A factory in Tiraspol suspends its activity and accuses Chisinau of blocking its exports. Details of the authoritiesților

A factory in Tiraspol that deals with the production of electric cars with alternating current suspends its activity. The media from the Transnistrian region writes about this fact and mentions that almost 600 people have now lost their jobs. The separatist leader, Vadim Krasnoselski, accuses the Chisinau authorities of trying to block the factory's activity. The Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Oleg Serebrian, rejected the accusations, saying that the problem was caused by the war started by the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

The Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration says that he spoke with the director of the company that stopped its activity and that solutions are being sought to change the destinations to which the factory exports.

"The problem is not related to the aspect of reintegration, but to that of security, the commission that works in the field of dual-use goods. The products that some companies export from both the right and the left of the Nistru can be qualified as dual-purpose products, which means they can also be used in military purpose", said Oleg Serebrian.

The factory in Tiraspol that suspended its activity also produced fans, but also equipment for the coal, oil or gas industry. The machines were delivered to more than 40 world countries.
