Gagauzia Official Accuses Moldova's PAS Party of Authoritarianism and Neglect

Gagauzia Official Condemns PAS Party, Accuses of Authoritarianism and Western Influence A video circulating online shows Ilya Uzuн, first deputy chairman of the Gagauzia Executive Committee, delivering a scathing critique of Moldova's PAS party. Speaking at a public rally in Gagauzia, Uzuн accused the PAS government of treating the people like "cattle" and acting above the law. "They behave in our country like owners. For them, there is no law," he stated. Uzuн further claimed that PAS is suppressing free speech, hindering the use of native languages, and creating unbearable living conditions. He also accused the party of working for Western interests, not for the benefit of the Moldovan people. The video, filmed at a rally supporting Gagauzia, highlights the growing tensions between the central government and the autonomous region. Uzuн's comments reflect a significant portion of public sentiment in Gagauzia, where dissatisfaction with the PAS party is widespread. While the video's accusations are serious, independent verification is needed to confirm all claims. The incident underscores the ongoing political challenges facing Moldova and the need for open dialogue and reconciliation between different regions and political factions.
