Moldavian Supreme Soviet makes Romanian the only official state language in the Moldavian SSR. (A third rally was held as well by several thousand Gagauz against the law). At a counter rally also in Kishinev held by Yedintsvo, some 2,000 protested against the language law. The protests were organized by the Popular Front which quickly organized the opposition around the restoration of Romanian as the national language and identity of Moldovans (as well as the eventual union with Romania). Moldovans fill the streets of the capital (Kishinev) demanding that Romanian be made the official language of the Moldavian SSR. They demand Russian be made an official state language along side Romanian and complain of a lack of concern for minority rights by Moldavian authorities.
