“Mr. Simion is not quite approved by the Proe -European Party of the Republic of Moldova.” How to see from Chisinau the result of the presidential elections in Romania

The result of the vote on May 18, from the second round of the presidential elections in Romania will also influence the results of the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova on September 28, essential for the pro-European direction of this country, two political analysts from Chisinau, Ion Tăbârță and Mihai Isac.

• “The Republic of Moldova will lose great diplomatic support in Brussels, because Romania itself will be approached at the European Union level,” believes political analyst Ion Târță that it will happen if our country will reach a “more sovereign” government.

A possible victory of George Simion in the presidential elections in Romania would have a direct impact on the relations between Chisinau and Bucharest, but even on the European perspectives of the Republic of Moldova. This is because Romania is one of the main supporters of Chisinau in this process and has an important voice in Brussels.

In this opinion is the political analyst from Chisinau Ion Tăbârță who also says that if Romania will reach a “more sovereign” and skeptical government towards the EU, this will have a direct impact on the Republic of Moldova.

“The Republic of Moldova will lose a great diplomatic support, because Romania itself will be approached at the European Union level. The European path will be affected, indisputably,” says Ion Tăbârță reminds that the lobby that Romania has done so far for Brussels for the Republic of Moldova has been as important for this country as the direct help.

The political expert recalls that George Simion has an prohibition to enter the Republic of Moldova, and this does not look good “from a legal and technical point of view,” says the expert.

On May 6, Moldova wrote on May 6 that a court in Chisinau will analyze George Simion's request to cancel the entrance to the country, on May 19, that is, the day after the second round of the presidential elections.

“The only politicians who could talk to Simion are from the sovereign area”

“The problem of Mr. Simion now that a future head of state is that he is not really approved by the Proeuropean Party (the Action and Solidarity Party, which is in government in the Republic of Moldova-no).

The only politicians who could talk to him would be about the “sovereign” area. The pro-Russian parties, the Socialists, do not see how a dialogue with Simion could.

In fact, he started the political career here, in the Republic of Moldova, more as a civic activist when he was at the forefront of the protests in 2012. With the current pro-European governance, Mr. George Simion, as head of state, will be complicated. It is hard to believe that it will connect a dialogue as it has been so far, ”said the expert.

Regarding the impact of a possible victory of Simion in the Romanian elections on the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova on May 28, Ion Tăbârță says that the results of the voting in Romania will be informed by the parties with anti-European visions.

“We have seen that in the Republic of Moldova there are already interpretations such as” the Romanian people have won the struggle with Soroşist government. ” This will give water to the mill to the movements that are anti-European, ”says the political analyst.

“A single man cannot change the foreign policy of Romania”

An analyst Mihai Isac, originally from Romania, but established in Chisinau, is cautious in the approach and says that “one man, being the president himself, cannot change how Romania implements his external policy or defense policy”.

Mihai Isac describes the context in which the victory of George Simion's first round is now taking place:

“We have the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Moldova and most likely, we will attend a new series of early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria in a few months. So it is an loaded regional geopolitical cocktail, and Romania plays an important role, considering its status as a member of the European and NATO Union.

Romania is a member of the European Union, it is a member of NATO, Romania has signed hundreds of international treaties that offer the Romanian state both rights and obligations, and when we talk about the relationship with the Republic of Moldova, this relationship is a special one, regardless of who was in charge in Bucharest, the Republic of Moldova has enjoyed support in recent decades.

Certainly, we must also see who will occupy the position of prime minister, what parties will form in the future the ruling coalition, in order to better understand the impact on the relations between Romania and the Republic of Moldova, but we will certainly see a change in the face of a Simion President in the event that he would occupy the presidential chair: one is what is said in the Campaign. for hotnews.ro.

“I find it hard to believe that I will see Mr. Simion Braț with Mr. Dodon”

In the case of prohibition for Simion to enter the territory of the Republic of Moldova, Mihai Isac says that “ways will be found to avoid triggering a diplomatic conflict.”

“I am not aware of a similar case. It is true that, probably, if in certain periods, for example the Voronin regime (Vladimir Voronin Communist President of the Republic of Moldova in 2001-2009-no) President Basescu would have tried to pass the Prut, it would certainly have been stopped,” said Isac.

Regarding the impact on the parliamentary poll of the Republic of Moldova, Mihai Isac believes that the Romanian elections are already a clear signal including for the political class in Chisinau on the need for changes.

“It will certainly be interesting to see how George Simion will manage, as possibly president, the relations with different parties in the Republic of Moldova. I find it hard to see Mr. Simion Braț with Mr. Dodon (Igor Dodon, the leader of the Socialist Party of the Republic of Moldova-no).

The next day after the first tour of the presidential elections in Romania, the President of the Security Commission of the Chisinau Parliament, the deputy Lilian Carp of the parliamentary majority said on a TV show that, if George Simion will become the president, he could remain with the prohibition to enter the Republic of Moldova.

“Regardless of the function that that person holds, if there is a security risk – there is a prohibition. Sis when he made the decision he had certain evidence. I do not know, only lawyers have access to the file, but certainly the decision to pick up or not raise the prohibition can only be taken on the basis of the reports,” the parliamentary told TVR Moldova.
