Yesterday leaders of Dignity and Truth Platform Party and Party of Action and Solidarity have organized a protest in the Great National Assembly Square, afterwards people tried to force their way on the territory of Moldova 1. The aggressive politicians demanded the news channel to call them more often for interview and to broadcast live the protest.

The protesters tried to enter the territory of National Television Channel using a minibus, endangering the lives of both police officers, as well as other civilians. Luckily law enforcement managed to stop it.

Unhappy with this people decided to attack the police officers.

Director of the Television Channel, Ecaterina Stratan, declared that such demands, of providing the political leaders more broadcast time, is a direct breach of the editorial policy.

 "This week, Moldova 1 has broadcast nearly daily the events organized by Dignity and Truth Platform Party and Party of Action and Solidarity, I have tried to enter in a peaceful dialogue, as that is how the protest announced itself to be, with the organizers, but unfortunately it never took place due to the violence" Ecaterina Strata declared.

During the protest, the national television channel has broadcast a special edition regarding the event.
