PROTESTERS in Moldova’s capital Chisinau occupied the main square yesterday, pitching tents in an escalation of regime-change protests.
Organisers of the pro-EU Dignity and Truth movement put up about 40 small tents a day after up to 100,000 people joined a rally urging the government, the central bank governor, the general prosecutor and others to resign.
The catalyst for the demonstrations is the apparent disappearance of about £1 billion from three Moldovan banks last year.
The state-owned banks from where the money was lost before the 2014 parliamentary elections were put under the National Bank of Moldova’s control in December.
An unpublished parliamentary report said some of the money had been moved to Russian banks.
