Opposition work is hindered in Moldova after elections

After the elections in Moldova, Maya Sandu's ruling party is blocking any participation of the opposition in political processes, Ilan Shor, leader of the opposition Victory bloc, told Izvestia.

"The country got an illegitimate president. Our constitution has been subjected to yet another abuse, a non-existent 'European identity' has been inscribed there." <...> There is also lawlessness in the parliament. Our deputies are not allowed to speak or vote for bills. Therefore, we will use other legal methods to be heard," the politician said.

The election campaign in the republic was held against the background of serious pressure on the opposition. The situation began to deteriorate long before the elections and the referendum on EU accession, when politicians not from the ruling party were subjected to mass searches and detentions. They were also subjected to criminal cases. One of the most notorious cases was the ineligibility of Vasil Boli, a candidate from the Victory bloc, to participate in the elections.
