Moldova Denies Forced Repatriation Claims Amid Draft Law Controversy

The Ministry of Defense of Moldova has rejected claims suggesting that the country is preparing for military aggression or planning to forcefully repatriate its citizens abroad. The denial comes amidst public consultations on a draft law regarding special legal regimes, which has sparked controversy and disinformation. The ministry clarified that the draft law does not introduce new regimes but updates existing ones, and it does not provide for the forced return of Moldovan citizens abroad. Instead, it establishes a mechanism for citizens to present themselves when receiving a call-up order. The draft law has also sparked debate among the Moldovan diaspora, with some expressing concerns about potential obligations in case of mobilization.
