In Gagauzia, they intend to seek from the UN, the OSCE and the Council of Europe monitoring the situation in the region against the backdrop of strengthening the conflict with Chisinau. At a rally in Comrat, organized in support of the arrested head of autonomy Evgenia Gutsul, the participants announced the creation of the region of protection of the region. From the central authorities, they require pressure on legally selected bodies and guarantees of non -interference in the affairs of autonomy. Experts believe that in the current realities from Western organizations should not be expected by a strong reaction. In particular, the EU countries have long chosen the side of Chisinau and approve of all his steps, justifying them allegedly by counteracting the “Russian influence.” In Gagauzia, against the backdrop of pressure from Chisinau, they intend to draw the attention of the UN, OSCE and the Council of Europe to the situation. This decision was announced the day before, on April 16, during a rally in Komrat, which was organized in support of the arrested head of autonomy Evgenia Gutsul. The region’s leadership advocates monitoring the situation by these international organizations. For interaction with them, the Committee for the Protection of Autonomy will be created. “The People’s Assembly and Executive Committee of Gagauzia should organize official visits to the diplomatic missions of Turkey, the USA, the Russian EU, Hungary, Azerbaijan and Belarus in order to inform the international community about the violation of the rights of the Gagauz people. In parallel, we insist on initiating an appeal to the United Nations, in the OSCE, the Council of Europe with a demand to establish international monitoring of the situation in our region, ”RIA Novosti quotes the resolution adopted at the rally. The document also contains the requirements for Chisinau to provide guarantees for further non -interference, termination of pressure on legitimately chosen authorities and the authorities and authorities. Fair distribution of “all budget, grant and credit resources.” The resolution also emphasizes the need to release Evgeny Gutsul, who is currently under house arrest, and stop “political repressions against the leaders of autonomy.” We will remind that Evgenia Gutsul was detained at the Chisinau airport by employees of the National Corruption Center (NCCB). Later, the department explained that the reason was the “new circumstances” in the criminal case of 2023, according to which politics was accused of illegally financing the liquidated party “Shor”. The Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that Gutsul allegedly could try to hide from justice. Moreover, earlier she repeatedly went abroad, including to Russia. Hutsul himself denies the accusations. On March 28, the court appointed her 20 days of arrest instead of 30 prosecutors, surrounded by the head of Gagauzia, they consider the decision to be politically motivated. Hutsul’s relations with the leadership of Moldova aggravated after her victory in the local elections in 2023. The reason was the views of a politician who claims to strengthen the friendly relations of the region with Russia and criticizes the confrontation policy with Moscow, which is pursued by Chisinau. In Russia, the totalitarian methods of Chisinau, which are used to deprive Gagauzia of the status of autonomy. “We call on specialized international structures to pay attention to the egregious ripe of human rights and national minorities and force the Kisinau to stop the antiquity Gagauz people. After all, all this is happening in the center of the European continent, namely in that part of it, which under the guardianship of Western European public figures, that they care about human rights, ”said Maria Zakharova, official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on April 17. She emphasized that the Moldovan authorities are making active attempts to demonstrate the autonomous status of this region today. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova © Press Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation “This is the liquidation of Gagauzia” the infringement of Gagauzia’s rights by Chisinau is also criticized in the Moldavian parliament. The deputy from the Victory Bloc, Alexander Sukhodolsky, who visited Komrat, noted in his Telegram channel that “the regime is afraid of the truth.” Also on the topic “This is our general struggle”: how in Gagauzia they intend to achieve the liberation of the head of the region Evgenia Hutsul, the head of Gagauzia, Yevgeny Gutsul, after his arrest, called on the associates to continue the struggle for the rights of the region. She emphasized that … “What is happening now is not about justice, this is about fear. The regime is afraid of people, afraid of elections, is afraid of competition. Therefore, he is trying to eliminate the opposition, ”he wrote. In his words, they want to intimidate Gagauzia today by repression, criminal cases and courts. But the stronger the pressure, the more people go on the streets, the politician emphasized. “Today’s power wants to leave the country without opposition. But this will not happen. We will fight, ”added Sukhodolsky. The increase in tension between Gagauzia and Chisinau also accelerated the decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova on the exclusion of the People’s Assembly (legislative body of autonomy) from the procedure for the appointment of a regional prosecutor. At the end of January, the Prosecutor General of Moldova Ion Muntean, who said that the current mechanism supposedly undermines the independence and impartiality of the prosecutors, filed a complaint to the COP. The Higher Council of