A Romanian man was arrested after breaking into the Presidential Palace in Romania. He had mistaken it for his hotel while he was drunk on a night out in Bucharest.

He jumped across a fence and fled the Defence and Protection Service.
A Romanian man was arrested after breaking into the Presidential Palace in Romania. He had mistaken it for his hotel while he was drunk on a night out in Bucharest.
Built between 1984 and 1997 by the communist movement, the sprawling structure is world’s second-largest administrative building.

Built between 1984 and 1997 by the communists, the sprawling structure is world’s second largest administrative building in terms of surface area, after the US Pentagon.
The Guinness World Record is held by this building for having the most weight. It contains 700,000 tonnes steel and bronze, 35.3 million cubic feet (1,000,000 cubic meters) of marble and 3,500 tonnes crystal glass.
Sources told The Irish Sun that the Palace of Parliament is protected by The Securitatae, an ex-secret police of Nicolae Ceausescu.
