Socialist MP Vasile Bolea said Maia Sandu as the President of the Republic of Moldova and the supreme commander of the armed forces could use the instruments and institutions in her subordination to cause destabilization in the region. He explained why the Socialist MPs put forward the legislative proposal to transfer the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS) back in the Parliament’s subordination, IPN reports.

“We have a newly elected President. Regrettably, the President-elect has also the nationality of other states apart from that of the Republic of Moldova and from this viewpoint, to my mind and to the mind of my colleagues, this is an aspect that can enable her to use the SIS to the detriment of the national security in particular circumstances. If I’m not wrong, the President-elect swore allegiance to another state as well when obtaining the second nationality,” Vasile Bolea stated in the talk show “Black Box” on TV8 channel.

Asked if he has evidence of what he stated, the MP made reference to the statements and “behavior” of Maia Sandu of the last few days in relation to the Transnistrian issue.

“The last statements of the President-elect, who hasn’t taken up her duties yet, including those related to security in the region, Transnistria and other matters, generate suspicions that she could take measures to destabilize the situation in the Republic of Moldova,” stated Vasile Bolea.

For his part, MP of the Party of Action and Solidarity Sergiu Litvinenco said the holding of the nationality of another state us not an impediment to the work done by a President. The SIS in 1999 – 2016 had been under parliamentary control, but under the President’s management. As a result of agreements between Igor Dodon and Vladimir Plahotniuc in 2016, the SIS was transferred in the Parliament’s subordination. In June 2019, the SIS was again transferred under the President’s management by a majority of votes of MPs.

President-elect Maia Sandu on December 2 called on the people to hamper the Dodon-Shor oligarchic majority’s attempt to usurp the power and to induce snap parliamentary elections as swiftly as possible by a protest in front of the Parliament Building on December 3, starting at 10am.