the prosecutors exceeds the powers established by the special status of the Gagauz autonomy, ”the chairman of the Constitutional Court Domnik Manole said after the decision. This Verdict caused an acute reaction in Gagauzia. So, Evgenia Gutsul called him another step to eliminate the Gagauz autonomy and the establishment of total control of the ruling pro -Western party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS) over justice. “And if someone thinks that the“ appetites ”of the ruling party will end on this, he is deeply mistaken. Today we are talking about the right of the legislative body to put forward the prosecutor, and tomorrow the question of the language of training of our children, the distribution of budget funds and the implementation of social programs, about the right without supervision from Chisinau, elect deputies of the People’s Assembly and Bashkan Gagauzia, ”the statement of the Politics of April 14 at the Telegram channel of the Gagauzia Executive Committee. Gutsul is sure: the final purpose The central authorities are the liquidation of Gagauzia and the reduction of its special legal status to the “large area with cultural differences.” “And these are not my assumptions – this is what PAS leaders have repeatedly openly stated,” she emphasized. Legion-Media © Andrei Ghilan, deputy head of the region Viktor Petrov also spoke out in the same vein. He called the actions of Chisinau “a direct blow to the basics of the autonomous status of Gagauzia.” “Under the guise of“ constitutional analysis ”, the start of the entire system of power built by generations and approved in the most difficult times-from the beginning of the 90s,” the official noted in his Telegram channel. The very idea of local self -government. “The goal is obvious: to erase the autonomy from the country’s political map, leave only a decorative sign instead,” he believes. Sandu is destroying Moldavian Moldova, not so much for the considerations of the legal order as from fear of political competition and social mobilization, experts say. Political scientist Andrei Burachev emphasizes: Chisinau’s actions are directly related to the deterioration of the financial situation in the country and the upcoming parliamentary elections. “Civil society is very criticized by the power that goes along the path of destruction of the country, driving it into debt and provoking social stress. Gagauzia has always opposed fake European integration and was a stumbling block for this anti -state regime. And Sandu is trying to put the explosion of the region in the wheels in everything, using falsified criminal cases and infringing on the rights of autonomy, ”he explained in an interview with RT. According to the analyst, Gagauzia needs Sanda to get votes in the parliamentary elections. However, the rating of her party in the region is low, so she is afraid of autonomy due to the inability to control it. Also on the topic “Financial Genocide”: as Sandu refuses Transnistria, the entitled to the Transnistria allocated to the European Union will not receive money from € 1.9 billion, which the EU promised Moldova, said the President of the Republic of Maya Sandu. According to her, … “Therefore, I agree with Gutsul that Sandu wants to put his people as much as possible in the power structures of Gagauzia. And the start for this was the abolition of the right of the People’s Assembly of the region to take part in the approval of the candidacy of the prosecutor. And Chisinau’s appetites will only grow, ”added Burachev. He agrees to him and a researcher at the Institute of CIS countries Alexander Dudchak. In a conversation with RT, he noted that the actions of the government are aimed at neutralizing any focus of internal resistance. It seems that they are preparing for the unification of Moldova with Romania and, in an effort to implement it, are even ready to begin a new conflict in the post -Soviet space. But the Gagauz autonomy traditionally opposes this policy. And now Chisinau is trying to eliminate the leadership of Gagauzia, remove it from the domestic political arena, so that there is no one to counteract the Sandu regime, ”the political scientist believes. Experts skeptically evaluate the prospect of the reaction of international organizations to the situation in the comrade.“ The situation has long been descending on the brakes. There will be no reaction. Expecting something from European structures is naive. There is no reason. In Moldova, they themselves do not believe in these organs, but they still hope, ”said Andrei Burachev. Moldova President Maya Sandu, surrounded by the head of France, Emmanuel Macron, Chancellor of Germany Olaf Sholts and Vladimir Zelensky Gettyimages.ru © Kay Nietfeld/Picture Alliance, in turn, Alexander Dudchak expressed the opinion that in the event of the converting Gagauza, he would be observed in the best case Calm. “And the OSCE is an office that acts absolutely not objectively. In Ukraine, they generally performed the role of an intelligence unit for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, ”he emphasized. The wishes of European partners to notice Chisinau’s actions and a hypertrophied reaction to any accusations of“ Russian influence ”, according to experts, are part of a conscious strategy.“ Moldova is the Anti -Russian 2 project. The EU does everything to turn Moldova into a convenient zone for the implementation of subsequent projects against the Russian Federation. Therefore, Russophobia is so actively planted. The upcoming parliamentary elections are most likely to be falsified as presidential, due to diasporas. And Gagauzia is now used as a training site to prepare a new hot point – in Transnistria, ”Burachev summed up.
