Too many mistakes and too many chances wasted in Republic of Moldova - Valeriu Muravschi

Ex-Prim-minister of Republic of Moldova, Valeriu Muravschi, affirms that in 15 years that have passed from the declaration of Independence, the Republic of Moldova has done too many mistakes and wasted a great amount of chances. In an interview for Info-Prim Neo, Valeriu Muravschi supported the idea that the declaration of independence from August 27 1991 is a key moment in our history, a moment that offered the opportunity to reclaim self-government, national values, out history, our culture etc. In the years that followed, essential changes took place, such as the adaptation of the legal institutions to suit independence, establishment of a state with equal opportunities, reorganization of the political, social and economic regimes, the society at whole evolved, and all these took place despite the errors along the way, stated Valeriu Muravschi. Yet the quoted source also mentioned that, in these 15 years, several opportunities to promote the required changes were wasted, opportunities that would have allowed us to have, eventually, a high degree of economic evolution, as well as a corresponding level of warranties for the citizen rights. The Ex-prime minister reminded that in 1993, in a World Bank report, the Republic of Moldova was situated on the III place by reform promotion. The Agrarians have brought the reforms to a still, and precious time was wasted in that period, and eventually after their government Moldova ended up poor and economically unfit. In the 1998-2001 years the Democratic Alliance for Reforms tried to make up for the time loss, and in 2001 there was a significant economic growth, but then the current ruling party came to force and the changes were brought to a still. Another chance was wasted. About the future of Moldova, the former Prime-minister stated that the situation is in the hands of the ruling party and the society, and it all depends on how the society will react to the reforms if it feels these changes will eventually lead to stagnation. The former Prime-minister from 1991-1992 is sure that the future of Moldova depends on whether it will manage to join the European Union or not. If Moldova will not join the EU, it will drift undecided between the two big geopolitical blocks – the East led by Rusia and the West represented by the Europen Union, also mentioned Valeriu Muravschi.
