Briefness first and foremost – September 4, 2018 IPN digest

The way in which the events of August 26-27 and September 1 developed will be definitely analyzed for a long time and one will be even wise after the event.

This way, the Government tries to trivialize the protests and to make the opposition tired, considers politologist Dionis Cenusa. In parallel with this, the PDM continues to implement, in its own manner, the technical conditions for receiving the EU macro-financial assistance.

In the future, according to the politologist, the geopolitical confrontation ensured by President Igor Dodon, who will inevitably disseminate Euro-skeptical messages in the context of the World Congress of Families (September 14-16, 2018), will be reanimated.

Centering in the same subjects that passed from the past week to the current one, the IPN experts are convinced that the promoters of the Union forgot themselves of cohesion and union. For example, the leader of the PL, even if he recently declared on a TV channel that he would like the Union to occur even on December 1 this year, didn’t lead the party to unionists’ marches and meetings of 2010-2018.

Why? An answer could be obtained not even from Termoelectrica, which automated its Call Center.

According to a press release of the heat supplier, the new service will offer the people the possibility of performing such operations as transmission of current meter readings, notification of leaks or quality problems and others. The persons who will not obtain an answer to their question could get in touch with an operator. Surely, one cannot ask when meters will be installed at each radiator; when a clear formula for calculating the cost of heat will be implemented; etc., etc.

We can presume that things will become clearer when the Iași-Chișinău gas pipeline will be put into operation. In this connection, Minister Kiril Gaburici said once again that the Ungheni-Chișinău section is to become functional at the end of 2019 according to plan.

The connection of Moldova to the European Union’s railroad system is another priority of the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure given that the Moldovan trains that want to enter the EU have to change the wheels at the frontier as the European gauge is narrower than Moldova’s. No deadline was mentioned here. Other governments ventured to complete the works in two-three years, but the aforementioned minister didn’t forget that his term in office ends in several months only...

Experts of the independent think tank “Expert-Grup” also suggest being realistic. They compiled the rankings of banking performance at end-July. Moldova Agroindbank, Mobiasbancă and Moldindconbank head the rankings of the commercial banks with the best performance. Actually, Banca de Economii was the best too in its time... Banca Socială and Unibanca weren’t foolish either, but they ultimately disappeared, making the repayment of the state debts to the National Bank our burden.

Two new trolleybus routes will become available in Chișinău as of September 10 and this will be of real use to the inhabitants and guests of the capital city. The new routes are No. 32 that will ensure connection between 31 august St and Stăuceni commune and No. 33 that will connect the State Agrarian University of Moldova and Bariera Sculeni St.

Battery-powered trolleybuses will run on both of the routes, three on route No. 32 and two on route No. 33. Not many trolleybuses in fact and in the current traffic conditions in Chisinau, which are not an issue to which the city managers devote attention, we can expect that the timetable of departures and arrivals at each station will most probably not be respected and the passengers will rather get angry than rejoice. But we should not anticipate things.
