Молдаване голосуют за новый парламент

В воскресенье (24 февраля), в Молдове проходят решающие парламентские выборы, которые, вероятно, определят внешнеполитическую ориентацию страны в будущем. Более трех миллионов молдаван имеют право голоса. Им предстоит выбрать своих представителей в 101-местный законодательный орган на следующий четырехлетний срок. Политические обозреватели говорят, что явных фаворитов нет.

Две основные партии, которые доминировали в молдавской политике в последние годы, это социалисты, которые поддерживают более тесные отношения с Россией, и проевропейская демократическая партия во главе с Владимиром Плахотнюком. В настоящее время демократы являются основной партией в правящей коалиции, а младшим партнером является Народная европейская партия. Президент Молдовы Игорь Додон пользуется поддержкой социалистов, и в последние годы наблюдались неловкие моменты, поскольку процесс «политического сожительства» был очень напряженным.

Однако все взгляды на эти выборы направлены на третью силу, проевропейский ACUM, который выступает против обеих основных партий и подписал в четверг обязательство не вступать с ними в коалицию, если ни одна из партий не получит абсолютного большинства. Партии должны преодолеть шести процентный порог голосов, чтобы войти в парламент.

В прошлом году Европарламент назвал Молдову "государством, охваченным олигархическими интересами". ЕС также заморозил помощь Молдове после того, как местный суд признал недействительными выборы мэра Кишинева в 2018 году по техническим причинам, что было расценено как попытка помешать явной победе проевропейского кандидата.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
