On Sunday, numerous protesters from across the country took part in the demonstrations and setting up the tents in the center of Chisinau, calling on the country's president, Nicolae Timofti, and government to resign following corruption scandals.
Participants in Monday's rally said further protests would take place later in the day.
The protests were sparked by the disappearance last year of more than $1 billion, or the equivalent of 15 percent of the country's total gross domestic product (GDP), from three Moldovan banks. The incident negatively impacted on the country's banking system and depreciated the national currency, the leu.
According to Moldovan officials, about 40,000 people gathered for the demonstrations on Sunday, but the protests' organizers put the number of demonstrators at 100,000.
