The Republic of Moldova is vulnerable in terms of state and citizen security, economic, energy and food security, said invitees to the program “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.
Veaceslav Untila, chairman of the parliamentary commission on national security, defense and public order, said the political crisis deepens the security risks. “We are even more vulnerable owing to the political crisis. Anyway, the police and the Security and Intelligence Service fulfill their obligations, despite the fact that we have a provisional government. I hope we will have an authentic government and things will normalize,” he stated.
Mihai Godea, chairman of the Democratic Action Party, considers poverty is one of the threats to state security. “Poverty is the main threat. There is also the political instability. The control at the border with Transnistria is very poor. We consider control filters should be set up at the border with Transnistria,” he stated.
Former deputy minister of the interior Ghenadie Cosovan said investments are needed in ensuring security. “The situation in Moldova is now favorable for the manifestation of different extremist, separatist and even terrorist forces. It’s known that when there are mass protests, about 100 people are needed to transform them from peaceful into violent. In the case of protests, the police are engaged in maintaining public order and there are often insufficient forces to fight crime. Anyway, we see that the police started to do its job as regards ensuring of security. We must have confidence and invest in them,” he stated.
