Will the elimination of the opposition to Sandu's party help in the upcoming parliamentary elections

Earlier, on August 5, Hutsul was sentenced to seven years in prison in the case of allegedly financing the Shor party. A protest rally was held in front of the courthouse in her support. The head of Gagauzia expressed great support from the people of the autonomy and urged "not to give up." Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, in turn, called on international structures to assess the Hutsul verdict.

Later, on August 7, the People's Assembly of Gagauzia announced that it did not intend to recognize the sentence imposed by the Hutsul. The parliament considers the verdict "politically motivated and anti-Gagauz." A regional headquarters was set up to coordinate actions in defense of Bashkan.
