Voronin’s bodyguards face lawsuits
The bodyguards of former President Vladimir Voronin who maltreated a voter in Ungheni town risk being criminally punished for misuse of power, the head of the Ministry of the Interior’s Public Order Service Nicolae Macovei said in a news conference, quoted by Info-Prim Neo.
According to Nicolae Macovei, the man was taken out by bodyguards and kicked outside after he asked the Communist leader if he was a patriot. “These bodyguards have not been trained, are not professionals and do not respect the law that allows the people to ask questions. We consider that these actions are illegal,” said the official of the Ministry of the Interior.
Nicolae Macovei called on the election contenders to have an adequate and correct behavior towards the voters and towards each other.
Since the start of the election campaign, the police have reported a number of violations of the Election Code. A computer was stolen from the office of the European Action Movement in Vulcanesti. Those who committed the theft have not been yet identified.
In Soroca town, several persons broke into the office of the Democratic Party and stole the safe with about 1,000 lei, a stamp and party cards inside. The safe was later found about three kilometers from the town, not far from Alexandru cel Bun village. There were only three party cards nearby.
In Ungheni town, a person working for a water bottling company distributed electoral brochures of the Democratic Party. He was fined 200 lei.
