ADVERTISEMENTRomanian miners are marching to the capital to protest against the proposed layoff of 800 staff. The workers from state-owned energy company Oltenia Energy Complex began the 300km walk from Targu Jiu to Bucharest on Monday.
The CEO said the decision came as a result of falling demand for coal-based energy. The Oltenia Energy Complex reported losses of almost 200 million Euros in 2015.
