The renouncing of Europeanization means perpetuation of the oligarchic danger, considers political pundit Anatol Țăranu. He made such a statement following  the appearance of eventual scenarios of partial coalitions between the bloc ACUM DA PAS with the Party of Socialists in particular areas in the future Parliament, IPN reports.

The analyst noted those who formally won the elections in Moldova – the Party of Socialists – never neglected geopolitics. “They won most of the seats of MP owing to a very clear geopolitical message – we go towards Moscow - and a relative majority of electors voted for them,” stated Anatol Țăranu.

According to him, those who struggled against oligarchy, the bloc ACUM (Now), gained the smallest number of votes compared with the others. “What should we ultimately expect? If we neglect the geopolitical factor, we will slip to an area dominated by oligarchy and have no chance of eradicating this. The oligarchic danger exists in the Republic of Moldova and this should be done away with. The question is how to do this. The renouncing of Europeanization means perpetuation of the oligarchic danger for decades and even longer,” said the pundit.

Journalist Vlad Darie said he does not understand the approach to exterminate oligarchy during 12 months as oligarchy never ends and this exists in all the countries at present. “It is simply not in power in all the states. I cannot imagine how oligarchy can be eradicated during 12 months – by compiling a list of oligarchs and arresting these one by one only because they are oligarchs?  In a state governed by the rule of law, there are other forms of fighting corruption, not oligarchy,” he noted.

In the journalist’s opinion, the fight against corruption is not a campaign, but a well-balanced state policy that resides in the building of absolutely independent institutions whose duty is to fight corruption. “We have to strengthen and build these institutions so as to separate the powers and really have efficiency. I see the struggle against corruption as a part of the process of modernizing the Republic of Moldova. It cannot exist as a program itself,” stated Vlad Darie.
