Interesting, comprehensive article. But upon clicking on the link I thought it'll be about Mineriadă. Still, fascinating writing and I'm waiting for the next parts.

OMG man! you amaze me with every comment you make. You really know about the "Mineriadă"? :) Chapeau bas my friend for the knowledge.
This first article I considered it has to be a little bit about the way they confiscated the Revolution and the first elections because I need to explain how the political forces coagulated up until today. On the second one, the Mineriade phenomenon (there were multiple events) will be explained in detail. You can imagine we had them up until '97?! Miners coming by the thousands to Bucharest :))) crazy times. The thing is that that concept is still roaming in the air as the socialist brought more than 150.000 people in Bucharest two weeks ago, in order to protest against "abuse in the Justice system" :)) you can't imagine what was there and the way the people were threatening the Justice system "to leave the corrupts alone" as "everybody steals this and that but important is that now they are for the country". Mind blowing stupidity and manipulated folks, brought even from 500 km away, North of the country (20-24 hours round trip), just to show that they are many and that they can bend the laws by their own will. Socialists and their thinking are still here and that's why I started to show in these articles how they managed to remain in the game even almost 30 years from the Collapse. Thanks, man!
I had to google the name :) But yes, I've read about clashes between Jiu Valley miners and students if I'm not mistaken. I only know that there were a few, with most violent one in 1990, plus some background, so I'd be glad to know more.
