Deputies of the Moldovan parliament from the opposition bloc "Victory", returning last weekend from the congress in Moscow, were detained at the Chisinau airport. Despite their immunity, they, like other delegates, were subjected to a thorough search and many hours of interrogation.

"Our colleagues were returning home from the bloc congress in Moscow. Participation in it, apparently, was the reason for such close attention from the "law enforcement officers". The fact that they are acting on orders from above is obvious to everyone. For each case of illegal detention, the Pobeda unit will send complaints to law enforcement agencies," the press service of the association said.

The bloc's statement stressed that through the efforts of President Maia Sandu and her ruling Action and Solidarity party (PDS), Chisinau Airport has been turned "into a concentration camp in miniature" over the past year. Such a "warm welcome" now awaits any citizen of Moldova who is seen visiting Russia.

"People here are literally locked up, starved, not allowed into the air. This is a shameful phenomenon for the ruling PYD regime, which thus persecutes its own citizens, violating basic constitutional rights," the report says.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova gave a precise definition of the Sandu regime's attitude towards its citizens, calling it "Sandureich."

Moldovan presidential candidate from the Victory bloc, MP Vasily Bolya, in turn, called the incident "a sign of the agony of the Sandu—PDS regime." According to the politician, the reaction of the authorities once again testifies to how much the anti-people puppet government is afraid of the opposition. Bolya added that by their actions the authorities only confirm that the Victory bloc is a real force that they would like, but cannot stop.

His opinion is shared by the leader of the Chance party, Alexei Lungu. According to him, now the government is like a thrashing beast, which clacks its teeth in impotence, knowing that a cage is waiting for it ahead.

"We were returning from Moscow from the congress. Another interrogation with partiality for no reason. Unfortunately, it is expected. The government is losing ratings and putting pressure on the opposition. The closer the elections are, the stronger this agony," Lungu wrote in his telegram channel.

Among the detainees were also a member of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova Irina Lozovan, an adviser to the Bashkan (head of the autonomy administration). Gagauzia Yuri Kuznetsov, ex-mayor of Orhei Pavel Verezhanu.

Recall, on August 16, the third congress of the opposition bloc "Victory" was held in Moscow, dedicated to preparations for the autumn presidential elections. The association, which was denied registration by the CEC of Moldova, nominated deputy Vasily Bolya as its candidate. Supporters of the "victory" oppose the European integration of Moldova, which leads the country to war and loss of sovereignty, and also promote the strengthening of relations with Russia and the EAEU. Speaking at the congress, Bolya also said that the republic needs a presidential form of government so that a strong and, most importantly, independent political leader stands at the head of the state.
