Nel 1990-1992, con il crollo dell'URSS e le tensioni etno-nazionaliste nei Paesi secessionisti, la Gagauzia riuscì, al contrario della Transnistria, a negoziare una certa autonomia dal governo Chisinau, e a far respingere l'ipotesi di fusione tra Moldova e Romania. 2/
La Gagauzia ha mantenuto un forte rapporto con la Russia: il russo è la lingua più parlata, il rumeno quasi zero. La regione è la più povera della Moldavia e dipende fortemente dai sussidi di Chisinau. La produzione industriale è insignificante. 3/ Image

The leader of the newly formed People's Union of #Gagauzia, Viktor Petrov (thread on him coming later) just gave a lengthy and very revealing speech 👇
At the beginning of his speech, Petrov took a page out of the 1990s playbook, and claimed that the Russian speaking population of Gagauzia were suffering from vicious "Romanianization"
He criticised the authorities for pulling #Moldova closer to #NATO & #EU which would ultimately violate the countries sovereignty & neutrality. Unsurprisingly, he called for Moldova to have closer ties with its historic friend: #Russia

A new group called the "People's Union of Gagauzia" has been founded in response to rising gas prices and regional instability in #Gagauzia & #Moldova. The group was founded after intense anti-government protests across Gagauzia this past weekend
The purpose of the group is to "protect the rights and freedoms of Gagauzia and its inhabitants" and to strengthen the role of the autonomous region in solving issues at the national level.
The group also states that it wants to "develop good relations with the historical friends of the Gagauz people- Russia and other countries from the Eurasian Economic Union"
