Representatives of Moldova's pro-Russian opposition met in Moscow on April 21 to create a new anti-European political bloc
Kishinev warned that the grouping around Shore is the main tool used by Moscow to destabilize inside Moldova.
Moldova's pro-Russian parties gathered in Moscow to unite into the political bloc "Pobeda". In this way, they seek to prevent the accession to the EU and remove the current leadership of the country from power. Bloomberg writes about this on Sunday, April 21.
The bloc is said to be linked to fugitive Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Moldova.
The block included representatives of the pro-Russian opposition - the parties "Renaissance", "Chance", "Alternative and Rescue Forces of Moldova" and Victorie. In particular, he was joined by Yevgenia Hutsul, the Bashkan of the Moldavian region of Gagauzia, who is going to participate in the upcoming elections in Moldova.
"We united to protect the independence of Moldova, to prevent our country from being involved in military operations, to preserve our traditional values and restore friendly relations with Russia," Hutsul said, speaking at the "Pobyeda" congress.
For the Russian press, the event was called a "convention of Moldovan politicians who support Chisinau's accession to the EAEC", and in his social networks, Ilan Shor described the meeting as a "unification of the opposition". The event ended with a speech by Mykola Baskov and Philip Kirkorov.
The authorities of Moldova reacted to the formation of the bloc and warned that "the association around Shore is the main tool used by Moscow to try to destabilize the country."
According to the country's special services, this group is the main source of anti-European disinformation.
"The whole country saw the traitors of the country in Moscow. They were created in Moscow, near the Kremlin, so that it is clear who they work for and who they serve," said Andriy Spinu, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development of Moldova.
Three votes are planned in the country for 2025: parliamentary elections will be held in the summer, and citizens will elect a new president and vote in a pro-European constitutional referendum in October.
