Romania: Prime Minister Ousted Amid Growing Protests 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
In Romania, Prime Minister Victor Ponta has resigned amid massive
protests over a night club fire that killed 32 people. Following his
resignation Wednesday, tens of thousands of people took to the streets
of Bucharest to demand an end to corruption. One protester told Al
Jazeera, "If the system doesn't remove corrupt people by itself, people
will make their own justice. If in 1989 people fought for liberty, in
2015 we are fighting for justice."
