President Klaus Iohannis laid a wreath on Wednesday in memory of all the young people who lost their lives in the devastating fire that occurred four years ago in the Colectiv Club.

RRA Reporter Oana Bâlă: Several candles were lit in front of the building where the huge fire took place. President Klaus Iohannis also lit a candle and kept a moment of silence.

64 people died and nearly 200 were severely injured in the tragic event of 30 October 2015. Fire broke out during a concert attended by young people. Lots of severely injured were transferred afterwards in medical clinics abroad.

Several massive protests took place in Bucharest following Colectiv tragedy, with protesters having demanding resignation of all officials that should have insured club safety and emergency exits.
