Corjova inhabitants forced to promise they will not vote in elections

The election runners in Corjova, Dubasari are not allowed to organize meetings with the voters, the economic entities and managers of the local institutions are warned not to take part in elections, while about 1,000 members of so-called Cossack committees prepare provocations for June 5, the current mayor of Corjova Valeriu Mitul, who is competing for a new tenure, stated for Info-Prim Neo. “Representatives of all the economic entities were summoned to the militia station and forced to sign statements, pledging not to take part in the local elections. The councilors are threatened. Only some of them are allowed to hold meetings with the voters. The peacekeepers should deal with the Cossack organizations, but they do nothing. We are not protected. The police should get involved and prevent the provocations,” said Valeriu Mitul. He also said that the unconstitutional authorities put two strategies into practice. “If they do not manage to hinder the people from voting, they will make everything possible for the person they fielded to win the elections,” stated Valeriu Mitul. He also said that he will ask the Moldovan constitutional authorities to take all the measures possible to prevent the provocations. Earlier, co-chairperson of the Joint Control Commission on behalf of Moldova Ion Solonenko said the Transnistrian delegation to the Commission informed that the Cossack organizations will stage provocations on June 5. According to Solonenko, the Commission will take all the necessary measures so as not to destabilize the situation in the Security Zone. In the presidential elections, the so-called Cossack committees destroyed the polling place in Corjova and tore up Moldova's flag.
