Romania’s Parliament cancelled a no-confidence vote on Thursday after a father whose payments for his disabled child had been cut by the Romanian government leapt from a balcony in the parliament in protest against the decision. He was not seriously injured. A loud thud reverberated in the chamber after the man, Adrian Sobaru – identified by the country’s public television station as one of its engineers – hit the benches shortly after Prime Minister Emil Boc greeted the lawmakers. As he jumped, he could be heard shouting: ‘Boc, you’ve taken away the rights of our children’. Mr Sobaru, who suffered fractures to the face, and other non life-threatening injuries, was able to get into the parliament because he works as an electrician for the national television station. He then shouted “ Liberty and Justice” as he was taken to hospital. He was also wearing a T-shirt with the slogan ‘You’ve killed our future’, according to reports.
