Read previewAs a travel writer, one of my greatest loves is experiencing a new country, region, or city with my son.

Liderul formațiunii, Alexandr Kalinin, afirmă că angajații CFM sunt amenințați cu concedierea în cazul în care își vor exprima susținerea pentru acțiunea din PMAN, transmite IPN. Potrivit lui, doar după ce a văzut protestul din PMAN, conducerea CFM a decis să achite salariile pentru luna ianuarie. Alexandr Kalinin a mai spus că, în această dimineață, s-a simit rău vicepreședintele formațiunii, Alexandru Elița, acesta fiind preluat de ambulanță. Serghei Pașcov, vicepreședinte al Partidului Regiunilor, a declarat că acțiunea de protest este una pașnică, iar dorința este ca autoritățile să audă cetățenii. Angajații CFM care nu și-au ridicat salariile de jumătate de an sunt un exemplu în acest sens.
