The demonstrators brought with them the flags of Moldova and various banners. In addition, the protesters call for the dissolution of parliament and insist on holding new parliamentary elections in the country. The event was coordinated with the police, but the demonstrators had to change the route of their passage to avoid police provocations. According to Marina Tauber, vice-president of the Shor Party, on the eve of the demonstration, the security forces detained about a thousand citizens in the south of the country who were on their way to Chisinau to participate in an opposition demonstration. “People who are protesting against the highest inflation rate in Europe, utility bills they can’t pay, authorities can’t protest. They organize provocations, they spread rumors that we will break into parliament or government buildings. Our protest it’s peaceful,” Tauber said.
On Friday, the new cabinet of ministers headed by Dorin Rechan announced the start of work on the denunciation of part of the CIS agreements previously signed by the republic. For her part, the country’s president, Maia Sandu, insists that the Moldovan Parliament should legislatively expand the powers of the country’s special services. Such a measure, according to Sandu, is designed to ensure security in the country in the context of protest activities by opposition forces that allegedly threaten the stability of the state and the work of the current authorities.
