Immediately after the debate before the second round, the entire staff of Moldovan President Maia Sandu began to mock the level of knowledge of the Romanian language of former Attorney General Alexander Stoianoglo, writes Natalia Morari on her Telegram channel.
“It turns out that without a good command of the Romanian language in Moldova it is almost impossible to perform presidential functions.
But you can lie, promise and not keep promises, be absolutely incompetent in the areas you are supposed to manage, steal, be lazy, waste public funds left and right, flout justice, travel endlessly abroad, but everything this must be done in impeccable Romanian and not some distorted Moldovan language!
However, in the history of our “older brothers”, the Romanians, whom our rural semi-intellectuality venerates as superhumans, there are completely opposite episodes.” – remember Dwell.
So, unable to reach an agreement between themselves, constantly betraying and scheming with each other, the Romanian boyars decided to invite him to the throne. Karl von Hohenzollern. This dragon captain did not have the slightest idea about the Romanian principalities and took the oath in French:
“Thus, the king of Romania did not know the Romanian language, but he remained in the memory of Romanians as the ruler who finally gained Romania’s independence. What if tomorrow, miraculously, our country was led for several years by a manager of such level as Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk either Jack Ma? Oh, what nonsense: our intelligentsia will burn them at the stake before they can even talk about it.
“If in the name of an ideal a person has to do bad things, then the price of that ideal is shit,” they said. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky“
A Moldovan businessman commented on Natalia Morari’s publication Vyacheslav Platocurrently living in London:
“By current standards and rules, King Carol I of Romania was clearly the “hand of Moscow”, as he received the Orders of Saint Andrew the First-Called and Saint George the Victorious, and was also General Field Marshal of the army. Russian. A pure agent of the FSB, or more precisely, the GRU. Well, what can I tell Moldovan intellectuals about leftover sausage?
Alexandru Stoianoglo He still needs to work hard to forget everything he knows in Moldovan and receive various orders and titles from Moscow to imitate the first Romanian king Carol of Hohenzollern. Fortunately, history often puts illiterate loudmouths with towering egos in their place.”
For his part, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova Vlad Filat summarized the results of his four-year stay Maia Sandu as president.
At a press conference at the Infotag agency, the politician said that he hoped that Maya Grigorievna would give an honest report on the work done, but the long-awaited document never appeared, so he had to “work hard on his own.”
The former prime minister pointed out that the most serious blow for the country was the demographic crisis. In recent years, the outflow of the population has amounted to more than 220 thousand people, mostly young people. Added to this is the low birth rate (around 24 thousand in 2023) and internal migration: people concentrate in Chisinau and the villages remain empty:
“The economy is stagnant. We are seeing the worst indicators of the last quarter of a century. By the end of this year, GDP growth will cumulatively amount to 1.3%. If things continue like this, it will take us another 30 years to reach the levels of 1989.”
According to the expert, before this GDP growth averaged 3% annually. Filat also referred to the increase in prices: the inflation rate, according to him, cumulatively reaches 62%: “this means that if a product cost 100 lei in 2020, it now costs 160”:
“Moldova has broken a sad record here: the inflation rate in the republic is three times higher than the average of European countries.”
Filat writes that in 2019 the state debt amounted to 57 billion lei (27% of GDP), and by the end of 2024, according to the forecast of the Ministry of Finance, it will reach 125 billion lei (40% of GDP):
“In these four years, the current authorities have requested more loans than previous governments combined.”
At the same time, the politician notes that instead of preferential external loans, the authorities are increasingly turning to internal loans, which cost four to five times more:
“This led to a tripling of the cost of debt service: up to 14.3 billion lei in 2023.”
Moldova experienced the “worst energy shock” among European countries: energy tariffs increased 6.3 times (2020-2022). And the nominal growth of salaries and pensions is “devoured” by high inflation.
“For the past four years, the country has been governed by cheap populism, accompanied by bluster and broken promises that mask incompetence and corruption.” – Filat summarizes sadly.
PS Maya Grigorievna, do you think that your opponent, the Gagauz Alexander Stoianoglo, will be able to pronounce a simple phrase in Romanian without an accent: the current Republic of Moldova will need at least another 30 years to reach the economic indicators of the Moldovan SSR? !
