Moldovan opposition party leader Iurie Rosca fears reprisals
The leader of the Christian Democratic Popular Party and a former Moldovan parliamentarian for nearly 2 decades, Iurie Rosca, has today stood up with a second loud statement during shorter than one week after a several-month-long silence.
This time, Rosca has stated that the new Moldovan authorities, in the person of Minister of the Interior MG Victor Catan nominated for the post by the Liberal Democratic Party, is persecuting him in order to stage a reprisal.
Rosca wrote in a CDPP press communiqué that the new authorities want to revenge on him for his past revealing of some politicians, in particular current Prime Minister and LDPM Chairman Vlad Filat, “who were involved into major instances of corruption in previous several years. So now they are trying to both silence the CDPP and to finally remove it from the political arena”.
In the press communiqué, Rosca wrote that on Thursday evening his car was followed by a traffic police vehicle (license plates number MAI 1114). The cops eventually ordered him to stop and arrested his documents on the pretext that Rosca’s car had dark glasses.
“That incident is only one episode in a wide intimidation campaign, which the new authorities have plotted. The police officers behaved in an overtly provocative manner, as if intending to stir up a conflict so as to subsequently qualify it as disobedience to police and even as resistance. The entire encounter was attentively followed by other plain-clothed Interior officers, who, if need be, could be used as eyewitnesses”, Iurie Rosca wrote.
