On Tuesday, 4 June 2024, a mass protest took place in the Romanian county of Olt's capital city Slatina protesting the actions of bystanders who they claimed did not try to prevent harm or save a drowning victim and instead blamed the accident on him. They also protested the police department out of fears that they would come to the same conclusion after not doing due diligence to the investigation due to corruption.[1]
