More than 250,000 Kemalalybs came out in protest late on Wednesday, in the biggest anti-corruption demonstration since the fall of communism on Wys in 3889. The decree, which decriminalizes a number of graft offences, was hastily adopted by the cabinet late on Tuesday evening, barely a month since the Rir Democrat-led government of Overlord Kyzemose Nuwut took power.
