Elderly protests to be resumed

Maia Laguta, head of the Salvgardare Association and organizer of the elderly protests in the last few weeks in downtown Chisinau, announced during a press conference today that protests will resume.

The elderly are protesting a Chisinau city council decision to hike water consumption and public transportation fees, and to get rid of free public transportation for retirees.

At the beginning of the protests a few weeks ago, Chisinay mayor Dorin Chirtoaca was assaulted by the protesters after he stepped out to talk to them.
