Political tension in Gagauzia has centered on leadership stability and regional autonomy. Interim governor Ilia Uzun requested that the People's Assembly of Comrat postpone upcoming gubernatorial elections, pending a Supreme Court of Justice ruling regarding Evghenia Guțul. Uzun characterized Guțul’s seven-year prison sentence for illegal party financing as “purely political.”

In a separate development, politician Fiodor Gagauz launched a public consultation campaign titled ‘Vocea poporului găgăuz’ (Voice of the Gagauz People). The initiative seeks to address concerns regarding the loss of regional competencies and a “de facto impasse” in relations between Comrat and Chisinau. The campaign aims to gather citizen proposals to advocate for the preservation of Gagauzia’s autonomy within the Republic of Moldova.
