The government has called for a state of emergency against the backdrop of a complicated situation, marked by the risk of a humanitarian crisis on the left bank of the Dniester, due to the actions of the Russian Federation and uncertainties over gas supplies to the Transnistrian region, said government spokesman Daniel Voda, who said that the government is managing the challenges posed by Russia's destabilizing tactics, IPN reports.

According to Daniel Voda, the statements of some opposition lawmakers who, despite having attended the Parliament sessions, where the state of emergency was explicitly called for, and having had the opportunity to study the draft text, including during the session, continue to suggest that there is any problem with the state of emergency declared by the legislature, are surprising.

The government has debated the issue both in its own session and in Parliament, and the Prime Minister has clearly explained the reasons for this decision.

Daniel Voda argues that the real problem is the complicated context and the humanitarian risks, not the attempt to distort the purpose of the state of emergency.

"Parliamentarians, including those from the opposition (who voted against), voted in majority in favor of this measure precisely to protect Moldovan citizens and provide the necessary levers for the authorities to act", said Daniel Voda.

PSRM lawmakers criticized the introduction of the state of emergency, saying it was unnecessary.
