Parliament on February 8 adopted a Statement whereby it condemns the information attacks staged by the Russian Federation on the national information security and its abusive interference in politics, IPN reports.

The authors of the draft Statement – the MPs of the Democratic Party, the European People’s Party of Moldova, the Liberal Party and the unaffiliated ones – point to the unprecedented intensification of the Russian Federation’s interference in the internal affairs of Moldova. The Statement denounces the propaganda and negative practices of Russian TV channels, toxic manipulating campaigns and harassment of Moldovan politicians by the Russian authorities.

The Statement refers to particular satellite parties that Moscow manages in Moldova and that it promoted by media ways in view of the parliamentary elections of this yearend. In the debate on the Statement, Liberal MP Lilian Carp tried twice to make Democratic MP Sergiu Sarbu, who presented the draft Statement, say which these parties are and if there are concrete data, but failed. At the third reply, Carp was only told that the authors of the Statement collected relevant facts.

The Socialist and Communist MPs weren’t present in the assembly hall during the debate on the Statement as they left the sitting earlier. When leaving, Socialist MP Vlad Batrincea said Parliament is preoccupied not with such issues as the gas tariff, but rather with Russophobia.
