Moldovan Parliament vote against Russian TV channels once again

The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova has passed the draft law on restriction for Russian TV channels once again, TASS reports. Its authors believe that by doing so they ensure information security in Moldavia. For example, they plan to ban broadcasting of the news, political and military programs. Previously the President had refused to sign the document and sent it back to the Parliament. He also applied to the constitutional court.

According to the leader of pro-Western Democratic party Vladimir Plakhotnikov “these programs broadcast incorrect information on the partnership between our countries.”

Let us remember, the draft law on restriction for Russian TV channels was passed in two readings. Moldavian President did not endorse the law and sent it back to the Parliament. Igor Dodon has added that this law contradicts human rights of the majority of the population of the country. He has reminded that 70% of Moldova inhabitants are sure that Russia is a friendly country.

Socialists and Communists parties have also voted against this law. Fraction of the latter has left the conference hall in protest. According to its representative Irina Shupak, this law will serve against Russia in the first place. She has reminded that Chisinau has forwarded friendship and cooperation agreement to Moscow.
