Romanian President Pays a Visit to Rosia Montana, a Town Famed for Anti-Mining Demonstrations
In an unspecified time frame, Romanian President Nicusor Dan visited the mountain village of Rosia Montana, a UNESCO site known for its rich gold deposits and history. Accompanied by his family, Dan toured the Roman galleries, a significant part of the area's cultural heritage.
Rosia Montana gained international fame in 2013 due to a series of protests against aggressive gold mining practices. The organizers of these protests were mainly environmental activists, civil society groups, and local community members concerned about the potential ecological and cultural heritage impacts.
During his visit, Dan emphasized the need for real tourism projects for the UNESCO site, without specifying the purpose beyond this focus on tourism. The area's gold deposits, while historically significant, have previously been a point of controversy due to mining practices.
