The Republic of Moldova is turning into a dictatorship in which the opposition and the Church are persecuted, and the EU controls the country through financial support, according to narratives promoted by Kremlin propaganda.
The Metropolitanate of Bessarabia (part of the Romanian Orthodox Church) was created by Romania and the West to destroy Orthodoxy and promote LGBT agenda, pro-Russian Bishop Marchel claims.
The government in Chișinău launched an attack on the Metropolitanate of Moldova, the first target being the pro-Russian bishop Marchel, politnavigator writes, referring to the fact Marchel was not allowed to fly to Tel Aviv.
Moldova's approach to the EU is due to the Russophobic policy of the current administration, according to a false narrative promoted by a pro-Russian political theorist / politician from Chișinău.
The Republic of Moldova will join the EU by 2030, believes President Maia Sandu. In an exclusive interview, Maia Sandu also spoke about Russia's pressure on Moldova.
The Metropolitanate of Moldova will lose its autonomy if it becomes subordinated to the Romanian Patriarchate. A similar decision taken in 1918 was opposed by Moldovan churchgoers, the diocese of a pro-Russian clergyman says.
Conspiracy theories seem to have gained fresh impetus these days, being often used as part of disinformation campaigns. Their latest champions representatives of the media, the political class and the Church, and this gives a credibility boost and false legitimacy to these theories.
