A little bit of context:The media's approach to the protests that started with about 2000 protesters on September 1st, and grew to over 20.000 by September 15th, was to downplay the scale of the protests, and ignore them as much as possible. You can imagine that 20.000 people are very hard to ignore, so in the last few days downplaying was their only option, but during the first few days you could hardly catch anything related to Rosia Montana on the 3 biggest TV news stations: Antena 3, Realitatea TV, and RomaniaTV. This attitude comes in contrast with how they handled the January 2012 protests (which were aimed against current president Traian Basescu and the PDL Government). As soon as there were rumors that protests might start, all news stations were ready to cover the situation 24/7. But now things have changed: the Opposition is now in power, and the news outlets are nowhere to be seen.About the 15th september protests:-Marching protest-peaceful, no incidents-over 20.000 participants (estimated by the gendarmerie)-aprox. 8km long march (estimated by Google Maps)-duration of the march: started at 19:00, arrived back around 23:00-ended back at the starting point (Piata Universitatii) with a street occupation until later in the night
