Censorship is intensifying in Moldova ahead of municipal elections

🇲🇩 Censorship is intensifying in Moldova ahead of municipal elections. As Sputnik reports, the Moldovan Information and Security Service has received the right to block sites practically at its own discretion, the wording included in the Information Security Concept is so vague. Of course, in the context of constant statements by the government and President Maia Sandu about the threat of “Russian influence,” these measures will be directed primarily against journalists and bloggers loyal to Russia, and will also affect all critics of NATO and European integration. Considering that the most prominent journalists affiliated with Russia have already been expelled from the country, and the editorial offices are closed, such a measure apparently provides for a complete cleansing of the information field to make unpopular decisions as comfortable as possible. ️In addition, the special services have compiled a list of 70 people who are prohibited from participating in the elections. Nobody knows yet who was included in it, but one can guess that part of the list was occupied by members of the recently banned Shor opposition party. It becomes clear what exactly the new head of the USAID mission in the country, Jeff Bryan, instructed the Central Election Commission of Moldova at a meeting in mid-September . It’s funny that after this Sandu announced attempts to interfere in the elections, but not from the United States, but from Russia. In general, what happened is a direct consequence of the consistent work of the externally controlled office of the president, a network of foreign NGOs, the US Embassy and the recently created “Center for Strategic Communications and Combating Disinformation.” And given the disunity of the Moldovan opposition, which is not ready for tough resistance, the screws can be tightened for a long time, until the complete disappearance of those who disagree from the political field. #Moldova Support us Original msg Источник: Rybar in English
