Thousands in Moldova's capital protested on Sunday demanding the country's pro-Western government resign amid mounting anger over spiraling natural gas prices and inflation. 

The small east European country, wedged between Ukraine and Romania, has witnessed rising political tensions in recent months as gas prices jumped after the war in Ukraine.

Sandu has repeatedly denounced Russia's actions in Ukraine and is pushing for membership in the European Union. Her critics argue that she should have negotiated a better gas agreement with Russia, Moldova's main supplier.

On Friday, Moldova's gas regulator increased prices for households by 27 percent.

Protesters have set up around 10 tents outside the residence by the afternoon.

Last week, thousands protested high inflation and fuel costs outside Moldova's government in the ex-Soviet state's main square in Chisinau, demanding the resignation of pro-Western President Maia Sandu and her government.

"Sandu's biggest shortcoming is being unable to communicate with ordinary Moldovans," Analyst Vitalie Andrievschi told Reuters. "Sandu and her government are unable to assume their share of responsibility and punish those clearly unable to do their jobs."
