٠٠:٠٢:٢٥The rallies continued in front of the presidential building in Chisinau on Tuesday, as protesters turned out to bang pots with spoons, wave placards and chant anti-government slogans.
The demonstrators demanded a reduction in the cost of living, as well as the resignation of President Maia Sandu and her government, and early elections.
"What are we fighting for? First of all, we are fighting for a price reduction for everything: utilities, but not only (that). You go to the bazaar, you go to the shop, you look at how much the prices have gone up and look at the real income we have now," one of the activists explained.
"Electricity is expensive, water is expensive, utilities are expensive - everything is expensive," added another protester.
According the opposition Shor Party’s press office, the protest was organised to show that "every month people are getting poorer."
There was no official information on any detentions during the rally.
On Monday, the president called for more powers for law enforcement agencies, claiming that the demonstrators want to "establish a government that will be loyal to Russia".
Thousands of people attended the first of these rallies on September 18. Dozens of tents were pitched outside the government building, with organisers calling them a 'City of Change', saying they’d only leave when their conditions were met.
Mass anti-government rallies began in the country in May amid soaring energy and food prices, as well as falling living standards and record inflation.
