Declaring a state of emergency in Moldova

The Moldovan parliament has declared a state of emergency for 60 days due to the situation in Ukraine.

“The decision to impose a state of emergency throughout Moldova for a period of 60 days was supported by 88 deputies,” said spokesman Igor Grosso.

The Prime Minister of Moldova, Natalia Gavrilica, said that under the state of emergency, the country will have a special regime for entry and exit, as well as control over the airspace of the republic and a special system for the transportation of goods through the territory of Moldova.

As part of local policy, state authorities will be legally able to ban any mass gatherings, impose censorship, and create paramilitary groups.
