Protests in Bucharest for demolition of Cathedral Plaza published in issue 4465 page 1 at 2009-07-06 Approximately 60 faithful and representatives of NGOs have protested yesterday in front of the St. Joseph Cathedral in Bucharest, asking for the demolition of the Cathedral Plaza. The protesters and the representatives of the Save Bucharest Association and the Civic Group have threatened that they will organize a protest meeting every Sunday until the works on the building located near the St. Joseph Cathedral stop. The faithful were asked by the meeting's organizers to protest silently by taking a candle inside the Church. The protesters asked for the construction to stop because the building allegedly threatens the Cathedral that is part of the national patrimony. The protesters claimed that the authorization of such a construction close to a religious building represents another proof that real-estate deals are held in higher regard than faith. Mariana Duma, the president of the Bucharest Civic Group, pointed out that the civil society is protesting against the Ploiesti Court of Appeal's decision for the works to continue near the historical monument. by <mailto:[email protected]> Nine oClock (C) 2000-2007 Nine o'Clock ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."
