CHISINAU (Sputnik) – On Wednesday, hundreds gathered near the parliament to protest against Moldovan President Nicolae Timofti's decision to nominate Pavel Filip, the minister of informational technologies and communications and member of the ruling Democratic Party, for the post of the country’s prime minister.
The state’s opposition leaders have called on their supporters to take part in more protests on Thursday, demanding the resignation of the country’s government.
The head of the Socialist Party, Igor Dodon, told RIA Novosti earlier that the anti-government rally would draw a total of 100,000.
Since September 2015, Moldovan opposition parties have been protesting against the country's government, calling for early parliamentary elections and prompt action to tackle nationwide corruption.
