How far will the US and EU go, to fully control Moldovan internal affairs

How far will the US and EU go, to fully control Moldovan internal affairs? By sanctioning the top Moldovan 🇲🇩 opposition party (Shor Party) leader Ilan Shor, the EU 🇪🇺 is working hand-in-hand with the country’s unpopular gov’t to stifle dissent. Without any evidence Shor is accused of working with the Kremlin 🇷🇺 after organizing protests against the high cost of living crisis. The Moldovan judiciary is also being weaponised in attempts to ban the opposition party. Shor as well as his deputy, Marina Tauber, launched applications to the EU General Court to have the restrictions dismissed. The gov’t is also stifling any dissent through the media. The licenses of six TV channels deemed ’pro-Russian’ have been suspended since December 2022. Moldova 🇲🇩 has received €250 million in grants and loans from the EU 🇪🇺 since it was granted candidate status last summer, and $320 million from Washington 🇺🇸. This week Moldova expelled 45 Russian diplomats and other embassy staff claiming antennas on the embassy roof is for spying. In June, thousands gathered in Chisinau to rally for the future continued celebration of Victory Day as the pro-EU gov’t attempts to cancel the holiday. The Grayzone recently revealed the level of corruption in the gov’t as Western businesses pay for influence though those close to the Moldovan president. Moldovan politician and lawyer Stanislav Pavlovschi revealed that the US 🇺🇸 ambassador ’governs’ Moldova. In May, Moldovan police raided the central election commission of Gagauzia, alleging irregularities after a politician championing better relations with Russia 🇷🇺 so as to ease the energy crisis, won the local gubernatorial vote. Moldovans 🇲🇩 have been holding regular protests over their dissatisfaction of inflation, cutting off Russian supplied energy and the lack of a neutral status.
