Moldova’s union with Romania is the only solution to all the problems, the leader of the Liberal Party Mihai Ghimpu, who is running for President, said in the talk show “Emphasis on today” on TVR Moldova channel, IPN reports.

“Only if we unite will we be able to get rid of corruption, inefficient justice and banking frauds, and poverty too. Only this way will we have a better life. The project failed. During a quarter of century, we managed to do nothing. We do not have economy and investments and the people cannot live better,” stated Ghimpu.

The Liberal leader is optimistic that the union can take place, even if most of the citizens, as polls show, plead for keeping the statehood. ”When we started the national liberation struggle and the struggle for language and alphabet, nobody thought that we will succeed. When we voted the Declaration of Independence, most of us were aware that we voted for a step towards the union with Romania. But the power was taken over by persons who led the country to another direction. Now our people have to work on the land of those who humiliated them, in Russia,” he stated.

In the program, the chairman of the Liberal Party accused the mass media of having a compassionate attitude to the persons who were arrested over the banking frauds. “The press defends bandits like Platon and Filat and pities them. But the poor people do not have enough food and do not have clothes to wear owing to those who robbed,” said the politician.
