Thousands from Russia-friendly party join anti-government protest in Moldova’s capital
Associated PressCHISINAU, Moldova — Several thousand people from a Russia-friendly party protested in front of Moldova’s parliament building on Thursday to demand the resignation of the pro-Western government. The Revival Party currently holds four seats in Moldova’s 101-seat legislature in the country of about 2.5 million people. The rally comes after Moldova’s Intelligence and Security Service, SIS, warned last month of fresh “disinformation and manipulation” campaigns to try to destabilize Moldova and undermine its relations with neighboring Ukraine and the European Union. Days before local elections last year, Moldovan authorities banned another pro-Russia party, the Chance Party, from taking part, which removed about 600 candidates from the ballot — a decision that was later overturned.
