Thousands of Social Democratic Party (PSD) supporters rallied in Bucharest on Saturday to decry alleged "abuses" by prosecutors against the ruling coalition.

The protest aimed to counter anti-government demonstrations after Social Democrats attempted to decriminalize corruption crimes with an emergency decree last year.

Following the popular outcry, the ruling party was forced to pull back the decree.
