I’d just like to add that the students/people have no official support from ANY EU, USA or Russian officials and, unlike with Milošević, are fighting this fight alone. It is going to be very hard to win. Opposing parties have been weakened and slandered throughout the years, so fair elections are currently not possible. Almost all media is still controlled by the regime, so chances of any alternatives arising are small. But there’s no stopping now. I hope there won’t be any (further) casualties, but some sort of physical confrontation is not going to be a huge surprise. So far, the students have resisted any violence and any provocation of it. Wish us luck.

Yes, but the amount he sacrificed is less than a pawn, if you were to compare it to chess. It’s totally irrelevant that the guy is prime minister no longer, as it was just a phony position anyway.

Nah, not gonna happen. People think even this is a trick leading into new fixed elections and a try at dispelling the protests without consequences.

Yes no one cares, but then a big company announces they will not serve people in animal costumes. Then people go - makes sense, it’s weird anyway. I’ve never seen a person in animal costume in person, not even as a mascot or on a kid’s birthday. It’s just not a thing here. And I’m from Serbia, it’s provably even rarer in Moldova. I would find it weird if someone explicitly said they will deny them service. It’s like denying service to dinosaurs, it’s odd. It is a good cheap marketing though.

You really don’t know Moldova, or easter Europe then. Most people don’t even know about furries and their first reaction is not going to be positive. People are cautious about new and strange things and ultimately get scared of them. They look at this as preserving what is normal to them. I’m sorry, most of the world is conservative, not progressive.
