The Communist Party (PCRM) accuses the government coalition of prompting anti-people policies owing to which the farmers cannot sell their products on the traditional markets.

“The direct losses in the vegetal sector are assessed at not less than US$150 million, in the wine, canning and sugar industries – at US$350 million, while the losses of the carriers, packing producers and other related sectors cannot be even determined,” reads a statement issued by the party.

According to the PCRM, the state budget and the social and health insurance budgets will be compromised. “The fiscal revenues will decline suddenly. The Gross Domestic Product will decrease by at least 7% a year. Instead of taking prompt action, the senior government officials pose before cameras and venture into all kinds of strange events such as the battle with tomatoes and the making of a giant pie from apples that could not be sold,” says the statement, quoted by the IPN.

The Communist Party considers that the government will destroy the country’s banking system by making promises about the compensation of the Moldovan farmers for their losses with miserable sums. This will not improve their situation. The farmers will not be able to repay the bank loans.

The party says it is against such shameful policies. Together with its supporters, the PCRM backs farmers’ demands concerning the adoption of immediate actions and concrete mechanisms for saving this year’s harvest, including until the suspension of the Free Trade Agreement with the EU and the initiation of a dialogue on its new conditions.
