Just one day after the Chi\u0219in\u0103u Court of Appeal sentenced Evghenia Gu\u021bul to seven years in prison for illegal financing of the \u0218or Party, the Gagauzia People\u2019s Assembly (APG) and the Executive Committee adopted a joint resolution. The text of the resolution openly rejects the court\u2019s ruling, claiming it is \u201ca politically motivated act directed against the Gagauz people.\u201d It reaffirms Gu\u021bul as the legitimate ba\u015fkan and brands any attempt to remove her as an attack on Gagauzia\u2019s autonomy. This was no emotional outburst. It was a tactical shift. Rather than defending itself in the legal arena, where prosecutors presented evidence of over 40,000,000 lei channeled from Russia, payments for protesters, and nine rapid cash deliveries in a single day, the \u0218or network moved the dispute into politics and constitutional interpretation. The focus switched from \u201cillegal funds\u201d to \u201cviolated political rights\u201d. In this new arena, identity politics and mobilization work faster \u2014 and more effectively \u2014 than legal arguments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EN-Op-ed_-Rezolutia-Adunarii-Populare-a-Gagauziei-\u2013-Sor-exploateaza-un-vid-legislativ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open the analysis here.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrei Cur\u0103raru, public policy expert August 11, 2025 The Resolution of the People&#8217;s Assembly of Gagauzia is the instrument through which the Shor network removes the Gu\u021bul case from the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-208517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analyzes","category-slider"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchdog.md\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
