Protest rallies against the actions of the Moldovan authorities, which are aggravating the energy crisis in the republic, took place in the cities of Pridnestrovie today. Hundreds of city residents and residents of nearby villages gathered at the exit from the city of Bendery towards Kishinev.

There is literally only a few days' worth of gas left in the pipeline near Pridnestrovie. Coal reserves for generating electricity at the Moldavian State District Power Plant are limited to February 16-17 at the most. The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky in an interview with the Russia-24 TV channel spoke about this and about the fact that the Moldovan authorities want to cause an energy catastrophe in PMR that will turn into a humanitarian one.

More than 30 public associations of Pridnestrovie have signed a statement in connection with the energy crisis. The activists emphasize their deep concern about the current situation.

The President Vadim Krasnoselsky appealed to President Sandu again. Pridnestrovians and international human rights activists call on Moldova to let gas into the PMR. Deputies of the Supreme Council commented on the energy and humanitarian crisis in the republic. Watch this and more in the regular edition of "The Deputy Hour".

The PMR President accused the leadership of the neighboring state of obstructing gas supplies to Pridnestrovie and called on Moldovan politicians not to engage in intrigue and speculation.

Human rights defenders from Russia, Armenia and Georgia, as well as representatives of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, have appealed to the President of Moldova Maia Sandu with a request to promptly resolve the issue of ensuring the delivery of gas as humanitarian aid from Russia to Pridnestrovie.

The Deputy Chairman of the parliamentary Committee on Education, Public Associations and Mass Media, political scientist Andrei Safonov expressed his opinion on the situation related to the delay in gas supplies to Pridnestrovie due to the actions of the Republic of Moldova.

Two industrial flagships of the Pridnestrovian economy are idle in Rybnitsa – the Moldovan Metallurgical Plant and the Cement Plant of Rybnitsa. More than 2000 people are still out of work at the enterprises due to the lack of gas, said Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy Vadim Kravchuk.
