Concerns about the spread of unrest in

New anti-government protests in the Moldovan capital demanding government subsidies to offset winter electricity costs and not intervene in the war in Ukraine have raised concerns about the spread of unrest in Moldova. According to the AAA, thousands of people with Moldovan flags took part in this new anti-government demonstration, which took place yesterday Tuesday in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, at the call of the Popular Movement and with the support of the pro-Russian Shor party against the pro-Western government and in protest against declining living standards and rising inflation. Participants with Moldovan flags in their hands called the President of this country, Maia Sandu, a dictator and demanded her resignation. This is the second anti-government rally in Chisinau in two weeks, and comes amid growing concern over attempts to destabilize Moldova, which is next door to Ukraine. With 6 seats in the Moldovan parliament of 101 deputies, the Shor party held several demonstrations last fall against the Moldovan government, which has been demanding accession to the European Union since June 2022 amid attempts to cope with a severe energy crisis, after a significant reduction in Russian gas exports .
