In the context of the public statements made today regarding the alleged information about certain political parties and candidates registered in the parliamentary elections, the Security and Intelligence Service states the following:
The SIS disapproves and denies this information and reaffirms its position of full compliance with existing legislation and prioritisation of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
At the same time, as an institution with responsibilities in the field of national security, the SIS focuses on events with potential to generate security risks, while the analytical product is sent to legal beneficiaries to make decisions accordingly.
Despite any insinuations, we mention that the SIS does not monitor political parties, but the correctness of their actions in order to identify and exclude any external interference and influence on democratic processes in the Republic of Moldova.
Moreover, the SIS actions are not based on orders, but on the legislative framework that regulates the activity of the special service.
The institution has repeatedly made statements reaffirming its determination to maintain its equidistant approach and neutrality in daily activities, and will stay focused on carrying out missions to ensure the national security of the Republic of Moldova.
The Security and Intelligence Service reiterates its call not to be drawn into the area of political disputes and maintains its position of not commenting on the statements of political actors, especially in the midst of the election campaign.
