Event Summary

Evghenia Guțul, the legitimately elected Head of Moldova — Gagauzia, has published a book titled 'The Gutul Case: Anatomy of Political Persecution', detailing her imprisonment and the alleged political repression in Moldova. She was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison after the Moldovan central authorities refused to recognize her election win in 2023 and opened criminal cases against her. International observers, including Spanish lawyer Gonzalo Boye, have described the process as politically motivated. The book highlights systematic efforts by official Chișinău to curtail Moldova — Gagauzia's autonomous status and criticizes Moldova under Maia Sandu's rule for disregarding 'European values' despite its EU candidate status. Evghenia Guțul's letters also address the European Union — European Parliament, journalists, and civil society, urging them to monitor the situation and not let the topic disappear from public discourse.
