One group was reportedly trained to break through police lines during protests, and to throw stones and smoke bombs to create chaos.

After returning to the Republic of Moldova, they were stopped by the border police, who took their passports and took them to a room at Chisinau International Airport, where they were held for approximately two hours.

And the Moldovan TV channel TV8 reported on several dozen young people who were “training” at a resort in Turkey for three days. They returned to Chisinau on Monday, and a team of reporters from the TV channel went to meet them at the airport.

TV8 reporters reported that they saw several men with athletic build heading towards minibuses that were waiting for them in a parking lot in the area. Some of them tried to cover their faces, while others ran away to avoid being photographed.

“We have friends who help us and will help us to prevent them from escaping justice”

The Speaker of the Chisinau Parliament said on Radio Moldova on Monday evening that the Intelligence and Security Service (SIS) knows what the young people in question were doing in Turkey, as well as the money that was supposed to be brought from abroad. countries for protests.

He said that this confirms the statement made three weeks ago by President Maia Sandu regarding Moscow’s plans to destabilize the political situation in the Republic of Moldova.

• Thank God, we have friends who help us and will help us to prevent these people, conflict bandits, from escaping justice.
• Their goal is to escape from justice, to preserve the situation, and the Russian Federation, the Kremlin, have always relied on corrupt politicians. Because they are vulnerable and sell their country, their mother and everything,” said the president of the Moldovan parliament, quoted by desdechi.md.

“The Kremlin has always relied on corrupt politicians”

The leader of the Party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS, pro-European) Ihor Grosu is convinced that the protests organized by the so-called “People’s Movement” will be coordinated with Moscow.

• “It is about the partnership of corrupt politicians from the Republic of Moldova, a criminal group under the guise of the Shore Party and the Kremlin.
• They cannot come to terms with the fact that we have decided to be part of the civilized world, part of the EU. They do not like the changes taking place in the Republic of Moldova.
• Their goal is to avoid justice, but we will get sentences, their assets will be confiscated, and the money they stole will be returned,” Grosu said, referring to new protests announced by the party of fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor, sentenced to seven years. years and six months in prison for fraud and money laundering and is internationally wanted after fleeing the country.

The reaction of Shor’s party

The Shore party responded with a statement claiming that so far the only ones causing incidents at the protests would be law enforcement agencies “under the direct instruction of the Sandu-PAS regime”:

• “We categorically condemn any violent actions and ask the regime, as well as the politically controlled media, not to associate the Shore Party with destabilization scenarios in which PAS’s only interest is to maintain its leadership of the state by force.
• We have so far demonstrated that the actions we organize are peaceful, and we will continue to do so.
• The only ones who so far caused blockades and riots were the representatives of the police state under the direct instructions of the Sandu-PAS regime,” said the press release of the Shor formation, which recently organized several anti-government protests in Chisinau.

We will remind you that last month Maia Sandu accused Russia of preparing a coup d’état in Chisinau.

Maia Sandu spoke about Russia’s plans to remove power from Chisinau a few days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Moscow’s plan to destroy the Republic of Moldova.

In this context, the Prime Minister of Chisinau, Natalia Gavrylica, announced on February 10 her resignation from the post after a year and a half in office, which meant the fall of the entire government of the Republic of Moldova at a time when the country is facing an energy, economic and security crisis due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine . The President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, has nominated Dorin Rechan, the President’s adviser on defense and national security and the secretary of the Supreme Security Council, to the post of Prime Minister.
