The lack of predictability is the major problem faced by Moldova. Instability results in fewer investors, rise in migration, blocked public investments and external partners that are more unwilling to make long-term commitments, said unaffiliated MP George Mocanu, who was recently elected as chairman of the commission on European integration between the Parliaments of Moldova and Romania. In an interview for deschide.md, the politician said that the people’s dissatisfaction is great and is justified, IPN reports.
“The situation worsened especially during the last two years, owing to the multiple political compromises made by the members of the ruling coalition. Forces that do not want the European integration course to be continued in Moldova profited from this situation,” stated George Mocanu.
The politician considers that the current Government has a very difficult mission – to make progress in implementing the Association Agenda with the EU and to bring about palpable results within short timeframes.
As to the demand by a part of the opposition to hold early legislative elections, George Mocanu said that the examples of the last two years showed that the early elections weren’t a good solution for returning things to normality and to the development path. “Moreover, today the parliamentary elections mean both the risk of an economic catastrophe, owing to the difficult situation in the financial sector, and the risk of bringing an anti-West regime behind the Ukrainian front, at the border with Romania and the EU,” he stated.
George Mocanu believes that the next political stake is related to the presidential elections of this autumn. Therefore, many of the political moves in Chisinau should be regarded from a strictly electoral perspective.
In another development, the politician said the goal of the commission on European integration is to develop the relations between Moldova and Romania by learning from Romania’s experience in the European integration process and the efforts should be concentrated on the economic, education, justice and media sectors.
