The number of participants in the protests staged by the Communist Party (PCRM) increases from Saturday to Saturday, said the organizers. “More people come to the protests mounted in the Great National Assembly Square. They demand that the ruling alliance resign and are determined to protest until Parliament is dissolved,” Communist MP Sergiu Sirbu said, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. According to the organizers, the protesters who came together in Chisinau’s central square on February 18 total over 10 000. Employees of the Ministry of the Interior said there are about 6 000 protesters. Approximately 200 sympathizers of the Alliance for European Integration protest against the event organized by the PCRM and against the PCRM near the Triumphal Arch. The PCRM and its supporters started to stage protests against the ruling alliance early in February.
