The protesters, both old and young, set out from the Constitutional Court building and walked along the central street to the building of the presidential administration, chanting "Down with Maia Sandu!"
The march, labeled as "March of the Hungry" or "March of Deceived Pensioners," was organized by the Victory of the Young movement.
Yuri Vitnyansky, the movement's leader, said the police did not allow the demonstrators near the presidential administration citing the mayor's ruling. Instead, they headed to the office of the ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), which was founded by President Sandu.
