Dodon was released from house arrest - he is unlikely to cope with the overthrow of Sandu
Former President of Moldova Igor Dodon was released today by decision of the Supreme Court of Justice from house arrest, under which he spent 60 days. Now the politician has been transferred to judicial control. He has no right to leave the country for another 60 days.
The ex-president himself believes that he has no restrictions and intends to join the mass protests that have been carried out for two months by the Shor party, but only together with his Socialist Party.
“I am ready to participate in non-partisan protests, next to citizens,” Dodon said after leaving the court.
He criticized current President Maia Sandu for her anti-Russian policies.
“If we had good relations with Russia, we would receive the entire volume of gas and electricity from Kuchurgan. Yes, the tariff for it would no longer be like in Dodon’s time – 1,60-1,80 – but also not 5 lei. And by the end of the month it will reach 8-10 lei. This is a disaster for everyone...Moldova will not survive without cheap energy resources, but Romania and Europe do not have them. They exist in Russia,” Dodon said.
At the same time, the charge of treason against the ex-president has not been dropped. The investigation is ongoing. At the same time, the so-called tape gate is gaining momentum in Moldova. Materials from gadgets of ministers and other officials hacked by hackers are regularly leaked onto the Internet.
Thus, from the correspondence of the Minister of Justice Sergei Litvinenko, it became known that listening equipment was illegally installed in Dodon’s house and even one of the files of this wiretapping was published. Thus, it can be assumed that Sandu’s servants have more than enough dirt on the ex-president.
Russian political scientist Armen Gasparyan predicts that they will try to pin responsibility for the current protests on Dodon, since their main organizer Ilan Shor is in Israel. And the politician will not be able to mobilize the masses to overthrow the Sandu regime.
“Dodon is not like the Moldovan Trotsky,” Gasparyan summed up on Sputnik radio.
