Oierii se dezic de protest și îl acuză pe Ciobanul Ionică pentru organizare. Acesta se apără: „Noi nu am venit să batem pe nimeni”

Shepherds have distanced themselves from a violent protest outside the government, blaming Ioan Sterp for its organization. The National Federation of Sheep and Goat Breeders (ROMOVIS) stated they did not authorize the protest, despite acknowledging the farmers' grievances. Sterp defended himself, claiming infiltrators caused the violence, while insisting farmers only wanted to voice their concerns. He announced plans to remain in Bucharest and threatened to block the country if their demands were unmet. The protest escalated into violence, with clashes between protesters and police, resulting in injuries and arrests. ROMOVIS emphasized their desire to avoid violence and called for government accountability.
