#2I'm not surprised at all at Boc. I'm glad he resigned, but I don't think there will be a big improvement any time soon.
For the rest of HN: there were mass demonstrations lately requesting his resignation; even the President asked him and he kept refusing. In the end it looks like he left.

#3Funny how all the regrets are AFTERWARDS.
Much easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

#4Is the article really suggesting that there might be a connection between ACTA and Boc's resignation ? Because that would be hilarious. (He resigned for an entirely different reason)

#5Romania (its administration) has proved many times that it cannot think by itself, it just fallows others, with the mentality if others say so who are we to say otherwise.
PS: I am romanian.

Sadly, the same is true for majority of governments in European countries.

No, the resignation came after months of pressure from the population and even the president. But I assume (I hope) ACTA has a part too :)

No, there is no link between ACTA and the resignation. The resignation is a political move trying to calm down the Romanian revolts started in January.

Yes, but I think the OP is saying that the article added an update to the end in a way that makes it seems like ACTA and his resignation are associated.
"Update: And... um... just like that, he's no longer Prime Minister, offering up his resignation today."

#10He signed because he was a puppet.
