Although the day has passed peacefully, some tension started growing around 6 pm. Some people are demanding that the people arrested yesterday are released; that the police inform the people where they have taken the people they arrested.
Police forces armed with shields are surrounding the government building. Behind them a number of the civil order service are prepared to intervene.
President Voronin said yesterday night on national RTM that "after what happened yesterday police forced would be prepared to take harder measure if necessary."
Since 10am, a smaller mass compared to yesterday has gathered again in Central square in Chisinau, Moldova. It has been so far a sunny quiet day. All protesters have been generally peaceful and demanding to be taken seriously.
Few members of opposition parties have made short appearances without claiming to be the organisers of the protest and inviting all to stay calm.
"I came out on my own initiative, from my soul, I really think the lection have been a fraud. I do not want this government anymore," said a middle aged man. How long are these people prepared to protest they do not know but they want a reaction.
