After 25 years of Independence, the Republic of Moldova looks like a divided country, both in terms of territorial integrity and the unity of its people, considers the director of “Promo-LEX” Association. In an article published by IPN, Ion Manole says that as regards the relations between Chisinau and Tiraspol, the course of the Transnistrian conflict settlement process is not clear.
According to him, Chisinau is not very firm and cannot formulate clear proposals as regards its position, while the internal problems affect this process even more. Not only Tiraspol, but also Moscow and particular international players profit from this. Seeing the incompetence of the constitutional authorities , these insist that Chisinau should make compromises that it should not make.
Ion Manole regrets that the human rights are neither on the agenda of Chisinau nor on the agenda of the international players that should be concerned about these. The regret is fueled by the fact that the people from the left bank of the Nistru, after 25 years of Independence, do not have access to equitable justice and to credible, legal and efficient human rights watchdogs.
According to Ion Manole, the Republic of Moldova is not independent and practically never was, if only during the first few days, after which things twisted and everything became very unclear. The country does not control its whole territory. Even the people have different geopolitical options and do not feel well as citizens of this state.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the declaration of Moldova’s Independence, celebrated on August 27, IPN News Agency decided to depict the portrait of the current Republic of Moldova. For the purpose, it provoked a number of people, including state officials, politicians, businessmen, civil rights activists and persons without posts and titles, but who have what to say. The generic picture is called “Thoughts about and for Moldova”. The articles stated to be published on July 18.
