Crowds wave Romanian flags outside the government headquarters, during a protest in Bucharest, Romania, early Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017. Romania's government adopted an emergency ordinance late Tuesday to decriminalize official misconduct, dealing a blow to a yearlong drive to curb corruption in the eastern European country. Justice Minister Florin Iordache said the measure will decriminalize cases of official misconduct in which the financial damage is valued at less than 200,000 lei ($47,800). Tens of thousands of Romanians protested against the ordinance in recent weeks, saying it would weaken anti-graft efforts. (AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda)
