Laughter is a weapon that often disarms not because you don’t care about what is being done to you, but because you don’t give up and this discourages. The Moldovans are known for the saying “the worse should not come” but now they put all their hope in the European integration, said writer Gheorghe Bâlici.

“In the recent past, we, the Moldovan from between the Prut and the Nistru and also from beyond the Nistru, hope to enter the European Union together and have what to rejoice at and we hope that evil will remain far from us and will not cross the border as we are still being followed attentively,” the writer stated in an interview with Vocea Basarabiei, being quoted by IPN.

According to Gheorghe Bâlici, the citizens should congratulate each other on what is happening now in Moldova and Ukraine and be grateful to the brothers from over the Prut for the assistance offered permanently to us as without Iohannis’s support, this accomplishment couldn’t have been possible probably.

Asked what he believes about the messages transmitted regulatory by the Kremlin to the Republic of Moldova and the fact that the Moldovans no longer use Russian gas, Gheorghe Bâlici said that the citizens are glad when they pay less and are grateful for the compensation paid to them. “The Russian gas remains more expensive than the alternative gas. All the informed people know that we have sufficient quantities of gas for this winter and we will not need to get frozen in our homes. Sometimes the people agree to pay more to avoid what happened earlier,” stated Gheorghe Bâlici.

He also said that everyone should make effort for the European integration desideratum to be achieved and a lot of work is to be done from now on.

Gheorghe Bâlici concluded that for now these results do not have a direct impact that can be felt by the ordinary citizens and a lot of time will yet pass until the people will be satisfied with their pensions and salaries.
