Ex-minister of education Maia Sandu said the current government is no longer legitimate because it does not represent the people’s will. “The way in which the so-called parliamentary alliance was formed and in which the Government was voted has nothing to do with the democratic practices,” the politician wrote on a social networking site, quoted by IPN.
Maia Sandu regrets the use of violence during the recent protests. “But the people forced the Parliament’s door in the same way as you, dear MPs, forced the door of politics lately. I ask myself who the members of Cabinet swore an oath to at midnight? To the people from whom they hid and who they cheated? It’s normal for them to be afraid after they lied to the people and robbed it. It’s normal for the people to be angry and revolted,” she wrote.
The ex-minister noted that the situation is very difficult. “On the one hand, we face a corrupt regime that impoverished us and that now encroaches upon the freedoms that we obtained with so great difficulty. On the other hand, there is a risk that our anger will be used by forces that do not necessarily share democratic values,” she stated.
Maia Sandu called on civil society to continue the protests, but on a platform that would unite all the democratic forces, namely on the civic platform that would enable all the people who share the same democratic values to defend their rights. People’s lives cannot be subject to political bargaining. Moldova must get rid of the shock therapy that was continuously applied to it by the oligarchic regime so that things return to normality.
Maia Sandu also called upon the supporters of the political project “Action and Solidarity Party” that she created not to become involved in acts of violence because violence divides instead of uniting.
