On July 29, it is 20 years of the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova. IPN News Agency asked a number of analysts and opinion leaders to what extent the Supreme Law ensures now the rule of law and defends the human rights. What is and what the Constitution should be for the country and the ordinary people?

Is the Republic of Moldova a state? Is it sovereign and independent, unitary and indivisible as the Constitution provides?

Nicolae Negru, politic al analyst:

The Republic of Moldova is a state with several constitutive, ‘congenital’ defects that appeared in a Frankenstein-like republic – the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic that was conceived in the Kremlin’s ‘laboratory’ for geopolitical purposes, as a bridgehead of the USSR against Romania. After proclaiming its independence and freeing itself as a result of the fall of the USSR, this artificial state began to be torn apart by contradictory tendencies: the vague wish to return ‘home’, fueled by the survival instinct and the historical memory fluttering in the healthy cells of the body, and the Romania-phobia, anti-Occidentalism or fear to lose the ‘identity’ cultivated in the Soviet ‘laboratory’.

The Republic of Moldova faces serious loyalty problems in the conditions in which Russia (the heir of ‘doctor Frankenstein’) is trying to take over control over the independent state, occupying a part of our territory, stimulating separatism and taking steps to destabilize the situation in other parts of Moldova.

The third defect is related to the administrative system and the Soviet staff, which was put in the situation to act against its will, to reform and adjust itself to a new social-political and economic system.

Though formally it can be named a state, in reality Moldova does not fulfill its economic duties as it fails to attract investments, to ensure the creation of jobs, a minimum salary and a decent pension. The EU grants represent a considerable part of Moldova’s budget (about 10%).

The fact that the Association Agreement with the EU was signed shows that Moldova is a sovereign and independent state and that Russia’s influence on the decision-making process in our county is diminishing for various internal and external reasons. But, Moldova became sovereign and independent with the risk of losing its territorial integrity. It took this risk counting on the support of the EU and the U.S.

Consequently, we can speak about the vitiated functionality of Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, which is endangered by Russia and which wasn’t fully tested.
