Protest against president's policy kicks off in Moldova
A group of activists gathered near a stele outside the Chisinau gate to protest Moldovan President Maya Sandu's policy.
The protesters brought with them Moldova's national flags, the historical banners of the Moldavian principality, posters with anti-government slogans, Lenta.ru reports.
They call for the resignation of the country's leadership, but do not block the road. The police do not interfere with their actions.
The organiser of the event, Adrian Domintyuk, explained that the activists came out because the authorities did not allow opponents to express their opinion on the central square of Chisinau about Moldova's entry into the European Union.
"We oppose both the one-vector foreign policy imposed on Sandu and the 'monopoly' established by the government on the public expression of one's opinion," he said.
