The resignation was do to protesters who said Ponta is corrupt, and that the inadequate safety standards were a result of that. This news comes after, the club owners themselves were arrested for manslaughter, due to them not following safety standards. The fire was a result of pyrotechnics, which set the foam insulation ablaze, and the death toll has since increased to 32, with nearly 200 others injured.
