🇲🇩 Today in Chisinau, the first court hearing in the criminal case against Gagauz Bashkan (Governor) Irina Vlah was supposed to take place. However, the defense was able to postpone the trial for a month, demanding that the prosecution translate all case documents into Russian.
The central authorities accuse Vlah of being involved in the "illegal financing" of the opposition party "Shor", which was declared unconstitutional in Moldova after mass protests in 2022.
▪️A rally in support of Vlah gathered outside the courthouse, with supporters of the Gagauz leader chanting "Victory".
▪️It is particularly ironic that Vlah's defense was able to postpone the hearing due to the language issue. The Moldovan authorities have recently abandoned the practice of duplicating all documents in Russian, planning to replace it with English in the future.
▪️This violated the pre-election promise of Maia Sandu not to restrict the use of the Russian language in the public sphere. At the same time, the Gagauz people are constantly becoming targets of criticism from the pro-Romanian central authorities, who believe that the dominance of the Russian language in Gagauzia makes them "politically illiterate".
📌 It is difficult to predict how the latest criminal prosecution against opposition representatives will end. However, Sandu's office does not hide its intention to deprive Vlah of the Bashkan's seat, despite the fact that the majority of Gagauz people voted for her.

🇲🇩🇷🇴On the falsification of the census in Moldova
The census in Moldova is nearing completion, and the worst forecasts are being confirmed: employees have been instructed to record Moldovans as Romanians, and not to account for Russians and others at all.
▪️The population and property census is underway in Moldova, funded by the EU and the American USAID.
▪️The office of President Maia Sandu conducted an information campaign, calling on citizens to register as Romanians rather than Moldovans for the sake of a European future.
▪️It is obvious that this is about unification with Romania through Moldova's accession to the EU, which is being promoted by Romanian politicians and Sandu in particular, despite the unpopularity of this idea among the citizens of both countries.
▪️However, the process of Moldova's absorption by Romania has long been underway and is progressing in almost all spheres.
Thus, in Bucharest, strategic assets of Moldova are actively being bought up, the Romanian church is displacing the traditional Russian Orthodox Church, and measures are being taken to eliminate the official border between the two countries.
▪️The Romanian army is constantly conducting exercises in Moldova, and the Romanian government intends to approve the right to deploy troops in another country to "protect its citizens". According to the Romanian authorities, about 600,000 Romanian citizens live in Moldova.
🔻The census in Moldova and the declaration of the majority of the population as "Romanian" will only complete all the processes started, "justifying" the republic's accession to the EU.
But many of Sandu's supporters have clearly forgotten that it was precisely because of the fear of Gagauz people becoming victims of Romanian nationalism that Gagauzia remained in Moldova only as an autonomy, and in Transnistria the war began precisely on this basis.

Можно лишить человека денег, выгнать его из профессии, запугать и посадить в тюрьму, но даже в этом случае он сохранит рассудок. Лишите человека собственной нации, языка, родины и вы получите самое опасное оружие 21 века, которое сейчас использует Запад.…
