==Demands== The three main demands of the protesters were as follows.<ref>[[James Baker]]'s speech in the [[United States Senate]], quoted by ''[[România Liberă]]'', 19 May 1990</ref> # The eighth point of the [[Proclamation of Timișoara]]: leading members of the [[Romanian Communist Party]] and the [[Securitate]] not to be allowed to be candidates in the elections. # Access to the state-owned mass media for all candidates, not only FSN candidates. A 1975 law of Ceaușescu (which was not yet repealed) allowed the President of Romania to directly control Romanian Television and Radio. # Postponing of the elections, since the only party that had the resources for the campaign was FSN. The protesters also disagreed with the official doctrine of the FSN that the Revolution was only "anti-Ceaușescu" and not "anti-Communist" (as [[Silviu Brucan]] declared in an interview given to the British newspaper ''[[The Guardian]]''). They also supported faster reforms, shock-therapy to usher in an unregulated free market, and a liberal-style democracy (Ion Iliescu argued for a "Swedish-style" socialism and an "original democracy", considering [[multi-party system]] as being antiquated<ref>[[Vladimir Tismăneanu]], [http://www.jurnalul.ro/articol_27360/semnificatiile_revolutiei_romane__iii_.html "Semnificaţiile revoluţiei române"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303203519/http://jurnalul.ro/articol_27360/semnificatiile_revolutiei_romane__iii_.html |date=2016-03-03 }}, [[Jurnalul Național]]</ref>). After the elections the protests continued, the main goal being the removal of the government.
