Summary/Abstract: On 14th June in the morning, around 11.30, when the miners’ cohorts, waving their bats, invaded Bucharest, I was walking down Magheru Boulevard, heading to the Union. I met two colleagues, a property man, Bordeianu and Vasile Neagoe (a coward for a fact) a production manager. They were also heading to the Union. When we reached the traffic light in front of Nottara Theatre, we wanted to cross the boulevard towards Eva shop. The miners were zealously marching on the middle of the boulevard, entirely blocking it.
