Members of the association “Honor, Dignity and Homeland” (ODIP) request the law enforcement agencies to identify and hold accountable the persons who during the May 1 and 9 events violated their right to identity. The organization’s head Vlad Biletskiu, in a news conference at IPN, said the young people were attacked and insulted in public areas by representatives of different parties attending the events.

Vlad Biletski said that on May 9 members of the Party of Socialists tried to suppress the demonstration of unionists staged in the Great National Assembly Square. “It’s a pity and we mourn for those who died in battle. I and the association I represent consider this is a mourning day and, in the best case, this can be a Peace Day when the war ended, thank God,” he stated.

Vlad Biletski referred to an incident that happened on May 12. When he and a group of mates approached the tent of the Party of Socialists, where signatures for the referendum to dismiss Dorin Chirtoaca from the post of mayor of Chisinau were collected, with the intention of initiating a dialogue, representatives of the party tried to take away their small tricolors attached at the chest and denigrated both the unionists and the tricolor. They will demand that MP Vladimir Odnostalko should be deprived of immunity so that he is investigated for xenophobic behavior.

The members of “Unirea - ODIP” addressed a letter to the parliamentary commissions and groups and to Speaker of Parliament Andrian Candu where they depicted the aforementioned case and ask that this should be examined from the perspective of discriminatory and xenophobic behavior.

In response to Socialists’ actions, the members of ODIP during the next few days will distribute tricolor ribbons within the campaign “Tricolor in each house” and 1,000 flags and will stage the “Union Caravan” within which they will travel to Moldova’s villages during six weeks and will inform the people about the advantages of Moldova’s union with Romania.

This week, members of the association plan to give the start of the campaign to restore and rehabilitate monuments to Romanian soldiers located at 16 Decebal St.
