The Republic of Moldova is at a crossroads. During the 27 years of independence, the Republic of Moldova continuously lost the enthusiasm for going towards democracy, the European Union and the path to sustainable development, expert of the Institute for Development and Social Initiative “Viitorul” Rosian Vasiloi stated when he was asked by IPN enumerate the most relevant events or actions that strengthened or, on the contrary, weakened the values of democracy, independence and the rule of law since the previous anniversary of Moldova’s independence.
Rosian Vasiloi said he and his family do not feel that safety that should be provided by the state institutions. He ascertained with regret an advanced level of usurpation of the power in the state, selective justice, non-observance of the right to free expression, which is manifested by persecutions, denigration, manipulation of the public opinion organized by the state institutions and political-oligarchic forces and attempts to make someone keep silent.
Nevertheless, he is optimistic and hopes that things will change. That’s why he didn’t choose to leave the country and decided to become involved in civic activities so as to change and stop the backslides of the government. “We will resist. We are determined to go till the end,” stated Rosian Vasiloi.
The expert believes we are those who should get rid of the “skeletons” from the Parliament, the Government and the Presidential Office and should bring new people to Moldovan politics and adopt the law on lustration. “I don’t know if we could do this so quickly given the situation in which the Republic of Moldova is now after these 27 years. But there is one very important thing we should do – to find our identity. We should remove the barbed wire from our minds and get our freedom back. We should be ready to make sacrifices for Moldova to make progress! I do this daily!”, said the expert.
Rosian Vasiloi also said that he never believed that his family will be affected by the unprecedented migration wave. But it was. After graduating from the university, his elder daughter emigrated. She did it because she saw no prospects in Moldova. She feels safe, free and enjoys rights where she is now. Moldova could not offer her this.
