Moldova’s president-elect Maia Sandu on Sunday called on citizens to hold a “public consultation” in the main square of Chisinau, asking for help to stop a “power-seeking attempt” by parliament after the legislature voted. a series of controversial laws.
Maia Sandu recorded a message to the citizens, and her speech was broadcast on Friday night by the public television station Moldavia 1. In her message, Maia Sandu condemned the events that occurred in recent days in Parliament and specified that on Sunday In the Plaza de la Gran Consejo Nacional, a meeting with citizens will be organized.
“In these days a new parliamentary majority has been built, PSRM-Șor, which does not respect the law or the people. The Socialists made this alliance to pass laws that would allow them to continue stealing and go unpunished. Yesterday (Thursday – no) Some laws that are not for the people were hastily voted. The budget law voted in 3 minutes does not contain enough money for medicines, farmers, small businessmen. The SIS withdrawal law from the presidency means a president with fewer powers. They want to erase all traces, hide their files. Your plans don’t stop here. We have seen for a year what the Dodon government means and the disaster it has brought us. They want to stay with this parliament in which some deputies have already sold out three times. Captured deputies who are handed over and told how to vote. This Parliament must go. Today there are no 51 deputies responsible. I filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court. We will demand the repeal of all laws. Together we must stop this attempt at usurpation of power. On Sunday we will organize a consultation with citizens in the Plaza of the Great National Assembly, “said Maia Sandu, quoted by agora.md.
The president urged people to be vigilant, to wear masks and to respect social distance during the demonstration.
What is happening in Chisinau?
The atmosphere remains tense in the capital of the Republic of Moldova, where further protests are expected on Sunday.
These days there have been protests both at the front and inside the Parliament in Chisinau. There, a dictatorship with a parliamentary majority was established, which is close to a coup.
Several laws were quickly passed by the majority controlled by Igor Dodon’s socialists, completely destabilizing the state, pushing it further into the arms of Russia, just as, after the presidential elections, the electorate voted for a pro-European president.
The head of the intelligence services is no longer appointed by the president of the country, but by Parliament. The people of Dodon leave Maia Sandu without one of the most important prerogatives, shortly before beginning her mandate as head of the Republic of Moldova.
Likewise, a law has been approved that grants a special status to the Gagauz region, which can block any decision of the State and which practically opens the prospect of federalization of the country.
Later, the Russian language gained official status.
Next year’s budget was approved without any public consultation, it was simply approved.
In fact, in the Chisinau Parliament there was a legislative massacre, a systemic destruction of the state.
These steps are taking place in the conditions in which the country’s socialist president, Igor Dodon, considered pro-Russian, lost the elections, and the new president will be Maia Sandu, considered a pro-Russian policy. However, it will be difficult for the president-elect to adopt reformist policies, given that there is a loyal majority in Igor Dodon in the Chisinau Parliament. Maia Sandu urged citizens to request early elections.
None of the political parties in Parliament has enough deputies to be able to govern and that is why, in recent years, majorities have been formed. Now, the Socialist MPs loyal to Igor Dodon and those of the Şor Party, the party of the pro-Russian mayor of Orhei, Ilan Șor, have allied and voted, without debate and without being examined, all these bills.
MPs call Americans “grandchildren.”
On the other hand, the Chisinau Parliament rejected a project regarding the construction of a new headquarters for the US embassy. The legislature approved the termination of a contract with Washington authorities on the site of the old Republican stadium for the new diplomatic headquarters.
The US Embassy affirms that the US authorities negotiated in good faith, for a decade, the acquisition of the land, with successive governments in Chisinau. This repeal violates a binding bilateral agreement, international law and adversely affects relations between the United States and the Republic of Moldova, the US diplomatic mission said.
The United States was willing to invest more than $ 250 million in this project.
