LIBERAL-DEMOCRATIC AUTHORITIES ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO LET COMMUNISTS BACK INTO POWER
Chisinau. Mr. Ruslan Popa, leader of the initiative group creating a new party to be called “Congress of the Peoples of Moldova”, presumes that the incumbent liberal-democratic authorities are actually doing everything the Communist Party needs to come back into power.
Popa told a news conference in Infotag that seeing all this, the initiative group decided to create a party that will work to prevent the Communist Party’s political revenge.
The group leader reviewed the “everything necessary”, which the new authorities have already achieved in a matter of a few months only, to an utter delight of their Communist rivals, namely the skyrocketing utility and other rates and a price growth, depreciation of the Moldovan leu currency, closure of the Russian-language mass media, concrete practical steps towards unification with Romania , and so forth.
“These and many other developments are tuning the public into awful thoughts and expectations. Seeing all this, the Communists are rubbing hands in happiness, and are loudly announcing their soon-to-be revenge and comeback into power. And they seem to have all grounds for stating so, haven’t they? But this time the republic will be thrown into stagnation not for 8 years [of 2001-2009 Communist government] but for two decades, if not longer”, presumes Ruslan Popa.
He also has apprehensions that a considerable segment of hesitating voters, who cast their ballots reluctantly for the LDPM, MNA and DP in 2009, will now prefer to sit at home, if only no new party of the Social Democratic orientation and no new leaders appear on the scene by that time.
“The Congress of the Peoples of Moldova stands for sincere and open good neighborly relations with Russia and the United States, and even with Romania if only the neighbor country signs a Basic Political Treaty and a Border Treaty with Moldova, and if it gives up its unification claims once and forever”, said Ruslan Popa, remarking that he strongly doubts Romania’s ability to provide the assistance is has promised to Moldova – 100 million euros.
It is his conviction that Moldova may be admitted to the European Union only when the republic substantially raises the living standards of its broad population masses and when it builds a really law-governed state.
“Europe does not need at its table another pauper country ruled by corrupt officials and thieves. Therefore all the promises you can currently hear both in Chisinau and in Europe – about Moldova’s accession to the European Union – are nothing but populism and a barefaced fooling of the populace”, presumes Ruslan Popa.
He is viewing Moldova’s future as follows: the country can only survive through strengthening its national economy by putting emphasis on small businesses, by developing the rural infrastructure, revision of the existing education system, by carefully studying the Moldovan history, and by resolving the Transnistria conflict like it was done in Gagauzia.
Infotag’s dossier: Ruslan Popa, 31, graduated from Liverpool University in 2004. He is a project manager by his university diploma. Until recently, he was Deputy Chairman of the Rompay processing company of Romania.
