The small Eastern European nation, located between Ukraine and Romania, has seen a rise in political tensions in recent months as natural gas prices have risen in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it reports. Reuters.
Thousands of people protesting in front of the official residence of the President of the Republic of Moldova in central Chisinau, chanting slogans such as “down with (president) Maia Sandu” and “down with the government”.
Maia Sandu has repeatedly condemned Moscow’s actions in Ukraine and campaigns for accession to the European Union. Her critics charge that she should have negotiated a better natural gas deal with Russia, Moldova’s main supplier.
On Friday, Moldova’s gas regulatory authority increased prices by 27% for domestic consumers.
In the afternoon, about 10 tents were set up by protesters in front of the residence, after trying to create a protest table in front of the Moldovan parliament last week.
