Protest in Gagauzia after governor Evghenia Guțul’s detention

Several people gathered on Wednesday morning outside the headquarters of the People's Assembly of Gagauzia in Comrat to protest the detention of Evghenia Guțul, the Governor of Gagauzia.

The protesters are calling for her release and argue that the investigation by the central authorities is politically motivated.

The protesters held signs with messages of support for Guțul.

Following her detention, the People's Assembly of Gagauzia convened an extraordinary session on Wednesday to discuss the matter.

It is worth mentioning that Evghenia Guțul was detained on the evening of Tuesday, March 25, at Chișinău International Airport while trying to leave the country. According to the Anti-Corruption Center (CNA), the governor is suspected in a criminal case involving the fraudulent management of electoral funds, illegal financing, and falsification of documents. Guțul was detained for 72 hours, and prosecutors are expected to decide whether to request her pre-trial detention.
