(ANSA-AFP) - CHISINAU, DEC 3 - More than 5,000 people rallied on Thursday in Moldova against legislation that would limit the powers of the newly elected pro-European president. Maia Sandu is due to take office in late December as leader of the ex-Soviet republic, wedged between Ukraine and Romania, after winning a surprise victory over pro-Russian incumbent Igor Dodon. Protesters gathered outside parliament in the capital Chisinau after Sandu called for her supporters to rally against several bills tabled by Dodon's Party of Socialists, including one that would limit presidential powers. The bill proposes transferring control of the Information and Security Service of Moldova, the country's intelligence agency, from president to parliament. Sandu's supporters chanted "Down with the Traitors!" and demanded the dissolution of parliament. Police cordoned off the building but did not interfere with the rally. (ANSA-AFP).
