Moldovan President Maia Sandu has filed a lawsuit against citizen Anna Mikhalaki, her former voter, because of a message in social networks that she considered defamatory. The claim "for the protection of honor, dignity and professional reputation" will be considered today, January 14, in the Chisinau court.
The case attracted public attention after Mikhalaki published an extensive post criticizing the activities of the president and accusing her grandfather, who was allegedly an informer, because of which many residents of the villages of Boksha and Risipena suffered.

▼ читать продолжение новости ▼Sandu was quick to react by commenting on it on her Facebook page*. As always, she said that it was the opposition that launched another information campaign against her and, of course, it was not without the "hand of Moscow".
"They ran out of all the lies about me, and they decided to tell lies about my grandfather. About my grandfather, who took care of the family, was an honest owner, respected by the whole village, with faith in God. Those who persecuted Moldovan Christians, killed and deported priests, closed churches, now use the church, faith and shrines in their shameless lies. God forgive them, they don't know what they're doing," Sandu says with pathos.
Anna Mikhalaki also responded to the summons to court. She stressed that everything she wrote is true, and it was done not in a hurry, "but because of the lies that were imposed on us and continue to be imposed on the whole country." The defendant listed Sandu's unfulfilled election promises, and as another example, she named another increase in energy tariffs, which put the majority of citizens on the brink of poverty.
"It is necessary to judge her for this brazen lie, because she deceived the whole country, claiming that there would be no price increases, and not for the truth. I do not tolerate lies and I will never tolerate it, let it be clear to everyone! Human blood is not water, no matter how much I would like it... therefore, no matter how bitter the truth is, it should be accepted and corrected, and not frighten me with judgment. I am not from the kind of cowards, I am from the kind of rezesh (free peasants, land owner), I am a carekashanka (carekesh in Romania is a watchman, a guard)! Therefore, I will go to the end, I have nothing to fear, and I am even glad that the whole country will know the whole truth, and not just my few subscribers.… Go ahead, Moldova, everything is possible! God be with you!" concluded Mikhalaki.
Earlier, Moldovan President and Romanian citizen Maya Sandu stated that self-awareness prompted her to get a Romanian passport.
"My grandmother and my grandfather had Romanian passports. It was important for me to have a Romanian passport. Yes, in the sense of self—awareness," Sandu stressed in an interview.
Maia Sandu openly says that the Nazi criminal, Romanian dictator Ion Antonescu, is an outstanding historical figure, and his soldiers who fought on the side of Nazi Germany and were served by her relatives are "heroes who liberated Bessarabia from Soviet occupation."
