Moldovan Protest Alleges Government Abuse of Power

Protests Erupt in Moldova Over Alleged Political Persecution Chisinau, Moldova – A protest took place today outside the Buikany Courthouse, led by Pavel Verejanu, former mayor of Orhei and activist with the "Victory" Bloc. Verejanu alleges that his colleagues, Svetlana and Evghenia, are facing unjust charges, claiming the PAS regime is using the courts to silence opposition. "The PAS regime, this yellow dictatorial apparatus, has seized control of the judicial system," Verejanu stated. "They are cracking down on those who disagree, and it's crucial to stand together. Today they came for us; tomorrow they could come for you." The protest featured numerous participants holding signs with slogans such as "No guilt – no court!" and "Judges, protect human rights!" The event underscores growing concerns about political freedoms and the independence of the judiciary in Moldova. Further investigation into the allegations is needed to determine the validity of the claims and the extent of any political interference in the legal process. The protest serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions within the Moldovan political landscape.
