Bread grew more expensive, PAS demands to stop export of wheat from state reserve

After receiving signals from the local level that the bread grew more expensive, even by 1 leu, the acting president of the Party of Action and Solidarity Igor Grosu said the problem derives from the fact that the export of wheat from the state reserve wasn’t stopped following last year’s drought. In a press briefing, he asked that the Government should urgently ban the export, while the wheat from the state reserve should be provided to mills and bakeries, IPN reports.

“Over a month ago, the Supreme Security Council held discussions on that scandal or, to say it better, scheme planned by minister of agriculture Perju, who is by accident and by coincidence related to Igor Dodon, and by the head of the State Reserves Agency, an older mate of Minister of Home Affairs Voicu. Later, it became known that the scheme also involved an oligarch, a monopolist from the grains market – wheat and sunflower – called Vazha. They planned to export wheat from the country on the pretext for renewing the wheat from the state reserve,” stated Igor Grosu.

According to the MP, as last year’s drought halved the wheat harvest, the PAS warned that the bread prices will rise. The party asked to introduce a moratorium on the export of wheat from the state reserve. “But Dodon’s Government insisted that such dangers do not exist and there is enough wheat in the country. We now see that they lied to us then and now too as there was nothing but the financial interest of Dodon and of this oligarch behind those statements. The rises in the price of sunflower oil form part of the agreement reached by Dodon and this oligarch, who is a former partner of Plahotniuc and who now found another partner in the person of Dodon, who is a thief and a coward,” noted Igor Grosu.

The PAS requested the acting Prime Minister to take all the measures to ban the export of wheat from the state reserve. “I ask you to think about the people, not about Dodon, who is ready to do anything to save his own skin after he committed so many violations,” he said, noting that Doodn’s partner at the moment is loading the wheat at the Giurgiulești Port as he was authorized by the head of the customs post to export this.
