Protesters gathered in Romania [2]'s capital Bucharest late on Monday for a second day of protests against the government's support for a plan to open Europe [3]'s biggest open-cast gold mine.

 

 

The more than 1,000 protesters were surrounded by riot police as they sat down on the street, tapping plastic bottles on the ground, chanting "United we will save Rosia Montana."
