CHISINAU, September 25. /TASS/. Protesters in the Moldovan capital city of Chisinau are pitching tents in front of the presidential administration building demanding President Maia Sandu’s resignation, a TASS correspondent reported on Sunday.

"These tents are for her. We will be protesting here until the yellow plague (yellow was the color Sandu’s campaign slogans were painted - TASS) is gone," head of the republic’s Orhei municipality Dinu Turcanu said.

Thousands opposition supporters gathered on Sunday in central Chisinau to demand the government’s resignation. The protests were organized by the Sor party.

Last week, the opposition pitched more than 200 tents near the parliament building. The demonstrators say they will stay here until their demands are satisfied. They demand dissolution of parliament, which is controlled by the pro-European Party of Action and Solidarity, and resignation of the president and government.
