“We possess evidence which proves that the former government were behind the provocations in April 2009”, stated Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Valeriu Cosarciuc on Monday evening, after giving testimony before the prosecutors in connection with the April events, Info-Prim Neo. Valeriu Cosarciuc says he presented the prosecutors pictures collected from different people and a documentary produced by activists, proving that the events that occurred on April 7 and, in particular, the change from a peaceful demonstration to violence, were planned by the communists. “I saw everything with my own eyes, so I don't need to review those pictures and footage. I was there when the carabineer troops started a psychological attack on the people, when they started to tap rhythmically their batons against their shields in a manner to suggest that an attack was going to happen”, said the minister. According to him, the police did things to incite the crowds to violence. “Behind the carabineers there were officers with clear intentions, who pushed them into attack when none of the protesters was pressing and there was no reason to start that attack”, declared Cosarciuc.
