Moldova's Parliament Sparks Outrage in Gagauzia with Electoral Reform
Moldova's parliament has initiated reforms to change the electoral system of Gagauzia, an autonomous region, sparking protests and accusations of undermining the region's constitutional rights. The changes, which tighten candidate requirements and alter the election process for Gagauzia's People's Assembly, are seen as an attempt by Chisinau to control the region's autonomy. Experts argue that the Moldovan parliament lacks the votes to change Gagauzia's special status law and that the new electoral code amendments are illegal. The moves have raised fears of a power grab by central authorities, potentially leading to the abolition of Gagauzia's autonomous status.
