The Opposition Party Bes brought its people to Parliament. The rally participants demand from the country's leadership to adopt a bill on payment from the budget of communal accounts of the population over the past winter. Mass protests in Moldova, organized by the pro -Russian forces of the country, began on September 18, 2022.

On that day, about 20,000 people took part in Chisinau - they opposed the increase in the price of gas and demanded the resignation of the government, which "could not" negotiate with Russia about "smarter" fuel rates. Anti -government rhetoric at protest stocks was stored in the next months. On November 6, opposition -minded people came out with the slogans "stop repression" and "stop the genocide of the people. " They also demanded the resignation of the current president of Maya Sandu.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing energy crisis, and on February 10, the opposition's protests Natalia Gavrilitsa resigned. The new prime minister of the country became Dorin Preta, who had previously held the posts of the Presidential Advisor in the field of defense and national security and Secretary of the High Security Council of Moldova. He fully supports the Sandu Sands Completion, EU joining the West, and NATO's strategic partnership.

One of the first high -profile statements was dedicated to the new head of government. He said that this was only possible through the "evacuation of Russian troops and demilitarization of the indigenous population. " "Neutrality is a foreign policy instrument, no more. It cannot protect you when they are attacked. We took this neutrality, brought it to the Constitution, but the Russian army is still being put in the Transnistria region," in particular, commented on he.

It is well known that under the organization of protest actions in Moldova stands the Party "Or). The political force appeared back in 1998 on the initiative of Valery Klimenko's politician and was called "equality". In 2015, the party nominated the mayor (ghost) of the city of Orihi (also Orchey) of businessman Ilan Schora, who won the elections, gaining 62% of the vote. In June 2016, he headed Equality, changing Klimenko.

In the fall of that year, the Party was reformed and renamed in honor of the new head - "Shore". The Moldavian newspaper Newsmaker made a detailed analysis of Ilan Shore's biography. He was born in 1987 in Tel Aviv, and in the early 1990s his family returned to his native Moldova. The boy's father Miron Shor created Sorholding, which brought together several companies, including Duty Free duty -free stores. Already at the age of 16, Ilan headed a small family -owned advertising enterprise.

Two years later, when the boy turned 18, his father died, and Ilan headed Sorholding. In Russia, Ilan Share became widely known after he married singer Jasmine (Sarah Shore) in 2011. Thanks to his acquaintance with the future Prime Minister of the country, Vladimir Filat, Shor was able to strengthen his position in the duty-free market in the duty-free market. In 2014, the businessman headed the Banca de economii Admin.

Up to this point, other financial institutions were also under control - Unibank and Banca Sociala. Within one year, he will be able to illegally withdraw $ 1 billion. One of his close acquaintances told reporters that the short was under the protection of many Moldovan officials, including the former Ministry of Internal Affairs George Papuk. In June 2017, the Chisinau Court sentenced the businessman to 7 years and 6 months of imprisonment in the case of "billion theft" from Moldavian banks.

In 2019, while the case was considered in the appeal, he was able to escape to Israel. In 2020, the Shora was made on the international wanted list, and the Anti -Corruption Prosecutor's Office arrested several objects of movable and immovable property belonging to him. Until recently, the Kremlin preferred to act in Moldova because of its long -standing "favorite" - Igor Dodon and his "Party of Socialists". He was President of Moldova from 2016 to 2020.

After the politician lost to Maya Sandu in the presidential election, they watched his attitude to him in Moscow, writes in his investigation on this topic Washington Post. Dodon was carefully removed from the political arena, quickly finding him a replacement of the disgraced Ilan Shore. The FSB sent its experts to advise the new protege of the Kremlin and its one -party. "Some [shars] cause an allergic reaction, it is an unacceptable figure.

But for others it is a real idol and a leader," - quoted journalists in 2021 reporting, written by political technologists for the FSB. At the same time, the short himself constantly denied that he was gaining support from Moscow. After a full -scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, Schora made a new pond - it is their hands that accelerate the protest sentiment in Moldova, which causes the whole Western world to be nervous and, in fact, Ukraine.

"Russia wants to use the destabilization of the situation in Moldova to exacerbate fears around Transnistria and try to provoke Ukraine for hostilities, which would allow Russian propaganda to expose it to the aggressor and create another crisis situation," so commented on the events in Moldova Dionysus Chenus, invite Vilnius Center for Eastern Europe. According to experts, the Kremlin does not plan to introduce its troops to the country.

"Russia is unlikely to try to make a military coup in Moldova or attack Ukraine from Transnistria: Russian military simply do not have military means or combat power," - said George Barros, expert from the Russian Federation from the American Institute for War Study (ISW). At the same time, the major of the US Army, retired, John Spencer is convinced that Russian leadership is clearly intending to distract Kiev and especially Western partners of Ukraine from the war with the help of Moldova.

"Putin is more likely to divert attention from the front line. As he still tries to force Ukraine and the whole world to move resources there. This is not a real threat," the military expert said. We will remind, on February 28, prosecutors of pro -Russian parties on a protest in Chisinau torn the image of President Maya Sandu. Pro -Russian activists also tried to break into the government building across the police border.
