On April 28, interim Chisinau mayor Vasile Ursu denied an application by the Moldovan organization GenderDoc-M to hold a public demonstration as part of its fifth annual Moldovan Pride Festival on May 5-7.

Then, after Ursu was transferred to Chisinau Mayor’s Office, the Department of Architecture and Town Planning refused to issue them the town planning certificate, in spite of the fact that this structure had been the one to draft and approve the renovation project of the shop.

For example, an official from the Department for Architecture and Town Planning, Iurie Antoniuc, told her directly that she had to sign what Ursu had asked her to, and Victor Costiusca, an official from the same structure, said that the only way to get out of trouble was by approving the basement’s privatization.

Or, maybe Ursu is being held in a check position until the elections are over or he is no longer needed? The shop owner said that she had been subpoenaed only once to the Prosecutor’s Office, and then, everytime she was asking the representatives of the law-enforcement bodies about the case’s fate, she would be told to wait for the “parliamentary elections”, then for the “mayor’s elections” and so on.

We asked Vasile Ursu to express his opinion on the two criminal cases in which he is investigated on.
