Moldovan Farmers Protests Persist After Border Blockade, Government Meets Today

Following a border crossing blockade yesterday, farmers from multiple Moldovan districts announced continued protests today.

Frustrated by a lack of resources for the upcoming season and perceived government inaction, they demand solutions.

Widespread Protests:

Farmers in Hîncești, Leova, Nisporeni, Ungheni, and Căușeni joined forces yesterday, blocking the Leușeni-Albița border crossing. The Farmers' Force Association has announced further demonstrations in Rezina, Orhei, Fălești, and Criuleni.

Resource Concerns and Calls for Action:

"Farmers say they don't have enough resources to start a new agricultural year," reported Radio Moldova, highlighting their core grievance. The protests aim to pressure the government into providing support and addressing their concerns.

Government Dialogue and Briefing:

The Ministry of Agriculture has acknowledged the issue, stating they are "in constant dialogue with the farmers." Today at 11:00 a.m., the Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry will hold a briefing to provide updates, as announced by Radio Moldova.

Igor Grosu, about the new Russian ambassador in Chisinau: "Let's see if he promotes friendship between countries"

The Chisinau authorities have no reason not to accredit the new ambassador of the Russian Federation in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, the Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, told TV8. According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
