Ombudsman Ceslav Panico: Tiraspol violates fundamental human rights by refusing to accept aid

The Office of the Ombudsman is closely monitoring the situation in the Transnistrian region, which is currently facing an energy crisis due to Gazprom's refusal to supply natural gas to the Republic of Moldova. Ombudsman Ceslav Panico made this statement during an interview with Teleradio-Moldova. This follows accusations from Veaceslav Kosinski, the so-called human rights representative in Transnistrian region, who alleged that the authorities in Chisinau are engaging in "political actions" that violate human rights and could lead to a "humanitarian tragedy." Panico confirmed that he has received Kosinski's letter and intends to analyze its content thoroughly. However, he referred to the language used by the self-proclaimed ombudsman from Tiraspol as "unacceptable."
