CHISINAU (Sputnik) — On Sunday, thousands of people gathered in the central square of the Moldovan capital demanding the government's resignation and early parliamentary and presidential elections. The rally was organized by the center-right opposition civic platform Dignity and Truth (DA). Several DA members clashed with police near the office and the house of First Deputy Chairman of the Democratic Party of Moldova Vladimir Plahotniuc.
"As a result of violence 43 law enforcement officers were injured, 19 of them asked for help from doctors, and five were hospitalized sustaining various injuries," Deputy Chief of the General prosecution of the General Inspectorate of Police Grigore Moga said at a press conference.
Chisinau has been swept in rallies since September 2015, when the coalition of opposition forces demanded the resignation of the Moldovan president, the prime minister and the chief prosecutor, as well as prompt action to tackle corruption.
