On 18 September 2022, protests in Moldova began in the capital city of Chișinău, demanding the resignation of the country's pro-Western government,^{[65] [66]} amid an energy crisis causing rising natural gas prices and inflation, caused in part by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The pro-Russian Șor Party have been instrumental in the organisation of the protests.^{[67] [68]} It is alleged by the Moldovan government that the party has been offering cash payments to people to attend the protests and has also been providing free transportation to the capital for protest attendees, with funds provided by Ilan Shor, the oligarch and leader of the Șor Party who had fled Moldova amid corruption charges and who has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.^[69] The Șor party would be outlawed by the Moldovan Constitutional Court on 19 June 2023 with its former members being further barred from participating in the upcoming 2023 Moldovan local elections, regardless of their new political affiliation. Following the dismantling of the Șor party, large scale coordinated protests ceased.
