Antimafia Movement: Communist mayor persecutes people

The mayor of Mereseuca village, Ocnita district, Emilia Albu is dragging 15 people through courts and tens of families are deprived of the social aid they deserve. The actions are a “punishment” against the villagers who don’t want to support the Communist Party of which Albu is a member. The information was brought to the press by deputy head of the Antimafia People’s Movement Daniela Bodrug, Info-Prim Neo reports. The deputy head of Antimafia said that this was Emilia Albu’s fourth mandate. She always won because she blackmailed the people that they would not get social aid if they didn’t reelect her. Daniela Bodrug added that the villagers complained that the mayor monitored the elections and forced the people to show the ballot papers with the vote stamped on her line. Daniela Bodrug says that the mayor of Mereseuca village is dragging elderly people through courts and they lose their health and become helpless. According to her, when the terrorized people complained to the central authorities, they were told that only the court can rule in this case. “The authorities simply got rid of them”, said Daniela Bodrug. Antimafia People’s Movement demands the State Chancellery to create a commission of administrative control that would inspect the mayor's office, but not a default one, because mayor Emilia Albu has created her “own mafia network”. The Minister of Finance is asked to conduct an audit at the mayor's office. Again, the person in charge should be sent from Chisinau, as the local employees may not be reliable. Elena, a woman from Mereseuca, confirmed that she was persecuted by the local mayor. She says that mayor Emilia Albu uses the village hall car for personal purposes and that Albu’s husband was the social assistant who decided who would receive social aid. Elena demanded on behalf of the wronged for justice to be done and the mayor to be dismissed. Antimafia movement is launching a campaign for helping people by installing tents in most of the district capitals, where people can come to write complaints against officials that infringe on their rights. The movement also issued a “congratulation” to the government three years after it came into power, which reads that money and bossiness solved everything in Moldova, while ordinary people couldn’t find justice. According to the movement, this is the worst possible congratulation for a government that professes to be “liberal and democratic”, but is in truth communist.
