Daniel Vodă about the state of emergency: “The government is managing the challenges generated by Russia’s destabilizing tactics”

The government has requested the establishment of a state of emergency due to a complex situation that poses a risk of a humanitarian crisis on the left bank of the Nistru. This situation arises from the actions of the Russian Federation and uncertainties regarding gas supplies to the Transnistrian region. Government spokesman Daniel Vodă provided these clarifications after some opposition MPs expressed concerns about the state of emergency declared by the Legislative. He emphasized that the legislation of the Republic of Moldova recognizes the state of emergency as a necessary tool for managing crises.
