The two heads of state have already discussed how Romania can help Presiden

Ileana Racheru, an expert in the ex-Soviet space, explains for “Adevărul” the situation in which the Republic of Moldova is now and draws attention to the fact that the state may no longer have such a chance in the future, if the Pro-Ruși get to power.

The importance of accession to the European Union

However, this year's situation is also complicated by the involvement of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (gold), led by George Simion. “A Direct work with the Russian Federation to do problems and probably try to remove the pro-European regime from Chisinau ”from power”says Ieana Racheru, showing that gold has focused “Mega2025.eu” .M

“I do not know if the Republic of Moldova will have in the future the chance it has now”- Ileana Racheru, an expert in the ex-Sovent

“I think the most important thing you should do is that it should communicate a lot about the importance of free elections, the Republic of Moldova, without interference from outside. To communicate a lot on the importance of this year's elections and the European integration for the Republic of Moldova, because I will say very directly, if I lose the train now and I come to the European Republic or I do not In the future he has the chance he has now, that he is now a candidate for European integration, with the prospect of opening the negotiations as soon as possible ”emphasizes Ileana Racheru.

In the case of a pro-Russian governance, the state would face several problems: “I do not want to imagine how the security situation in the Republic of Moldova could deteriorate in the case of a pro-Russian governance, because it is very clear that the Russians need the Republic of Moldova to cause additional problems of Ukraine. What I can do concretely is to increase the number of transmission using Chisinau airport. “

“However, in the situation of a pro-Russian governance, another big problem would be the economic survival of the Republic of Moldova because, clearly, they will not benefit from aid, grants and so on. Says Ileana Racheru.

What can Romania do

“The process of integration of the Republic of Moldova in the European Union depends very much on the credibility that the prime minister comes to discuss with the structures of the European Union”President Nicușor Dan drew attention to a press conference, explaining that the Romanian state can help concretely in the accession process.

From a diplomatic point of view, at the level of president and foreign ministers, Romania can press for the continuation of this process, explains the head of state.

This means including a seemingly trivial issue: how much the shootings stand in customs. This means what Romania has been promising a guarantee fund for Romanian investments in the Republic of Moldova. ”says the head of the Romanian state.

The electoral situation in the Republic of Moldova

Ileana Racheru explains that there are three political formations that have a chance to cross the electoral threshold. This is the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), the alternative block (BA) and another block, but not established.

He has problems with the law in the Russian Federation, but he has never had constant options.

“He has made fortune in extremely dubious conditions in the Russian Federation. Currently, he cannot go to the Russian Federation because he was opened there, he has a statement of extremely controversial wealth.”explains Ileana Racheru.

Another character, which is associated with gold, is the victory, according to the expert. He was at the Mega event with members of the formation and “attempted to be a kind of Calin Georgescu in the female version“, Says Ileana Racheru, explaining that this is under the sanctions of EU now.

Kremlin: “Chisinau violates the electoral rights of some citizens”

“Russia does not mix in the internal affairs of other countries ”, said Dmitri Peskov, in a first reaction regarding the accusations of Chisinau. In fact, this is the traditional Kremlin repeated response. At the same time, he claimed that there is a violation of the electoral rights of some citizens with voting in the Republic of Moldova, including from the territory of the Russian Federation.

“Unfortunately, we find that the electoral rights of many Moldovans are 'restricted' and violated. And, no matter what the people from Chisinau, the rights of Moldovans living in other countries, including on the territory of the Russian Federation, of course, must be assured, from our point of view. What is not the case today.”Peskov said.
