The protestors, gathered around the fountain near the Institute of Architecture, are carrying a banner with a caricature of former president Ion Iliescu behind bars. The left side of the banner shows the text "This is the father of all the burglars from Ramania," while the right side says "Iliescu-guilty for the death of 1200 people of the romanian revolution".

Another banner states "There is corruption in Romania, but there are no corrupt."

A group of 15 youths joined the protestors carrying posters with the faces of those exposed by the communist hunting CNSAS. They are walking among the crowds without saying a word.

The decision made by the Constitutional Court Thursday, dubbing the functioning of CNSAS unconstitutional, determined several Romanian NGOs to demand the dismissal of the Constitutional Court judges as well as the Ombudsman, who failed to represent the interests of the people in this case.

The protestors are asking CNSAS members to immediately publish the information they might posses regarding potential communist collaboration by magistrates, including judges of the Constitutional Court.

The protestors say they will not leave until their requests are met.
