Opposition presidential candidate leads protest

Author: Valent́ina Bonḱa

Tamara - The scene on the streets of the Agausian capital today could be described as tense and chaotic as more than a thousand protestors rallied against President Aioviḱara and his Social Democratic government. Protesters gathered at the request of opposition presidential candidate Niḱolâ Kasrâni, who took to social media earlier in the week calling on his supporters to occupy the capital to protest the cost-of-living crisis. 

As of June 2022, Agausia's inflation rate has been hovering near 11%, up from a year ago when inflation was steady at 6%. Ultimately, despite interventions from both the government and the national bank, nothing thus far has translated into cheaper prices for the Agausian people.  
  
The demands of the protestors were made clear as the angry crowd shouted, "lower our rents!"  Standing outside of the Palace of Klementina, Kasrâni addressed his supporters before leading them on a march towards the Assembly Hall, Agausia's seat of parliament. Once there the crowd rallied against the minority government. Kasrâni was joined by several powerful Agausian Liberal MPs including, Daviti Vagt́ani and Aleksandre Umdaže.
 
With the recent election polls indicating a tight race Kasrâni does have the advantage of being "the" opposition candidate, a role that he has played well. This isn't going to guarantee him a secured win in the first vote, but it could make him a more competitive candidate in the September runoff.
