The leadership of the political party “Platform Dignity and Truth” (PPPDA) calls on the state institutions, especially the Ministry of the Interior, the Security and Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Transport, not to block the drivers of minibuses and buses that will carry people to Chisinau to take part in the protest scheduled for June 11, IPN reports.
The leader of the PPPDA Andrei Nastase told a news conference that the persecution of the party’s most important activists reached intolerable proportions. According to him, those who run businesses, even small ones, are subject to continuous checks on the part of the authorities. “The members of the “Platform Dignity and Truth” are openly and insistently intimidated. Some are subject to unfounded searches, while others are summoned to district heads to be warned to stop the political activity within the Platform DA. Many members of the party are called for several times a week by employees of police stations and are asked if they will go to the protest and in what number, for what purpose and by what units of transport,” stated Andrei Nastase.
In a press statement, the PPPDA says a dictatorial regime is close to be established in the Republic of Moldova, while the pro-European desideratum of the government is nothing but a screen that hides an anti-people mafia regime.
“We call on our members and sympathizers from districts to take an active part in the protest that will be mounted by civil society at twelve noon on June 11 in the square of the Parliament Building to counteract the oligarchs’ attempt to promote, in the absence of a national political consensus, the change in the electoral system in order to keep the usurped power. We also call on the Moldovans from the diaspora to stage similar protests in front of Moldova’s embassies and European institutions to show their solidarity and support for those who are at home,” said Andrei Nastase.
The June 11 protest against the modification of the electoral system is organized by a number of nongovernmental organizations.
