Description

Moldovan residents staged another anti-government rally in front of the republic's parliament building and the Chisinau courthouse on Friday.

Footage shows demonstrators walking through the city streets chanting slogans and carrying banners and flags of the republic.

"How do you go on living? Electricity is expensive, gas is expensive, everything is expensive. We will make a fire in the villages and warm ourselves with dung, because Maia Sandu brought us to this, to extreme poverty. We will burn the remains of sunflowers and even oilcake and somehow we will survive, but what will the residents of the city do?” a protester said.

"It is a deplorable situation because the prices that have gone up simply do not allow farm workers to exist, let alone earn, to exist," said a second protester.

There was no official information on any detentions during the rally.

Thousands of people attended the first demonstration on September 18, organised by the opposition Shor party. Activists pitched dozens of tents outside the government building, calling them a 'City of Change', and said they’d only leave when their conditions were met.

In May, mass anti-government rallies began in the country over soaring energy and food prices, as well as falling living standards and record inflation.
