European Parliament to debate the Moldovan situation on Tuesday evening
In the wake of recent street protests and warnings of a coup, MEPs will debate the challenges facing the EU candidate country Moldova on Tuesday evening, the European Parliament.
A statement by the EU foreign policy chief on the situation in Moldova will be adopted during the session, and a resolution on the situation will be put to the vote at a forthcoming plenary session.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu recently warned that Russia wants to stage a coup d'état in her country, including through sabotage and fomenting civil unrest, as a way of stopping the country's EU integration process.
At the same time, IGP chief Viorel Chernateanu said on Sunday, 12 March, that the police had foiled a plan hatched by the Russian Federation's specialised services to destabilise the situation in Moldova by organising provocations during mass protests.
According to him, people with certain insignia who were supposed to stand in front of the column of protesters and ensure the provocation of the police forces and create corridors for other citizens to destabilise the situation were to be paid 10 thousand dollars each.
