Attach Moldavia to Romania so that it “does not suffer”
Speaking at a conference of the Popular Movement party, the ex-president of Romania, Traian Basescu, put forward the initiative to hold a referendum on unification with Moldova, reports TASS. He recalled that he offered to do this to his Moldovan colleagues: Vladimir Voronin, Mihai Ghimpu and the current leader, Nikolai Timofti.
At the congress, Basescu explained his position: “Moldova’s chance to get into the European Union is an association with Romania. I told both Voronin and Ghimpu and Timofti that this is a solution for both states. ”
In addition, Basescu criticized the current Romanian President Klaus Johannis (who, as is known, declared the country's main goal to join the euro zone). “You can’t think of anything funnier,” Basescu said of this decision. - Obligation under the agreement on accession to the EU can not be the goal of the country. The goal of the country should be the unification of Romania and Moldova. "
Earlier, Basescu called Moldova “Romanian land” and proposed to make “the reunification of the two states the third largest national project of Romania after joining NATO and the EU”. As the results of a recent study, reminds TASS, in Romania, the project Basescu supported about 68% of citizens.
Other statements made by the former president at the congress lead IA "REGNUM".
According to Basescu, “Romanian politicians lack the courage to discuss this topic, and the Moldovan ones all the more.” However, the former leader of Romania is convinced that the right moment for the preparation of an appropriate referendum in both states has already come. This decision promises benefits for both Moldova and Romania.
“Romania will strengthen its position in NATO and the EU; the Republic of Moldova will be able to get rid of the torments of the transition period, which, judging by the events in Ukraine, will never end,” Basescu said.
Romania, he said, should “address historical errors ". Traian Basescu said: “Romania today cannot live by the conspiracy of two criminals, Stalin and Hitler, signed by two other criminals, Ribbentrop and Molotov. Today we live according to their agreement, which divided the Romanians into two states. "
Clearly, we’ll add on our own that the mentioned Basescu, and with it 68% of the polled citizens of Romania, Moldovans are not considered a nation. And if there is no separate Moldovan people, there can be no state with its borders and government. Must be a single and indivisible Romania. Hence, the Basescu project called “Great Romania”. In the end, most Romanians approve of this idea, so why not arrange a referendum?
However, Traian Basescu is cunning. Even if we discard the well-known historical events, forget about conflicts and the Nazi past, which seems to threaten to return somewhere, then it will not work to ignore the mood of Moldovan citizens.
If among the Romanians 68% would like to “Greater Romania”, that is, simply speaking, the accession of Moldova, then among the overwhelming majority of Moldovans the projects of Traian Basescu are not approved.
Opinion polls invariably demonstrate: the majority of Moldovans are against unification with Romania. In addition, according to various sociological polls, most of the country's population wants integration with the Customs Union, and not with the EU.
It is also important to know something else: among those Romanians who are ready to vote for the “Great Romania”, many have no idea about how Moldova lives. “Inscop” survey conducted on July 9-14 on July 2015, showedthat a significant part of Romanians (more than 40%) does not follow the situation in Moldova and does not know anything about the events taking place there!
Of course, these forty percent are hardly aware of the political News Moldova. And gentlemen should know them to potential "unifiers".
The Moldovan Socialist Party in the Parliament in the spring came out in favor of banning organizations promoting the idea of unification of Romania with Moldova (the so-called unionism). This initiative was a response to the May procession, organized by small supporters of the unification of Moldova with Romania in Chisinau. The press wrote that the protesters shouted not only calls for Moldova to join Romania, but also anti-Russian slogans.
“The PSRM registered a bill declaring all organizations and political parties that are in favor of overthrowing the state system to be illegal,” сказал party leader Igor Dodon. “We insist that this issue be put on the parliament’s agenda.”
