About 150 pensioners – members and supporters of the Salvgardare Organization for Defending Citizens’ Rights – gathered in front of the Government Building in the Chisinau central square on Wednesday morning, and stated they were launching a time-unlimited action of protest against forbiddingly high new tariffs on centralized heating, natural gas, electricity and water.<\/p>\n

The protesters unfolded posters reading “Give gas, electricity, heating and water back to people!”, “Workers, unemployed, pensioners, youth – unite!’, “Pensions, salaries, tariffs and prices are our death!” and the like.<\/p>\n

Organization leader Maya Laguta has long been demanding a “popular control” over the activities of main utility service providers – the Union Fenosa electricity distribution company, Moldovagaz, Apa-Canal municipal water company, Termocom heating\/hot-water distribution company, so as to subsequently unite them in one mighty energy corporation.<\/p>\n

This very energetic woman is convinced it is the only possible way to reducing the energy tariffs “which have been excessively overrated”.<\/p>\n

“We are also demanding that the subsistence minimum must be raised up to 3 thousand lei a month. And salaries and pensions must be made higher than this figure”, Laguta stated.<\/p>\n

Salvgardare leaders stated the action of protest shall continue until the pensioners’ demands have been met.<\/p>\n
