University professor and famous heart surgeon Grigore Tinică, currently director of the Iasi Cardiovascular Diseases Institute “Prof. Dr. George I. M. Georgescu”, said the Republic of Moldova is now governed by individuals who safeguard not citizens’ interests, but the interests of particular entities. Moreover, the professor noted the country is on the verge of a precipice, IPN reports.
“The citizens of the Republic of Moldova should think about the direction they must follow. We should not go against the wind and the current as we will arrive nowhere. Moldova seems to be close to drowning,” Grigore Tinică stated in the program “Emphasis on Today” on TVR Moldova channel.
The professor, who left for Romania at the start of the 1990s, said Moldova’s GDP is now the smallest in Europe, which is inadmissible, while the living conditions in the two states are different.
“It is inadmissible because people, cousins, relatives live on both sides of the Prut and speak the same language. If you go to Botoșani, you will see that the people there are similar to those from a village in Nisporeni. The people, the geographical areas are the same. Why should the same people live differently? Because some wanted and still want to enrich themselves, their families and friends. It is a gang of individuals thinking about their pockets and their wellbeing. We should yet think about those who are sadder than we are,” stated Grigore Tinică.
Asked why there are such differences, the Moldovan doctor said the country’s foreign direction made the political class in Romania much more disciplined. There were abuses in Romania too, but there are no serious parties that would think to go in another direction than towards the European Union and NATO. There are different viewpoints as to how the country should develop, but all the people follow one direction.
Professor Grigore Tinică is a member of the most important national and international professional organizations of cardiovascular surgeons. In 2013-2014, he headed the Romanian Society of Cardiovascular Surgery, which enabled him to organizer in Iasi two national cardiovascular surgery congresses that involved foreign specialists and an International Symposium of Cardiovascular Medicine in Chisinau. Presently, Dr. Grigore Tinică heads the Euro-Asiatic Bridge Society and the Clinical and Experimental Cardiovascular Research Foundation.
