Florin Roman, of the National Liberal Party (PNL), and Dan Vîlceanu, an independent, got into an argument during a session of parliament and ended up in an all out brawl in the hall. Vîlceanu had apparently attempted to sit in the PNL benches, which is the political equivalent of trying to sit with the cool kids in the school cafeteria. However, this was not cool. The heated political engagement saw Vîlceanu and Roman exchange ‘harsh words’ and take the matter outside as God intended. ‘I escorted him out, but we didn't fight,’ said Vîlceanu.

Video of the fight shows Vîlceanu appearing to bite Roman’s face and (mostly off-frame) administer a knee to the nose, contrary to parliamentary procedure. The pair were found by PNL Deputy Florian Dumitru, Roman left with a bloody nose and Vîlceanu looming over him, having successfully demonstrated the weight of his argument. Roman said that he avoided retaliation out of respect for parliament, but that he would be escalating the matter to the police.
