Combatants, who are members of the People’s Party of the Republic of Moldova (PPRM), accuse the administration of Dubasari district, especially its head Grigore Policinschi, of wanting to split society by holding an event to mark the 10th anniversary of the district’s reformation. In a news conference at IPN, they said that nothing special happened 10 years ago. Only the counties were transformed back into districts, while Grigore Policinschi entered the district’s administration, IPN reports.
The head of the PPRM’s local organization in Dubasari district Grigore Racu said that this news conference is a warning signal on the part of the residents of Dubasari district, because the current administration does nothing else but promote its own interests and divide society. “What kind of reformation they speak about - the liquidation of counties and the return to districts? By this event they want to cast a shadow on the most important events that took place in Moldova in the 1989 -1992s, when we struggled for independence,” he stated.
Grigore Racu also said that the costs for organizing the announced event weren’t made public. This fact is kept secret so that the district’s administration can launder money. “We call on the competent bodies to investigate the cases of appropriation in the Dubasari district council,” he added.
According to Racu, a document of the Ministry of Finance’s Financial Inspectorate says that large sums of money were spent unjustifiably in 2011-2012.
Anatol Croitoru, executive director of the Dubasari Association for Culture and Law “Transnistria”, said that the money allocated for the ceremonies should have been better offered to people who fought for the country’s independence in 1992. “We believe that the administration hides these sums intentionally. It paves the way for using this money for other purposes,” he stated.
The combatants called on the district’s residents not to take part in the events that will be staged in Dubasari on June 21 and requested the state bodies to investigate the cases of laundering money from the district’s budget.
