Chisinau, January 18 (Infotag). The Acţiunea Europeană [European Action] socio-political movement is dissatisfied with the current situation in Moldova, and is going to organize a rally of protest against it, its Chairman Anatol Petrenco stated at a news conference in Infotag.

Initially, he said, movement activists and supporters planned to picket the Ministry of Justice building, for the Ministry would not register Acţiunea Europeană under the pretext that many of the signatures raised for registration were, allegedly, forged.

“So, now the Chisinau Municipality is refusing to issue permission for the rally exactly because we gave not been registered officially as an organization. OK, we will then gather for this rally just as real persons. We are going to protest against the Ministry’s refusal to register us, and against the situation in which the municipal Antena-C radio and EuroTV Chisinau channel and the Timpul newspaper presently are. We are convinced all these developments are closely inter-related”, Anatol Petrenco said.

He further held that on January 23, the first court hearing of the Ministry of Justice’s refusal to register the movement will be held, and that “every day we receive letters from Acţiunea Europeană members stating they are ready to confirm the signatures they gave in favor of the movement registration. By the way, our membership is growing continuously. For example, a group of the members of the Christian Democratic Popular Party from Bacioi [a large village near Chisinau] has joined us recently”.

The Chairman of the Bacioi subdivision of the CDPP, Constantin Lapusneanu, said at the news conference that all the 86 members of the village organization quitted the Christian Democratic Popular Party, ”for we see that Acţiunea Europeană is exactly the kind of formation which can guarantee us a stable life in the European Union”.

The movement is not leaving its initial hope to raise compatriots’ signatures under an application on Moldova’s accession to the European Union.
