Prime TV channel urged the Embassies and the International Missions from Moldova to monitor the elections.

The institution is alarmed of the ACUM alliance's attacks to some press institutions. The journalists are treated disrespectful when they ask questions. In the past days, Andrei Nastase, the PPDA leader assaulted Prime TV reporter.

"We are concerned that these attacks and intimidation by electoral contestants have intensified in a full electoral campaign and we reserve the right to qualify them as exercising political pressures on a press institution, which is in contradiction with both national legislation and recognized democratic principles internationally", say the journalists.


We believe that it is our duty to report these slippages from potential deputies, given the faulty way in which they perceive democratic principles and journalists who ask uncomfortable questions", the document said.

The media institution calls on international organizations to condemn these intimidations and bring them to the attention of Moldovan authorities and the international community. Earlier, several media NGOs condemned the incident and appealed to electoral candidates and their sympathizers to show respectful attitude towards journalists.

We recall that it is not for the first time when representatives of media institutions are assaulted at events organized by PAS and PPDA. In the summer of 2018, Publika TV journalist Oxana Bodnar was defeated and struck during an electoral campaign organized by the two parties. And reporters of other media institutions were intimidated at the press conferences of Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase.
