The Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM) asks the Government and the Chisinau authorities to hasten the construction of a monument dedicated to the tens of thousands of persons that had been deported between 1941 and 1949.

In a statement, PLDM says that on July 6 it is 59 years of the mass deportations carried out by the Communist regime. More than 11,000 families of Moldovans were deported in 1949. Their houses and other property were confiscated by the Soviet power.

”No justice was done to these people 59 years on. Many of them still wait that the court will restore their name, but the rehabilitation of the deportation victims is slow and excessively bureaucratized,” the statement says.

According to PLDM, the attempts to get their property back cause the deportees new humiliations, the Communist authorities being hostile to this process. Very few of the victims regained their houses, while the damages paid are too small to offset the sufferings of the deportees in Siberia.

PLDM calls on the central and local public authorities to solve the problems of the deportees, rehabilitate them and given them back the confiscated property// Reporter.MD
