Ion Ceban, the mayor of Chisinau, said that the ban on entering Romania and the Schengen area is a political action by the current government, in particular President Maia Sandu and the Action and Solidarity Party. Ceban, who founded the National Alternative Movement, said the measures were part of a dirty campaign in the run-up to the September 28 parliamentary elections. The Romanian foreign ministry confirmed the ban on national security grounds. Ceban's 'Alternativa' bloc accused the government of reprisals. Reactions online vary, with some calling for Ceban's resignation and others claiming the ban is a political maneuver.
