Moldova (bbabo.net) - Former Prime Minister and current businessman Ion Sturza says that the current gas crisis is no different from the precedents that Moldova has gone through since independence. Sturza is convinced that the country's political future is at stake now, nokta.md reports.
He titled his message: "The history of bygone days, or Moldavian deja vu."
“Some people think that everything is happening in Moldova for the first time since the Nativity of Christ, that the energy crisis is the first and only one. No, dear ones, the real crisis was in the late 1990s with the blackouts of electricity and gas by the separatists, the Russians and their then Ukrainian friends. Accumulated billions in debt, unadjusted tariffs, blackmail, sabotage, incompetence. Everything! Yes, as a minister and then prime minister, I spent days and nights in the supplier's waiting room. I begged the IMF and the World Bank to give us money to pay our bills. And this is against the backdrop of the strongest regional and global economic crisis of 1998,” the former prime minister writes on his Facebook page.
Ion Sturza writes that communist leader Vladimir Voronin came to the rescue at that time, starting to vote for his initiatives. “He came to me and said: “Ion, we are opponents, but we must take care of the country.”
“Who furiously sabotaged me? "Ours" - Kirill Luchinsky and Yuriy Roshka. Yuri turned on the megaphone, climbed a tree and gave up! Demonstrations with assault, stones, sticks and insults. At the turning point, when the protesters broke down the government door, I wonder how I did not give up, I was very young and stupid, ”said Sturza.
The businessman claimed that he returned Voronin's "debt" by supporting Voronin after the rejection of the "Kozak plan" for the federalization of the Republic of Moldova.
“I “returned” the debt to Voronin in time, supporting him at the plenary session (from the stands) after the Russian embargo as a result of the rejection of the “Kozak plan”. By the way, then the left and right supported Voronin. The Russians were given nothing. Why? We had to take care of the country. What has changed today? “Ours” are ready to climb a tree. In order not to further develop the idea of similarities with the Rosca case, Maia Sandu rejected the Kozak-2 plan, incomparably more dangerous than the first, in exchange for a modest reduction in the gas tariff. AND? "Nashi" persuade her to go to Moscow and kiss the Russians' hand for "cheap gas". That's the difference - "ours" or maybe "them", I don't know anymore, they offer to "kiss the hand"! “Ours” are ready to climb trees ... “Ours”, or maybe “them”, I don’t know ... The gas crisis will pass, but not shame and not memory, ”the businessman wrote.
In conclusion, Sturza states that “the political dwarf Dodon never managed to catch up with his mentor Voronin. Therefore, he did not become a statesman, but remained a jester at the court of the king.
