Participants in a mass protest in the center of Chisinau adopted a resolution on Sunday, September 13, calling for a general strike, reports the Moldovan publication Jurnal.MD .

“The document was adopted taking into account the wishes of representatives of all social segments who joined the platform,” said Andrei Năstase, chairman of the Council of the Grand National Assembly, created a week ago.

According to him, the authorities’ refusal to meet with the protesters confirms “the inability of the state to provide people with a decent life.”

“We continue to demand the resignation of the entire leadership of Moldova and the holding of early elections, which should take place no later than the spring of next year. At the same time, we must prepare for these elections. Therefore, by the resolution of today’s rally, we will authorize the Council of the Grand National Assembly to work on creating a political movement that can take part in future elections, as well as create a government of “people’s trust” that will govern the country until early parliamentary elections,” Interfax quotes Nastase.

An open-ended protest has been taking place in the central square of Chisinau since last week, with several thousand people taking part in it.

Protests in Moldova intensified after Sunday's rally, which, according to various estimates, gathered from 35 thousand to 100 thousand people.
