Don't miss today's edition of the "Viva Historia" podcast with Dragoș Mușat and Mădălin Hodor, in which they discuss the events of June 13-15, 1990 and how they changed the course of Romanian history. The June 13-15, 1990 mining raid represents the events that took place between June 13-15, 1990 in Bucharest, when the police, supported by the miners, intervened in force against the protesters in University Square and the civilian population. It was considered the bloodiest, most brutal in style and scope of all the miners' actions. The number of victims is controversial. Officially, according to the records from the parliamentary commissions of inquiry, the number of injured is 746 and the number of dead is six: four dead by shooting, one dead after a heart attack and one person stabbed. Viorel Ene, the president of the "Mining Victims Association", stated that there are documents, testimonies of doctors, of people from the Domnești and Străulești cemeteries, and that the real figure of the dead is over 100. Internally, the mining raid of June 1990 represented a period of lack of press freedom through the unilateral presentation on the only television of that time (only from the point of view of the power of the FSN), the prevention through threat of the appearance of the "România Liberă" newspaper. The headquarters of the opposition parties were devastated. The power of the FSN failed to generate evidence with which any of the arrested persons could be convicted in court. Acting as a force independent of the state, the miners replaced the law enforcement forces and, implicitly, undermined the state, and the consequence was the action against the state in the next three mining raids (against the government of Petre Roman in September 1991 and the government of Radu Vasile in January 1999 and February 1999). The external effects were catastrophic, Romania was excluded from any financing of international bodies and the assistance agreement with the IMF was interrupted. Thousands and thousands of young people left the country.
