I am addressing those from Cahul, Leova, Cantemir, Anenii Noi, Nisporeni to mobilize to vote. It is a déjà vu that a few years ago the separatist regime that has nothing to do with the democratic processes in the Republic of Moldova, especially the European one, is visible and we have evidence that the bridge is full. Manipulated, coerced, blackmailed and corrupt people are taken to vote on the right bank. That's why we must also mobilize from abroad to vote", said the Parliament Speaker.

In this context, the IGP informs that any violation will be documented by the law enforcement officers.
"We will certainly make every effort to guarantee and to ensure the right to vote of every citizen, and if such persons as we communicated about will be identified, after the documentation by the law enforcement officers, they can certainly vote , it is important to do it with their own consent. We recommend all citizens to behave appropriately and correctly in society, to have an electoral vote without deviations and violations", reads the statement.
