Some people in Moldova aren’t happy about the current government. There are plenty of reasons for this; however, I don’t really feel the need to get into them here. You’re reading eBaum’s World — if you want the news, go look at your uncle’s Facebook feed!

To express their displeasure with the government, the people of the country have been appearing at events where the Prime Minister is set to be and hitting him with brooms — apparently implying that they want to “sweep” his party out of power.

According to local TV, the people gathered in this way intend to "sweep" the head of the Cabinet out of the city, due to dissatisfaction with the current policy of the Moldovan authorities. pic.twitter.com/j2KSGRiZnP