"Vesti Moldova" remind that 5 of June in Chisinau supporters of the “association” held a rally and march at the same time (5 thousand participants) dedicated to the 203 anniversary of the conclusion of the Peace of Bucharest. The action was organized by the public organization “Action-2012”. Its supporters claim that the 1806-1812 Russian-Turkish war ended. The Bucharest peace treaty between the Russian and Ottoman empires "led to the occupation of Romanian territory between Prut and Dniester." Some politicians in Chisinau hold a similar opinion, despite the fact that Romania as a state did not exist at that time.
The collection of signatures by the PSRM for banning the activities of supporters of the “association” began in late July of 2015.
But forty percent of Romanians are apparently not interested in this issue. Like the former Romanian president.
There is also an opinion that Moldova may turn into a new hot spot. Too much of Ukraine. However, Ukraine will also be tied up here - what kind of "Great Romania" without a piece of Ukraine? Already, Basescu knows that there are one and a half hundred thousand Romanians living in Ukrainian Bessarabia. So, it is necessary, like the Moldovans, to give them a "chance."
Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland wrote recently in The New York Times that Transnistria could become the next Crimea.
Both Moldovan supporters of European integration, and supporters of the Eurasian Economic Union are now indignant towards the Moldovan elites, считает Secretary General of the Council of Europe. In the near future, the country may face serious economic shocks if the authorities fail to do everything necessary to restore external financing, suspended in anticipation of concrete actions to combat corruption.
According to Jagland, Moldova’s relations with Transnistria are deteriorating. A full-blown conflict is unlikely, the politician believes, but “in such a tense environment” the situation can get out of control.
As a result, we will add on our own the topic of a probable international conflict, in which not only Romania, Moldova and Transdniestria, but also Ukraine will be drawn, has already reached the level of pan-European discussion.
Apparently, Basescu and forty percent of Romanians do not care. The main thing is to attach, and there at least to fight with Russia. Romania is "great."
Leading Researcher at RISI Vasily Kashirin said Pravda.Ruthat the ethnocratic model of the state operates in Moldova, however ethnocracy has problems of its own self-identification: “Now the government includes the liberal party of Mr. Mihai Ghimpu, which is absolutely pro-Romanian, that is, advocating union with Romania. They do not hide it. Their electorate, stably voting for this party, fluctuates around the 10% of the elections. These same 10% of the Moldavian population have a pronounced Romanian national identity. They consider themselves not Moldovans, but Romanians. Another thing is that their party is still a minority, of course, they do not have the majority. ”
Only ten percent.
At the same time, Kashirin stressed that the influential politicians of Moldova understand that they are completely dependent on the West. And of course, Washington and Brussels will not give the go-ahead to change the borders in Europe. Therefore, the Moldovan authorities pursue a policy of gradual de-Russification of Moldova, which leads to the construction of the second separate Romanian state.
About exactly how Romania assumes at the expense of Moldova to make itself "great", told "Russian Planet" Andrei Safonov, President of the Association of Independent Political Scientists of Transnistria. According to him, Romania intends to unite with Moldova in the EU only together with Transnistria.
Bucharest intends to prevent the transformation of Moldova (including Transnistria) in the buffer zone between Russia and NATO. The expert explained that Romanian politicians see the following scenario: Russian troops are withdrawn, and instead of peacekeepers on the Dniester - civilian observers. The latter will close their eyes to the attempt to solve the Transnistrian issue by force. “In a word, the entire former MSSR should become part of Romania (no matter what sauce), and then the combined“ Great Romania ”, which left on the left bank of the Dniester and the approaches to Odessa, can safely, with Transnistrian“ appendage ”, join NATO. Perhaps this is how the Romanians put the question before the United States, hoping to get thanks for the fact that after the decision to deploy US missile defense elements in Bucharest, the United States has become America’s closest ally and confidant in the region, ”the analyst believes.
We summarize: the source of Romanian greatness is the United States of America. And if so, the Romanians and their politicians may indeed not be interested in the opinion of the majority of Moldovans. You can even not know anything about Moldova. What for? Join - let's figure it out.
Lost only about this: Uncle Sam "great" does not like. “Great” on the planet is only one.
