Ana Măiță, who was among the organizers of the protest, explained to HotNews.ro the reasons why they gathered at Piața Victoriei:

“We came to protest under the Government against the absolutely disgusting death of a young mother. A death that could have been 100% avoided if the medical system had done its job (…). We call on the authorities to cleanse this medical system of these people who cannot call themselves doctors,” said Ana Meitze.

At 7:45 p.m., the people gathered in Victory Square observed a moment of silence, and then, as before, chanted “Alexandra” and “Nu am aer” – a reference to one of the last messages he had given the young woman earlier. he died.
