The Transnistrian conflict cannot be a subject for polemics and political speculations. The Communist Party, for the sake of political dividends, endangers the country’s security, Prime Minister Iurie Leanca said in Parliament. According to him, by putting forward a censure motion on the Transnistrian conflict, the Communist MPs profit from the people’s pain in order to return to power, IPN reports.
The Premier considers that after taking such actions aimed at destabilizing the situation, the PCRM risks distancing itself more from its goal to return to power. “The European state we want is independent and this mean the political death of the Communist Party that does not match these values,” he stated.
According to Iurie Leanca, the Government tackles the Transnistrian issue with maximum attention so as to prevent the worsening of the situation. When the Communists were in power, there was no instrument for communicating with the Transnistrian authorities. In 2001 Vladimir Voronin promised to settle the dispute in several months. Afterward, the Communist administration tried to convince Russia of its fidelity, naming the Transnistrian region ‘a black hole’ and ‘a territory for contrabandists”.
“The country’s image was damaged, while the consequences are still felt. We took over a distorted system, while the communication with Tiraspol was blocked,” said Iurie Leanca. The Democratic Government and Parliament elected in 2009 aimed to show the Transnistrian leaders that there are serious partners for dialogue in Chisinau. In 2011, there was restored the dialogue in the 5+2 format. A special fund was created to support the country’s reunification by different projects. The setting up of the six offices of the Migration and Asylum Bureau will not affect the people living in the region. They will only monitor the foreigners who cross the border through the Transnistrian segment.
Iurie Leanca urged the Communist MPs to work for the people’s not the party’s interests. The censure motion against the Leanca Government continues to be discussed in Parliament.
