Romanian February 2017 Protests

Bucharest, February 2017
Over a hundred thousand protesters filled Victory Square for days after the Romanian government adopted an emergency law that decriminalizes corruption. [Wikipedia Page]
#neamtrezit is a pun in Romanian: it means both "we woke up" (ne-am trezit) and "awaken nation" (neam trezit). It's the hashtag that symbolizes the national conscience, together with #rezist, symbolizing public dissidence to corruption.
The headlight is a metaphor for the emergency law that was passed at midnight without Parliament consultation.
