The author proves that Romania has changed very positively over the years of EU membership.There was the establishment of democratic institutions,despite the fact that it is a complex country with a post-communist past and a high level of corruption. Romanian civil society believed in the possibility of change for the better, but the latest developments regarding the dismissal of the head of the Anticorruption Directorate, changes to the law on the status of judges and prosecutors,the Romanian Code of Criminal Procedure may call into question previous achievements.This is indicated by thousands of demonstrations with protest calls against government actions that took place in the capital and in many cities. If the authorities ignore the "voice of the people", then it is unknown what to expect in the future.One of the scenarios is the destabilization of the situation in the country due to the radicalization of a society that is already beginning to manifest itself,and another – further disillusionment of the population and the return of the population to a state of hopelessness.Both options are not good for the public, and this is understood in Bucharest, Europe and the United States.
