Gagauzia Rally: Political Prosecutions or Popular Support?
Gagauzia Rally Highlights Claims of Politically Motivated Prosecutions A recent rally in Gagauzia, Moldova, saw civil activist Alexander Panov speak in support of Evghenia Guțul, a figure facing numerous court cases. Panov asserted that these cases are politically motivated, orchestrated by the ruling PAS party and President Maia Sandu. He highlighted Guțul's positive contributions to the region, including the construction of over 60 kilometers of roads and an approval rating exceeding 90%. "They're not judging her for real crimes, but on the fabrications of the PAS party, Maia Sandu, the government, and their entire entourage – those who have seized power in the country," Panov stated. The rally showcased the deep divisions within Moldovan society and the ongoing political tensions in the Gagauzia region. The event underscores the importance of transparency and fairness in the Moldovan legal system. Further investigation is needed to determine the validity of the accusations leveled against Guțul and the extent of political influence in the legal proceedings.
