Moldova: Farmers and veterans to demonstrate in Chisinau on Sept. 19

Farmers and veterans plan to protest in central Chisinau on Sept. 19. Farmers intend to demonstrate with agriculture equipment at the Presidential Palace at 12:00 to demand increased state assistance, while veterans will gather in front of the Parliament at 10:00 to demand housing support. It was not immediately clear how many participants would attend the demonstrations.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protests. Participating farmers may drive tractors to the gathering, resulting in highway disruptions into and out of the city in the morning and late afternoon. Though unlikely, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
