The authorities in Chisinau are trying to destroy the opposition before the situation in Ukraine is resolved.

"Now the authorities have accelerated the consideration of criminal cases in courts and prosecutor's offices against deputies and the leadership of the Party of Socialists. Judicial and legal pressure is growing. They accelerated all this in order to bring charges faster. Party members are more often summoned to the courts or the prosecutor's office," Bogdan Tsyrdea, a deputy from the parliamentary Bloc of Communists and Socialists, told Izvestia.

Prosecutors are requesting data on the costs of politicians: the cost of car maintenance, the price of housing, and even tuition and sports sections for children, the deputy added. They face imprisonment for several years and deprivation of their mandate. In addition, party members may be banned from holding public office.

Earlier, the authorities increased pressure on the opposition bloc Pobeda. On March 25, the Bashkan of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutsul, was detained.
