٠٠:٠٢:١٤Chisinau residents continue to rally in front of the parliament building on Friday.
Footage shows protesters chanting "Down with Maia Sandu!" in front of the parliament, with some of them clashing with the police. A representative of the opposition Shor party, Sergei Burguji, could be seen giving a speech at the rally.
One of the protesters complained about low pensions.
"I'm about to have heart surgery. I receive such a pension that sometimes I can't afford a piece of bread. How do I live? Is this a decent life?" she said.
Another resident was outraged by the fact that the police dismantled the protesters' tents on the roadway outside the parliament building.
"You know, I'm still reeling. I can't get over it. It should not be like that. There should not be such things in any state," she said.
There was no official information on any detentions during the rally.
Earlier, Chisinau authorities imposed a ban on blocking the roadway.
During the protest on Sunday, 9 October, which, according to the opposition party Shor, was attended by about 60,000 people (Moldovan police reported five thousand), the protesters decided to expand the tent camp that had been set up earlier.
On 26 September, Moldovan President Maia Sandu called on law-enforcement agencies to "promptly identify the sources of illegal financing of those who pay for participation in protests and severely punish any attempts at aggression, provocation or destabilisation".
On Monday, the protesters were dispersed by law enforcement forces.
On Tuesday, Sandu asked the Cabinet of Ministers to extend police powers to allow them to disperse protests with no coordination by local authorities.
According to media reports quoting the country's government press office, rallies with road closures or access to public buildings are now banned on weekdays, and on weekends rallies can be held for no longer than four hours. Protests in the centre of Chisinau have been ongoing since 18 September.
Mass anti-government rallies began in Moldova in May over soaring energy and food prices, falling living standards and a record 33.5 per cent inflation rate.
According to the protesters, the current government is unable to cope with the existing crisis in the country.
