<p>Moldova on Monday banned the country’s pro-Russia Shor party that has been staging anti-government protests for months now. Shor party, led by exiled businessman Ilan Shor, was declared unconstitutional by Moldova’s Constitutional Court, prompting the Justice Ministry to immediately ban the party. According to Reuters, the ministry is undertaking legal procedures to dissolve the party as soon as possible.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ilan Shor has expressed his disapproval of the decision, saying that the decision was “a slap in the face” of Moldovans who support the Shor party and had voted for him. “We will do the necessary legal procedures, we will find a formula with which we are counting on the Shor party winning a majority in parliament at the next election," Shor was quoted as saying by Reuters.</p>

<h2><strong>How strong is the Shor party?</strong></h2>

<p>As per the party’s vice-chairman Marina Tauber, the political outfit had over 10,000 active members and controlled 100 local councils. In the national elections of 2021, the party had won six seats out of 101.
