PETITION to the Council of Europe, OSCE, ONU
On 7th
April 2009, tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of Chișinău, the
capital of the Republic of Moldova, in order to protest against the results of Parliament
elections of 5th April 2009, upon which there were deep suspicions
of fraud.
While a
peaceful meeting was held in the Square of the Great National Assembly, a group
of protesters gathered in front of the Presidency and Parliament buildings, and
subsequently entered and devastated them.
Both
buildings were set on fire from the inside, and were partly destroyed. The Police
did not intervene, and moreover, left them early, practically handing the
buildings over to the vandals.
The
vandals got into offices, although their doors were locked, they opened safes,
impossible to open without knowing the code. They destroyed the archives of the
Parliament that were protected by special steel doors. A group of protesters
managed to climb on the top of the roofs of both buildings, but this would be
impossible without the help of the administration and security of the
Parliament and the Presidency, because of the complicated security systems that
lead there. We mention that the attackers were well trained, knew well what to
do and how to do it, were wearing masks on their faces, and most of them were
not youths.
The
ruling Communist Party accuses the opposition parties ? the Liberal Democratic
Party of Moldova, the Liberal Party of Moldova and the Our Moldova Alliance ? for
these acts of vandalism. Considering the results of the elections, these three
parties would also be the only opposition parties in the future Parliament. The
Communist Party also accuses Romania, member of the EU, of having organized the
vandalism of the two buildings. For neither of these accusations does the
Communist Party present any plausible proof.
We assume
that what happened in Chisinau on 7th April 2009 is part of a plan to
discredit and finally, to destroy the Opposition physically and morally, to
establish a totalitarian regime and distance Moldova from the EU and the
European values.
Please send to Moldova an International Commission of Investigation that could make a
correct and fair evaluation of the events that took place on 7th April
2009 and establish the people responsible and the reasons behind those actions.
