The Romanian Parliament on Tuesday approved by a vote of 291-0 an order to scrap the decree that would weaken anti-corruption measures. The vote follows mass protests that erupted across the country on January 31. Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu, under public pressure at home and facing criticism from international bodies, withdrew the decree on February 5. Despite this, protests have continued against a government many still see as corrupt. Grindeanu, commenting this week in Brussels, said, "The civic part of our society reacted on this topic. It’s a very good thing for the country."
