On August 27, it will be 17 years of the proclamation of Moldova’s independence. On this occasion, Info-Prim Neo News Agency continues a series of materials presenting certain views on what is called in specialty speech as “the state of the nation” at a certain period in history. We thought it right to use this occasion to let as many as possible people say their opinions, people with as many as possible beliefs and viewpoints concerning the wishes of the year 1991, seeming so far and so close, at the same time, and what has been achieved so far. The coming days, a concourse of people have visited Info-Prim Neo, maybe tens of personalities with important roles in the events having occurred all these years in Moldova, regardless of how they were, are and will be treated by people and History. We had the ambition to invite all the presidents and prime-ministers who have led this country for 17 years. We have approached former and present politicians belonging to different schools, opinion leaders, artists and ordinary people. It seems we had a single interest for all of them: how they can look at the Independence as if in a mirror. Because, in our opinion, the attempt to assess the state of affairs in the country on an occasion as the Independence anniversary is much similar to consider one's own face in a mirror. Other things are seen, the whole reality is seen as it is. So far, the Agency has been visited by: the first Head of the Parliament of Independent Moldova Alexandru Mosanu, former Prime Minister Ion Ciubuc, we remembered about Ion and Doina Aldea-Teodorovici, and about Gheorghe Ghimpu (see http://www.info-prim.md/?a=10&nD=2008/08/22 ). We then offered the Info-Prim Neo’s rostrum to the former Deputy Speaker of Parliament, writer Ion Hadarca, former Prime Minister Vasile Tarlev, the founder of “Alexei Mateevici” Cenacle Anatol Salaru and the founding member of the Social-Democratic Movement Viorel Ciubotaru (see http://www.info-prim.md/?a=10&nD=2008/08/23 ). Info-Prim Neo's hosted the first President of Moldova Mircea Snegru, the former Prime Ministers Mircea Druc and Dumirtu Braghis, the political analyst Serghei Nazaria, the former MP Ilya Trombitsky, the writer Nicolae Dabija ( see http://info-prim.md/?a=10&nD=2008/08/25 ). Finally we would like to present you the former premiers Valeriu Muravschi and Andrei Sangheli, ex-members of Parliament Buburuz and Grigori Volovoi, former Foreign Minister Nicolae Tau, one of the leaders of the first political party registered after the Independence Oazu Nantoi, Oazu Nantoi, the advisor of the Jewish Organizations and Communities Association and of the Jewish Congress in Moldova Teodor Magder and the present Prime-Minister Zinaida Greceanai. The Columbian Xavier Socha was pleased to speak on how he sees the quality of Moldova's independence and the qualities of the Moldovan people. It was only President Vladimir Voronin who has not accepted to look at Moldova's Independence as in a mirror… In these conditions, protecting the public's interest for topics of public interest, Info-Prim Neo News Agency publishes only the questions regularly addressed to Mister President Vladimir Voronin on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of Moldova's independence. No answer. ( see http://info-prim.md/?a=10&nD=2008/08/26 ) [Info-Prim Neo team]
