About 20,000 people took to the streets, demanding for the resignation of all cabinet members. Accusing them of corruption and poor safety precautios tor the death tolls, saying there was only a single door exit to evacuate the club.
Today Dragnea, announced the imminent resignation.
“Victor Ponta is giving up his mandate. Someone needs to assume responsibility for what has happened. This is a serious matter and we promise a quick resolution of the situation,” he told reporters in parliament. “You probably noticed thousands of people last evening and what they demanded.”
