The Romanian capital, Bucharest, has seen one of its largest ever anti-government protests after a decree was passed that could free dozens of officials jailed for corruption.
A crowd of at least 150,000 was reported outside government offices late on Wednesday and rallies took place in other towns and cities.
As the protesters dispersed, a group of football supporters threw firecrackers at police who responded with tear gas.
The decree was passed late on Tuesday.
