Moldovan authorities allowed amnesty for the former head of Gagauzia President Maia Sandu can make a decision about Eugenia Gotsol only after receiving a petition addressed to her. Earlier, the former head of the republic and leader of the opposition Socialist Party, Igor Dodon, sent a parallel appeal to the Sandu administration. "An amnesty could become a gesture of political reconciliation between Chisinau and the Gagauz autonomy, between the central government and the Gagauz people," the politician noted on social media. On August 5, 2025, a court in Chisinau sentenced Yevgenia Gotsol to seven years in prison on the charge of financing the Shur party, which is banned in Moldova.
