Chisinau residents attended the latest anti-government rally on Thursday, with footage showing protesters chanting and holding placards as they marched through the city’s streets.
"I have 40 years and two months of work experience," said one local. "Why do I have to come here today and shout and beg for a pension increase and a salary increase? Should we be begging the government for this?"
Another citizen said that she had never been involved in politics before, but now comes out to protest every day.
"The salary is tiny. They don't raise [salaries] for teachers, nannies are paid paltry salaries," she claimed. "But she [Moldovan President Maia Sandu] travels to different countries, travels spending money from the state budget, she doesn't even come out to the people. She says that only alcoholics, drunks, slackers come out here [to rallies]. Do you see me as a drunkard? Am I a thief?"
There was no official information any detentions during the rally.
The ongoing protests in the country are calling for the resignation of the president and the whole government, followed by early elections.
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.
