Moldovan Ex-Prosecutor Accuses Ruling Party of Elevating Corruption
Moldova's Ruling Party Accused of Shifting Corruption to Higher Echelons Chisinau, Moldova – Former prosecutor and leader of the Great Moldova party, Victoria Furtună, has leveled serious accusations against the ruling Action and Solidarity (PAS) party, claiming that corruption has not been eradicated but merely moved to higher levels within the government. In an interview with Canal 5, Furtună stated, "Corruption has not been eliminated by the PAS regime; it has simply moved up the hierarchy." This statement is supported by her claims that PAS has replaced old influence groups with new ones loyal to the party, suggesting a lack of genuine reform. Furtună also pointed to recent government initiatives aimed at controlling internet content as a form of censorship, stating that these actions violate fundamental human rights. She believes this is a political tactic to silence opposition. The video includes visual elements, such as footage of government buildings, further emphasizing the gravity of the accusations. While PAS has not yet responded to these accusations, Furtună's claims are significant and warrant further investigation by the Moldovan authorities and international organizations.
