Sociologist Dan Dungaciu harshly criticizes the meeting of President Maia Sandu and Russia’s Ambassador in Chisinau Oleg Vasnetsov in which the President asked for Russia’s assistance in fighting the pandemic. Dungaciu said the message transmitted by Maia Sandu shows that the Republic of Moldovan is outside the European area and this can dash Brussels’ hopes about the activity of the incumbent President, IPN reports.

Dan Dungaciu said the failure to invest the Grosu Government in Parliament will be made the blame of the presidential institution, especially because the President yesterday had a meeting with Russia’s Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Vasnetsov and President Sandu requested the Russian Federation to ensure swifter access to the Sputnik-V vaccine.

“This moment is tragic and has a profound significance. The Republic of Moldova, after the election of Missis Maia Sandu, gives a signal that it is outside the European area in which the vaccines are taken from another place. Regrettably, this message goes to Brussels and also to the population of the Republic of Moldova. Moldova’s population remains today with the same disappointment as in 2010, when this was generated by Vlad Filat,” Dan Dungaciu stated in the talk show “Emphasis on Today” on TVR Moldova channel.

According to Dungaciu, the interminable political crisis in Chisinau affects the image of President Sandu and will not bring political advantages to the PAS in eventual snap parliamentary elections.

“No matter what happens at the consultations, regardless of the Constitutional Court’s decisions, it will be a bad, incorrect step that will be hard to be managed for what we all called optimistically the political project of Maia Sandu,” said Dan Dungaciu.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, Parliament can be dissolved if the MPs are unable to adopt laws and decisions during three months or if two attempts to invest the Government fail.
