“July 29, 2009 wouldn't have existed without April 7, 2009 and the frail democracy wouldn't have emerged victorious in the legislative elections. The Alliance for European Integration wouldn't have been formed if there hadn't been young people longing for freedom and justice. Today wouldn't have existed or would have been different,” Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca said at an exhibition of photos dedicated to the April 7, 2009 events, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The young people's natural revolt against the Communist regime resulted in at least one death, of Valeriu Boboc, and in suffering. Many of the victims of those events still suffer the consequences of the pain to which they were subjected,” Dorin Chirtoaca said. According to him, the police officers took the young people to the Parliament's garage, the General Police Commissariat, the Operative Services Division and other departments of the Ministry of the Interior, where they had been tortured for three weeks. Despite the calls made by the opposition, civil society and international organizations, nobody had access to the places where they were held. “Only they and God know what they went through on April 7. Now they want justice to be done. They see the authoritarian's attitude and fight inside themselves,” said the mayor. Dorin Chirtoaca also said that there is no political will to clarify things and punish those who destroyed the Parliament Building and the Presidential Office and those who maltreated the young people.
