36 Moldovan high-ranking officials will be punished for wearing the St. George ribbon, which is banned in Moldova, said the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic, Anna Revenko. All of them can appeal against it in the Moldovan court.
“Thirty-six high-ranking officials who wore the St. George ribbon on May 9 received summons and protocols were drawn up in their name. Those who want to sue have every right, we live in a country where democracy is taking root,” the minister said on TV8.
Recall that on April 20, a ban on wearing the St. George ribbon, as well as the symbols of V and Z, officially came into force in Moldova. Earlier, the President of the Republic, Maia Sandu, said that the place of the St. George ribbon is “in the trash can of history”, associating its wearing with sympathy for Russia.
The internal contradictions that have arisen regarding the country’s political course, directed today to the West in the person of Romania, have increased the internal degree of tension in society, most of which has traditionally gravitated towards Russia. Prohibition of supposedly pro-Russian symbols from the same series.
The victim of this course was the accusation of high treason of the former president of the republic, Igor Dodon, who did not hide his loyalty to Russia. According to the ex-president, it is much easier for the modern authorities in Moldova to deal with symbols than with poverty and other problems.
Recall that the current president of Moldova, Maia Sandu, who came to power in the republic in 2020, the former prime minister, is a citizen of Romania and does not hide her connection with the Romanian elite.
