In Chisinau, Plahotniuc’s children unconventionally gave Euro-optimists a nightmare
A group of unknown protesters disrupted an action of the pro-European bloc ACUM today in the center of Chisinau against increases in prices for gasoline, diesel fuel and agricultural products.
About 100 people who had gathered for the rally were half-heartedly chanting “Down with the mafia” in front of the government building when a large group of teenagers in gauze bandages with slogans and horns suddenly appeared there.
They began shouting insults at ACUM leaders: “Maia Sandu, be a man”, “Nastase fagot!”, “Better work than protest.” There were more teenagers and they screamed louder.
At first, the police did not understand that these were different actions, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In another group of people, everyone was sure that these were the same people who were going to the protest. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken all necessary measures. Now all people are safe and can protest calmly,” said police colonel Gheorghe Cavcaliuc.
Civil activist Mikhail Bagas admitted on Facebook that he was disappointed with the action, which both sides used for their own PR.
“Some shouted Jos Mafia, others Jos Maia Sandu and Nastase. This farce continued for an hour, and it became clear that everyone had already forgotten about gasoline and potatoes. While some were shouting, others were giving interviews and live shows. As a result, everyone dispersed, joyfully clapping their hands, how well done everyone was, both some and others - and we were left with the same prices for gasoline and potatoes,” Bagas wrote.
Diplomat Alexei Tulbure is convinced that “their children” were paid for by the oligarch “owner of Moldova” Vlad Plahotniuc and sees this as a bad sign against the backdrop of the ongoing parliamentary crisis in the country.
“Everyone was waiting for a briefing from Plahotniuc, but he organized a rehearsal for the pogrom. Until rehearsal. No casualties so far. Will our unfortunate oppositionists wait until they start killing them, or will they negotiate? Against the backdrop of all this inaction, the opposition is taken aback. I don’t think it’s necessary to go out to protests today. The current opposition has exhausted all its street protest potential,” Tulbure wrote on Facebook.
