DISINFO: Government agencies in Moldova will only serve the population in Romanian
SUMMARY
Now, government agencies will only serve the population in Romanian. Pensioners are even offered the services of an interpreter for $10 an hour.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging Russophobia in Moldova.
The claim is false. It is based on on a photo that circulated on social media, which allegedly showed an announcement made at a post office. It stated that from April 7, 2025, pensioners will be served only in Romanian, which is the state language. The claim was quickly denied by the state enterprise "Poșta Moldovei", which explained that its services are free of charge and available in Romanian and where relevant, in the regionally used languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Gagauz, and Bulgarian.
