Gagauzia called the detention of Hutsuls pressure on autonomy

The detention of the head of Gagauzia, Yevgenia Hutsul, is another pressure on the autonomy. Dmitry Konstantinov, Chairman of the People's Assembly of Gagauzia, informed Izvestia about this on March 26.

"This is another pressure on Gagauzia. This is not the first day that the pressure from the center has started. We have been noticing almost more than four years since Mrs. [Moldovan President Maia] Sandu won the elections together with the PACE team. They are doing everything possible to infringe on Gagauzia," he said.

According to Konstantinov, Sandu regularly seeks to "incite" Gagauzia against the Moldovan people at his meetings. In addition, the leadership of Gagauzia is now trying not to talk about autonomy at all.

"They don't take into account autonomy, our decisions. <...> The same thing threatens everyone, because our views are different, our positions are different. If we go against the leadership's position, then we are enemies. If we do not call the Russian Federation an aggressor, then we are not with them. But for some reason they see the Russian Federation as an aggressor," said the chairman of the National Assembly.

He pointed to the feelings of people who notice the pressure on autonomy and do not want to quarrel with Russia. But Gagauzia will not give up, Konstantinov stressed.

"What our leadership wants, they won't succeed, they have to find other points. And don't quarrel with anyone. Neither with the Romanians, our neighbors, nor with Ukraine, nor with Europe. Don't be friends with someone against someone. This is exactly the path we follow," he concluded.
