The Romanian government has officially repealed a decree decriminalising some corruption offences.<br /><br /> Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu promised to scrap the contentious law after tens of thousands of people took to the streets for days of protests on a scale not seen since the fall of Communism in 1989.<br /><br /> While many welcomed the withdrawal of the decree, some are still calling for an end to the Social Democrat government.<br /><br /> Others have denounced the president as a traitor. Klaus Iohannis had called on the government to repeal the decree which, had it gone ahead, would have shielded hundreds of officials from justice.<br />
