Straseni mayor assaults reporter

On December 24, Constantin Priguza, mayor of the city of Straseni (not far from Chisinau), verbally and physically assaulted a reporter who was recording a public meeting of the Straseni city council.

The reporter is a member of Hyde Park, a Chisinau-based NGO.

Mr. Priguza, who is a member of the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance (MNA), later said that the video recording of the assault is not real.

MNA is part of the ruling Alliance for European Integration. MNA head Serafim Urecheanu told the press he is still unclear about what happened in Straseni.
