Moldova has always been 50 years behind the developments in the countries from the continent. It remained a country with an enormous potential for positive changes, but always with the unsuitable government, considers Doru Curosu, an active young man who is a member of the European Youth Forum. He stated his opinions in an article produced by IPN on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Moldova’s Independence.
Speaking about the successes and failures, the young man said there are always reasons for complaining, but Moldova is actually a European state that does not witness dictatorship and didn’t reach extremes as other countries did. During these years, progress has been made in pro-EU statements and intentions such as the signing of the Association Agreement, which is a very important step for Moldova. Several important laws on the youth, tobacco control, equality insurance and other issues were adopted, but their implementation leaves to be desired.
Doru Curosu noted that we cannot speak about political, financial and social independence either. The Transnistrian issue wasn’t resolved. The problems of national identity, official language and firm political course weren’t solved either. Each of us is to blame for the situation in the country – those who remained and those who left, the rich and the poor, the ordinary employees and those who are in power.
The young man wants the country to have now by at least 1 million people more, preferably young people, a solid, innovative education system oriented to the needs of the state, developed agriculture, building materials sector and wine sector, a well-organized legislative system, developed towns, and no territorial problems. Moldova should also have a firm and independent external policy based on the people’s needs, be attractive from touristic viewpoint, have monuments recognized by UNESCO, tourist routes etc.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the declaration of Moldova’s Independence, 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 have been published starting with July 18.
