Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Moldova's capital for a second-straight day on January 21, calling for sweeping reforms amid widespread anger against what is perceived as a profoundly corrupt political elite.
The protests have grown despite parliament's approval of a new pro-European government on January 20. The latest rallies took place as new Prime Minister Pavel Filip, a member of the ruling Democrat Party, held his first cabinet meeting.

WNU Editor: This can go either way right now .... protests that will slowly diminish over time .... or revolution. On a personal note .... I have friends in Moldova and I have visited the place many times over the years. There are two things in Moldova that always sticks in my mind .... the unbelievable corruption (I have been shaken down by the police for a bribe on a visit there a few years back .... which my friends say is normal), and the unbelievably number of beautiful women who live there. Cops I can do without .... but why are there so many beautiful women in that country is beyond me.

WNU Editor,
"but why are there so many beautiful women in that country is beyond me."
Because nobody's set up a "Moldova Brides are waiting for you" website with the appropriate click bait?
Jay. You just gave me an idea for a new business project. :)
Moldova has beautiful women because of the latin origins just like Romania.
LOL. Hamilcar I was about to add that Moldova has beautiful women because of the Ukrainian - Russian mix. :)
