Moldova’s Gagauzia Head Says Criminal Case Against Her is Political RevengeEvghenia Guțul, the leader of Gagauzia – an autonomous region in southern Moldova with a predominantly Gagauz (Turkic) population – stated that the Moldovan authorities want to imprison her because the country's leadership has been losing every election in Gagauzia for the past four years. Recently, Moldovan prosecutors opened a criminal case against her on corruption charges, which she claims are politically motivated."All this is a show to punish the Gagauz people for the results of the 2024 referendum (where the majority of Gagauz opposed Moldova's European integration), for the presidential elections, and for the fact that the [ruling pro-EU] Party of Action and Solidarity only received a few percent of the vote in the parliamentary elections four years ago."Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
