Romanian Government has rejected calls to resign after mass nationwide protests forced it to scrap a controversial decree that would have decriminalised some corruption offences. Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu has said that he had no plans to step down. Talking to media, he said only the Parliament could force him to go, but the coalition has a definite majority in the House.<br/><br/>Another leader of the ruling centre-left coalition and the chief target of the protesters' ire, Liviu Dragnea, has also said his party will fully support Grindeanu in the upcoming no-confidence motion. Dragnea, head of the Social Democrat Party (PSD), was convicted of electoral fraud in a 2012 referendum and was barred from taking a role in the cabinet. After the PSD and their liberal junior partners ALDE won the December elections, Dragnea hand-picked Sorin Grindeanu to head his cabinet.<br/><br/>Following the largest protests since the fall of communism in 1989, the Social Democrat-led government has revoked the decree, which would have shielded many politicians from prosecution for corruption. However, the nation wide protests are continuing demanding the resignation of the Government.<br/><br/>
