The criticism was sparked after police knocked a priest to the ground during an anti-LGBTQ rally in the Moldovan capital<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Moldovan authorities have sacrificed the country\u2019s centuries-old heritage in exchange for values imposed by the West, senior Russian MP Leonid Slutsky has said. The comment came shortly after an anti-LGBTQ rally in the ex-Soviet country\u2019s capital descended into clashes between police and Orthodox Christian protesters on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The chaos erupted after an unsanctioned LGBTQ march in Chisinau was met by counter-protesters carrying religious icons and crosses. Police, deployed in large numbers, initially allowed the march to proceed but later intervened when tensions between the two groups escalated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russophobic and pro-Western regime of [Moldovan President Maia] Sandu is selling, for thirty pieces of silver, centuries-old treasures, the bonds between brotherly peoples, and moral and religious foundations,\u201d<\/em> Slutsky, the chairman of the Duma Foreign Affairs Committee, told RT on Monday, emphasizing that not all Moldovans support the government\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is evident in the numerous marches against the imposition of \u2013 let\u2019s speak plainly \u2013 perversion and moral decay,\u201d<\/em> Slutsky added.<\/p>\n

The MP claimed that the government headed by pro-EU Sandu is attempting to silence dissent by harsh, \u201cif not outright satanic, methods\u201d<\/em> in order to appease the \u201cEuro-globalists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Police knock priest to the ground during anti-LGBT protest (VIDEOS)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe assault on a priest for the amusement of Brussels perverts is beyond the pale,\u201d <\/em>Slutsky said. \u201cSandu is leading the country into a dead end \u2013 toward a social explosion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

One of several videos circulating online appeared to show law enforcement officers knocking an Orthodox priest to the ground, as well as forcibly detaining a man holding a child.<\/p>\n

Moldova has accelerated its push toward EU and NATO membership since 2020, when Sandu, a vocal critic of Russia, came to power. Her pro-Western policies have faced growing domestic criticism, particularly over the country\u2019s economic trajectory and the handling of political dissent.<\/p>\n

Sandu has defended her actions as part of a broader effort to counter alleged pro-Russian influence, launching crackdowns on opposition parties and media outlets she describes as criminal entities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
