| Tens of thousands demand early election in Moldova |
| 2016-01-25 |
| [Iran Press TV] Over 40,000 demonstrators in Moldova have taken to the streets demanding an early election. The protesters braved the freezing cold winter in the capital Chisinau on Sunday to express their discontent with the government. While the temperature was at -10 Celsius, people were seen holding placards with pictures that read, "Enough is enough" and were heard shouting; "We want the country back!" and "Unity, citizens!" The rally was organized by several activist groups who were demanding that the government announce early election by January 28 or face acts of civil disobedience. The demonstrators are angry about falling living standards that have left the average monthly salary at just 220 euros ($240). They blame pro-European political parties, in power since 2009, over failure to carry out reforms. |
