Kyrgyzstan election: Protesters storm parliament over vote-rigging claims
Protestors in Kyrgyzstan calling for the country's parliamentary election to be annulled have broken into parliament in the capital, Bishkek.
Footage showed people throwing papers from the building's windows, while others were seen entering the office of President Sooronbai Jeenbekov.
The break-in follows a day of clashes with police, who initially dispersed crowds with water cannon and tear gas.
The clashes come amid allegations of vote-rigging in last Sunday's election.
Following the vote, only four parties out of 16 passed the 7% threshold for entry into parliament, three of which have close ties to President Jeenbekov.

You seem to be under the delusion that voting for the Tarded RUMP that Republicans nominated will somehow save you from fascism.
It won't.
Just different brands.

We already have fascism, voted for by everyone who keeps voting democrat and republican.
