The leader of the Shor Party Ilan Shor said the President of Moldova Igor Dodon threatened his family and exerted pressure on him. In a news conference on Fernery 4, the mayor of Orhei said he will not give up. If need be, he will make public a number of spicy details about Igor Dodon. In reaction, the presidential press service said President Dodon expressed his regret at the fact that some of the candidates in the parliamentary elections try to attract the President and the presidential administration into fictitious political polemics, IPN reports.
Ilan Shor said President Dodon threatened him he will face very serious problems in Russia and that, at his request, his political patrons and the FSB will start invented criminal cases against him. He noted it is strange that Igor Dodon resorted to such threats given their previous relations. Not only once, Igor Dodon flied by his planes, including to Moscow, and used his vehicles and homes. He also offered Igor Dodon considerable financial support, including in two election campaigns, as businessmen Veaceslav Platon did. Ilan Shor brought a big bag to the news conference, saying this was full of what Dodon received, suggesting it was money inside.
In reaction, the presidential press service said the statements of particular aspirants for MP should be treated exclusively in an electoral context. In particular, it is seen how some of the candidates make a desperate attempt to distract attention from the direct accusations concerning their involvement in the banking fraud and the illegitimacy of their participation in elections made against them.
The presidential administration enjoys the biggest legitimacy and people’s support and does not become involved in the electoral struggle of political forces, while the President does not intend to react to any of the provocations, especially because most of such attacks were already witnessed in the public sphere, including in the previous election campaigns, when responses were given, said the presidential press service.
