Since Friday, the Republic of Moldova has had a new government made up of the centre and right parties in the Alliance for European Integration, which holds a majority in the Parliament in Chishinau. Although the political situation remains uncertain until the election of a new head of state, a position the Democrats cannot claim because they lack constitutional majority, the cabinet may be regarded as a success.
It reinforces the responsible solidarity of the pro-reform parties and confirms the decline of the communists who were formerly in power for 8 years beginning with 2001. The president of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, congratulated the new cabinet and spoke of the need to continue reforms.
The government in Chishinau validates Romania’s pro-European stance regarding the Republic of Moldova and the intense efforts made in 2010 to improve bilateral relations, said Romania’s foreign minister Teodor Baconschi in Bucharest.
He believes the Republic of Moldova has a new chance of continuing peace negotiations with the leaders of the break-away region of Transdniester in an extended format. Along these lines, the foreign minister of the Republic of Moldova, Iurie Leanca, hailed Russia’s readiness to become involved in solving the problem.
Transdniester broke away from the Republic of Moldova following an armed conflict in 1992, when it benefited from direct support from the Russian army. Ever since, the region has been surviving solely on subsidies from Moscow, while the leaders of Transdniester, the majority of whom are Russian citizens, say their future is alongside Russia.
The United States also hailed the formation by the Alliance for European Integration of a new government in the Republic of Moldova. In an official release, Washington says it is a strong supporter of Moldova’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity and its citizens’ aspirations to build a European and prosperous state.
The new cabinet in Chishinau will hold its first meeting on Wednesday, as it still has many problems to address, including the 2011 budget. 2011 has brought the Republic of Moldova, which is considered to be Europe’s poorest country, a whole series of price increases, in particular the price of energy products. The highest such prices are the result of the increase in the price of natural gas from Russia and electricity from the Ukraine.
