Young AMN members seek financial assistance from international organizations to transport students to polling places

The Youth Organization of the Moldova Noastra Alliance (AMN) asked the Council of Europe, the European Union and OSCE to provide financial assistance for transporting the students to the polling stations on the election day, Info-Prim Neo reports. “About 70% of the students that have residence visas in dormitories are now on vacation. They did not manage to file applications to be allowed to vote at the place where they will be on the election day. The term set by the Central Election Commission was short as the students were busy with the exams and theses,” the Organization’s member Ludmila Lupu said at a news conference on July 22. “If we obtain money to ensure the transportation of the students, the problem will be solved,” she added. The Youth Organization of the AMN considers that international and national observers should monitor the transportation of the students so as to prevent the placement of obstacles, as it happened on other occasions. In another development, the young AMN members related cases of intimidation of AMN candidates for MP and supporters of the party. They said that the president of the AMN local organization in Leova was beaten and continues to receive treatment at home after staying in hospital for several days.
