Anatolie Cobolschi wrote: \u201cI\u2019ll dismember this clown tomorrow.\u201d In his turn, the Mayor\u2019s Office employee claims that he referred to the information shared by the portal in his comment and that it was not addressed to any specific person.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comment by the Mayor\u2019s Office employee was posted on May 21, on the Facebook page of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Nokta.md\/videos\/5466784716704958\/\">Nokta Live<\/a>\u201d show hosted by Mihail Sirkeli. According to Sirkeli, the local public authority staff should not act this way on social media. \u201cThis threat has not frightened me, but I believe such comments from local government officials are simply unacceptable,\u201d the journalist says. He adds that neither the mayor nor the employee in question have tried to contact him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mihail Sirkeli specifies that he expects the law enforcement authorities to fulfill their duties in this case. \u201cI regard this [comments and other posts of the Mayor\u2019s Office employee \u2013 author\u2019s note] as a threat, I do not know whether this person is able to fulfill them, but considering his background, it cannot be ruled out. There is an article in the Criminal Code regarding such cases. I expect the police and the prosecutors to do their job,\u201d Sirkeli affirms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media Azi has contacted Anatolie Cobolschi to obtain his opinion on this case. The official mentions that he did not refer to the journalist in his Facebook comment on \u201cdismemberment,\u201d but merely used the \u201cliterary meaning\u201d of the word. \u201cTo start with, let us look at the situation from two points of view. If you have seen the screenshot which was later deleted and blocked by them, no names are mentioned in my comment. Show me at least a screenshot with the first name <em>Misha<\/em> or the last name <em>Sirkeli<\/em> in it. Second, consult the explanatory dictionaries by Kuznetsov or Ozhegov. Even children at the age of 13 and older understand this word differently, as \u201cto divide, to split.\u201d I wonder where this idea that this comment was addressed specifically to this protagonist has come from. Let us consider this comment from a linguistic point of view as well. Why does anyone see or try to hype it [to intensely promote or to make a fuss \u2013 author\u2019s note] using such sophisticated and violent methods?\u201d Anatolie Cobolschi explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mayor\u2019s Office employee also mentions that, previously, the portal refused to provide the right to reply in connection with certain information about the authority\u2019s activity spread by Nokta. He also considers that the portal insults his dignity by referring to his criminal background, though he considers himself to be reintegrated into society. (Previously, Anatolie Cobolschi was convicted of theft. He was subsequently<a href=\"https:\/\/moldova.europalibera.org\/a\/27620525.html\"> discharged on parole<\/a> for exemplary behavior \u2013 author\u2019s note).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comrat Police Inspectorate representatives have not yet responded to the request to provide information on this case for Media Azi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, in a<a href=\"https:\/\/cji.md\/ong-urile-de-media-condamnam-si-cerem-sanctionarea-angajatului-primariei-comrat-care-a-amenintat-un-jurnalist-al-portalului-nokta-md\/\"> public appeal<\/a>, non-governmental media organizations criticized the statements by Anatolie Cobolschi \u201cwho was threatening to unleash a carnage on journalist Mihail Sirkeli\u201d and addressed the law enforcement authorities to sue the public authority employee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalist Mihail Sirkeli from the Nokta portal in the autonomy of Gagauzia filed a complaint against an employee of Comrat Mayor\u2019s Office to the Police on Tuesday, May 24, according to Nokta.md.
