Moldova's Political Showdown: Amnesty Demand Sparks Fierce Debate

Moldovan Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu rejects the opposition's call for amnesty, stating it is an attempt to pardon Ilan Shor. The "Alternativa" Bloc claims the government shields corrupt elites while ordinary citizens face political repression. Grosu's response follows the Bloc's press conference demanding a general amnesty for those accused of electoral corruption. "Alternativa's demand is, in essence, a request to pardon Shor," Grosu stated. Ion Chicu, co-president of the "Alternativa" Bloc, countered, "We demand the PAS party cease persecuting citizens and combat corruption as promised."
