A rally against the mixed electoral system organized by several opposition parties and politicized NGOs that support them, has failed. Although it was previously announced that tens of thousands of protesters would gather, Andrei Năstase and Maia Sandu managed to gather only about 800 people. Moreover, some of the protesters brought children with them. Also, the DT (Dignity and truth) leader tried to provoke the law enforcement officers.

Although they expected thousands of protesters to gather in front of the Parliament, less than a thousand people came to the rally, a fact confirmed by the local police.

"The rally numbers about 800 people. Major clashes or order violations have not been registered. The police ensure the observance of the legal order," IGP head Alexandru Pânzari said.

The few hundreds of people protested against the mixed voting system, even though 60 percent of Moldovans opted for changing the current electoral framework. About 850 thousand signatures were collected in this respect.

As happened at the previous rallies, the protesters have aggressed journalists.

While claiming to support freedom of speech, protesters have made use of insults again.

The rally also included children.

Although they are protesting against the mixed voting system, some demonstrators do not even know how it works:

"Now the protest is against the mixed system." "No, no, it is not! The mixed voting system is different matter, but not only this."

"What does the mixed system include?" It goes approximately like this: they will be held in each constituency, people will be appointed."

"You're talking about the uninominal system, if they will be elected in each constituency, but what about the mixed one?" "It's about the same."

" What is the mixed voting system?" "You know, I'm not ready to tell you now."

After rallying in front of the Parliament, the protesters went marching to the Socialist Party's headquarters. However, some protesters did not know what route to take, and when they came to the National Anti-Corruption Center they forgot why they took to the streets in the first place.

Then, the protesters headed for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There, Andrei Năstase provoked the police officers charged to guard the institution.

The march ended with a short rally in front of the DPM headquarters, where only a small part of those who came out in the street was left.

During the rally, the traffic was blocked on several streets.

Political analysts say the rally organizers lose their support because they do not come up with concrete solutions.

"These parties have focused their political activity exclusively on organizing rallies, a fact that proves they are not able to conceive and propose to citizens a real governing program. Very often we see them come up with contradictory attitudes," political analyst Vitalie Catană said.

Yesterday (July 30), young people from the Dignity and Truth Party roamed the streets of the capital in search of supporters. However, people were not receptive to their call. This happened while Andrei Năstase, the leader of the party, was spotted fishing alongside some businessmen.
