Road Haulers Hold a Protest in the Centre of Chisinau

Road haulers took to the Great National Assembly Square today, 9 November, to protest. They are outraged that the draft amendments to the Road Transport Code (RTC) were not submitted to public hearings according to all the rules. Hundreds of minibuses and buses are gathering in front of the Government building today. According to the president of the Association of Employers of Road Carriers (APOTA), Oleg Alexa, if some legislative initiatives to amend the Road Transport Code are not cancelled, many carriers risk losing their license. On 3 November, the Employers’ Association of Motor Transport Operators asked the Chisinau City Hall for permission to organize a protest in the centre of the capital.
