The president of the Constitutional Court Alexandru Tanase, former Minister of Justice, considers that the responsibility for the April 7, 2009 events is borne by those who were then in power. “Those with guns in their arms are to blame for the use of torture. The responsibility for every person who is in the custody of the state is borne by those who hold power,” Tanase said in the program “In Profunzime” on Pro TV channel, Info-Prim Neo reports. Alexandru Tanase also said that when he was named minister, he found no document referring to the April 2009 events. There was no prosecutor or police officer in the Great National Assembly Square on the morning of April 8 to analyze the situation. “I believe that everyone will have their own truth in the future. When such perturbations occur, society becomes fragmented and it is hard to make everyone judge in the same way. Maybe in 20 years they will provide an official version of what happened on April 7,” he stated. In the same program, Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca said that we will find out the truth about April 7, 2009 only if we are consistent and follow the road to justice. “It is three years of those events, but there is neither intention nor wish to do something. Maybe there is fear and complicity,” he said. On April 7, 2009, thousands of young people protested against the results of the April 5 parliamentary elections, saying they were rigged. The peaceful protests degenerated into riots. Tens of protesters and police officers were taken to the hospital with injuries. Thousands of persons were arrested and maltreated in police commissariats.
