EU conveys two messages with one-voice to Moldova, MEP

The European Union sent high-ranking officials representing all its components to Chisinau simultaneously in order to communicate two distinct messages with one voice, MEP Adrian Severin, deputy chairman of the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, said in a news conference last weekend, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. According to Severin, the first message conveyed during the last week's visit by representatives of the European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission was that all those who can speak in the name of the EU support Moldova in its European integration efforts. The second message is that we all are concerned about the lasting political instability in Moldova. The state institutions couldn't be fully created and there was set up a provisional system that can be endured not even by countries facing less serious economic, social and constitutional problems than Moldova. Speaking about the campaign for the November 28 legislative elections, the MEP urged the electoral contenders, in the name of his group and colleagues from other political groups, not to transform the political fight into a geopolitical one. “The political battle in Moldova should not be a geopolitical competition between those who support the East and those who support the West, between those who are pro-Russia and those who are pro-Europe or pro-Romania. All should be pro-Moldova here. The unity and cohesion of the Moldovan society should be the main objective,” Adrian Severin said. “In the European Parliament's view, all those who are pro-Moldova and manage to bring unity in the Moldovan society, those who build a democrat, prosperous and free Moldova where there is social justice are also pro-Europe. Being pro-Europe, they are not against Russia. In fact, they only contribute to the establishment of important partnerships between the neighbors from the West and the East and to the country's progress.”
