Former Prime Minister Valeriu Muravski considers the Republic of Moldova missed a big chance of coming closer to the European Union in 2009-2012. According to him, if they had followed the promised path from the very beginning, after 2020-2025 Moldova could have been integrated into the EU, IPN reports.
“New, younger political parties with other views, which wouldn’t have been involved in all these negative processes, and with people with another intelligence level should now come to power. Surely, without the European Union’s support, it will be very hard to change things. First of all, I would say that despite all the problems it faces, Romania should become involved and try to help us,” the ex-Premier stated in an interview for Radio Free Europe.
Valeriu Muravski said he counts on at least a part of the Moldovans who went to the West. If at least some of them return hypothetically, about 25%, it would be much easier to change things in the country. “I say so not only because I was Prime Minister. I have also a mercantile interest and hope that least a part of my grandchildren will return. Otherwise, if the current situation continues for five, seven or eight years, the Republic of Moldova will be fully depopulated,” he stated.
The former Premier noted that in the absence of immunity against the power, this corrupts you and you lose contact with the reality, the sorrows of people and their daily problems. The gang that always appears around the rules in most of the cases pursues obscure, evil, personal interests and it has been like this during these 26 years of independence.
As to the banking frauds, Valeriu Muravski said these caused a disaster. Before 2000, the banking system was the only relatively functional system that developed and tried to supply the economy with financial resources. There is no justification for those frauds and for governments’ attempts to fill the so-called black gaps in the banking system.
Asked what the Moldovan economy lacks now to be functional, the ex-Premier noted that everything shroud be change. If another political class and other parties do not come, changes will not be possible. Valeriu Muravski sees his future only in the process of integration and rapprochement with the European Union.
