Sunday protest rally in Moldovan capital peaceful
The protest rally staged by the three opposition parties in the centre of Chisinau on Sunday afternoon took place in a peaceful and civilized way. This opinion is shared by both the participants in the rally and the law enforcement bodies.
According to police the rally was attended by some 5,000 people, while according to the opposition by about 10,000. The opposition said that people from provinces could reach the capital only in their own cars because police was not allowing buses carrying protesters to come to Chisinau.
Several dozen policemen supervised the rally. Organizers repeatedly called on protesters to behave calmly and peacefully.
The protesters carried no flags or banners. Only several times they shouted together with the speakers "Down with Communists!", "Democracy!", "Freedom!", "Moldova!".
The participants in the rally unanimously adopted a resolution in which they put the blame for the April 7 mass riots on the country's top authorities and personally on President Vladimir Voronin, Prime Minister Zinaida Greciani and Speaker Marian Lupu.
