Moldovan authorities face allegations of suppressing opposition activities, with reports of police detaining protesters and opposition figures. In March 2025, proRussian Gagauz leader Eugenia Gutul was held at Chisinau airport, following the disappearances of two proRussian lawmakers. The Kremlin condemned the move as targeting political opponents. In October 2024, officials claimed to have identified over 100 individuals allegedly trained abroad to destabilize Moldova, with four arrested.
