Tens of thousands of Romanians braved the cold and returned to the streets of Bucharest last night, the 13th straight day of large-scale protests in the capital. The demonstrators called on the government to resign in the wake of an attempt by MPs to water down anti-corruption laws. Chants of "Thieves!
