations are what support us and help us do such actions. And this time the source of funding comes from members' donations. We collected money for this banner, for the one in Magheru and the one in Piața Amzei and for the canvases that we brought to Piața Victoriei. There are hundreds of people who have donated, ordinary people who have constantly donated for our actions. With their help, we end up raising the money we need to put pressure on the authorities and to succeed in the campaigns”, said Cătălina Hopârteanu.
