Молдова: Хилади маршируват в Анти-правителствен парад в Кишинев

Tens of thousands of anti-government protesters marched through Chisinau on Sunday, demanding the resignation of Moldovan President Nicolae Timofti and calling for early elections to be held no later than March 2016. The protest was organised by two opposition parties - the Moldovan Socialist Party and Our Party. Protesters waved Moldovan flags and chanted "Victory," "Moldova," and "Crooks and thieves, five minutes to get ready" as they marched through the city. Moldova has witnessed a summer of protests after allegations of banking fraud rocked the government. In November 2014 the Moldovan state was forced to bail out three banks after $1.5 billion (€1.35 billion) from three Moldovan banks in November 2014. Protesters are calling for criminal charges to be brought against those involved. The rally is one of many protests to occur in the country after allegations of banking fraud rocked the government. On April 5, tens of thousands of people came to the Moldovan capital to demonstrate against perceived judicial corruption. A larger rally occurred on May 3, when 50,000 marched through Chisinau calling for the government to implement reforms which would bring the country closer to the EU. Later in the month 25,000 protesters gathered, again in Chisinau, calling for the unification of Moldova and Romania.
