Tiraspol, 23 June. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. By deceiving or discrediting the power, certain forces are increasing tensions in the country, and the chain of such actions and statements may have certain implications. First of all, less efficient state administration. This is what President Yevgeny Shevchuk said during Journalists Invite on live TV.

«Who's to blame for the shortage of currency and food issue? President. Any state has a group of people who express discontent with the acting authorities… They can say many things for a good sum of money," said Yevgeny Shevchuk, noting, at the same time, that both the power and citizens «must have an immunity from various accusations» made by such forces.

The president opined that freedom of speech is directly abused in Pridnestrovie.

«A liability for abusing the right to freedom of speech is not elaborated in our republic. For example, what kind of liability should MPs bear for approving the budget with a deficit of over 500 million roubles? Some unprofessional decisions are evident as of today; certain results are being currently summed up, and we'll inform society about them," said the president.

Yevgeny Shevchuk also noted that there are attempts to put pressure, including psychological, on the executive authorities.

«We are told that some were using threats, saying: do what we are telling you, and then in December we'll come to power and establish order. We'll put everyone behind bars. If it is true, though these facts should be checked rather than taken for granted, I think some political forces are likely to have confused government bodies and business structures. Legal instruments have already been employed to refute this false information," concluded the president.
