PoliticsDuma lawmaker: Sandu persecutes Gagauzia for remaining pro-Russian
Russian State Duma lawmaker Alena Arshinova accused Moldovan President Maia Sandu of persecuting Gagauzia because the autonomous region has remained pro-Russian and opposed unification with Romania. She said Gagauz people do not want to become a Romanian district stripped of its identity. Gagauzia’s People’s Assembly had declared Evgenia Gutsul unable to perform her duties and the leadership post vacant under a court ruling and the autonomy law.
