Abstract:
The article analyzes the relection in the lyers and in the time press of the stu-
dent strike in the spring of 1995. This large action, organized in the Great National
Assembly Square, initially had claims in the ields of education and science, which
gradually expanded into economic, political demands. The strike was supported by
students, teachers, intellectuals from several localities in the Republic of Moldova,
also having an international echo. If the oficial mass media obstructed the strikers
‚message and called the action „unconstitutional”, then the protesters’ request was
transmitted through lealets, periodicals from both the socio-cultural ield and those
afiliated with the opposition parties.
