Prime Minister Marcel Čolaku asks law enforcement officers to have “zero tolerance for all so-called explosions” that cause scandal and “confuse the beaches with the Maidan.”

  • “Since the weekend is starting and there will probably be a lot of tourists again at the sea resorts, I want to call on the law enforcement officers to be very strict in observing the law. People want law and order.
  • We need zero tolerance for all the so-called bombers who make a fuss and confuse beaches and civil rights with the Maidan in Romania. My full support to the police and gendarmes, the entire government and all the people of common sense in this country,” said Marcel Cholaku on Friday at the beginning of the government meeting.

We will remind you that over the last week there have been several scandals on the coast between tourists and rescuers or gendarmes and policemen. Such a fight took place in Kostinesti, where six unknown men beat two young people, and after the appearance of law enforcement officers, everything turned into a general fight between tourists, policemen and gendarmes, several men were handcuffed right on the beach.

The footage, which was made public, shows how after the appearance of the police everything turned into a general fight between the aggressors, policemen and gendarmes, several men are handcuffed right on the beach. The footage also shows a gendarme beating a tourist.

In Eforie-Nord, several tourists fought with lifeguards on the beach after being warned not to enter the sea due to the risk of drowning.

We will remind, in recent days, six people drowned in the resorts of the Romanian coast, where the rescuers raised a red and yellow flag.
