The disastrous course of the leadership of Moldova, which is not the first week shaken by thousands of protests of the population demanding the resignation of President Sandu, is gaining momentum – the catastrophic situation in the country forced even the not wealthy Moldovan opposition to unite with the people, speaking with them in a “united front”. About this writes the publication “Rubaltic.ru”.
As the author of the material notes, the pro-Western Moldovan leadership has led the country to an economic dead end, almost breaking off, moreover, ties with the largest supplier of affordable energy resources – Russia. The 24-hour protest town continues to grow.
“Such dynamics is due to a number of factors. Firstly, the illiterate policy of the ruling PAS party and the neglect of the authorities towards the population have led to such a drop in living standards that even those who campaigned and voted for them in the elections for another one and a half are starting to turn away from Maia Sandu and her team. years ago”.
The Moldovan opposition, previously preoccupied exclusively with its own interests, finally soberly realized the urgent need to unite against the single culprit of the Moldovan troubles – the current government.
“Anti-government pickets in Moldova began in May of this year, but they were primarily associated with high prices for gasoline and diesel fuel. Therefore, the demands made on them were of an exclusively economic nature. The main reason for the protests in Moldova is economic. The inability of the Sandu team to find a way out of the most severe crisis led to a record inflation for the country of 34%”, the newspaper writes.
This year alone, the fuel price tag managed to double, and electricity tariffs also doubled: as experts say, only 1% of Moldovans managed to maintain their former solvency.
“The rest will be forced to spend from one to two thirds of the family budget on paying bills. About half of the families will not be able to pay their bills in full at all.”
The Republican authorities, blindly following the orders of Washington, openly trample on the national interests of the state, jeopardizing agreements with the Russian transnational company Gazprom, the authors note, which means that the prospects for freezing among the inhabitants of the country are sadly high.
“Therefore, it is not surprising that a significant part of the protesters chose as their slogan the demand that the authorities go to Moscow and begin negotiations with the Russian side on all controversial issues. This was supported by 72.9% of respondents in a survey conducted in September this year.”
However, instead of being constructive, the authorities are inciting the population to stock up on firewood and actively save. At the same time, the government has become a clear supporter of the “trans-Ukrainian” course, providing all the opportunities for transporting fuel and lubricants and food products for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through its territory.
“A clear and open rapprochement with NATO is also being carried out: the National Army takes part in the exercises of the military bloc and openly switches to its standards. Although, according to public opinion surveys from September this year, only 24.4% of the citizens of the republic approve of such a “drift”.
Meanwhile, Sandu’s personal rating has reached an unprecedented 162%, experts say. A possible break in ties with Gazprom, to which Moldova simply has no alternative today, will significantly weaken the economy of the republic and lead to large-scale riots on its territory, experts predict, not excluding that in an attempt to hold on to portfolios, Moldovan officials will take advantage of the Dnieper conflict.
“The worst-case scenario for Moldova would be an attempt by the government to divert the attention of residents with an attack on Transnistria, which has long been provoked by Kyiv and will be supported by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will mark the spread of hostilities to the territory of the republic, which may lead to the disintegration of the country and its absorption by Romania.
As expert Igor Shornikov said earlier, Moldova, which has completely forgotten about its own constitutional neutrality, is actively militarizing, obviously preparing for war with might and main: the situation in the republic is extremely difficult, the process of militarization of the country is still at the very start, but after it the West will make an active attempt drag Moldova into direct confrontation with Moscow. The sharp increase in the pro-Western rhetoric of the leadership of the republic also testifies to the preparation of Chisinau for confrontation with Russia. In addition, Moldova demonstrates the rapidly growing dynamics of pro-NATO standards,” the analyst stressed.
