Tens of thousands stage anti-govt. protest in Moldova
Tens of thousands of demonstrators have held a massive protest rally against Moldova's pro-Western leadership amid public anger over its incapability to pay salaries and pensions.
Some 20,000 people attended the massive rally in front of Moldova's Parliament in the capital Chisinau on Sunday.
The angry demonstrators accused the government of corruption and held placards reading “down with the thieves!"
A large number of demonstrators, who erected dozens of tents in the area, said they would stay camped out near the government building.
The government has also deployed a large number of security forces in a bid to guard the country's main institutes and to prevent the rally from turning violent.
The latest protest rally was organized by two pro-Russia parties which are opposed to the government's political and economic policies.
Also on Sept. 6, tens of thousands of Moldovans protested government policies and called for snap elections.
The latest demonstration comes days after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it would not negotiate a new loan agreement with the Moldovan leadership.
On Sept. 22, an IMF mission started a two-week visit to Moldova, a day after the country's central bank governor Dorin Dragutanu resigned over a massive corruption scandal involving a billion-dollar missing sum.
A former Soviet state of 3.5 million people, and located between Ukraine and Romania, Moldova is one of Europe’s poorest countries.
