Members of the political force and its supporters declare the political nature of the case in the context of the persecution of the opposition. The head of the National Center for Combating Corruption, Iulian Rusu, said earlier that the Shor party could be liquidated if it was proved that it was illegally financed.

In June, the party gathered on the main square of Chisinau more than 40,000 demonstrators who expressed dissatisfaction with the current government. The leader of the political force, Ilan Shor, who left the country in 2019 after a corruption scandal, urged his supporters to continue protests until Tauber is released and the current government resigns.
