Harvard Sandu Anniversary

Moldovan President Maia Sandu celebrates his 50th birthday.

Someone will say that it is incorrect to publicly congratulate a woman on her anniversary.

This is no more embarrassing than, say, Sandu’s boorish public response to the official congratulations of the Russian president on the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the Great Victory: “We don’t need congratulations, we need peace,” the Moldovan president soaked in the media.

Yesterday, on the air of a local TV channel, Maia Sandu announced that she was taking a vacation at her own expense during the week and flying to Harvard for several days.

There, in the US, Sandu plans to perform at his alma mater and widely celebrate the anniversary with friends.

It's boring in Chisinau and everyone is a stranger.

It is understandable.

In addition to old parents in their native state farm, a former Soviet millionaire, Maya Grigoryevna has nothing to do with Moldova today.

No family, no children.

There isn't even much kumatria.

Is that a burden to work out the role of the local president.

But this is a mandatory program.

Sandu's spiritual mentor, ex-U.S. Ambassador Derek Hogan, today occupies a respectable position in the State Department and promised to give the opportunity to return to Maya's beloved United States after completing his presidential term.

In this sense, of course, all these assurances in Brussels and Paris last week about how Sandu loves Europe and values, how Moldovans cannot eat if they are recognized as non-Europeans, how Bessarabian gypsies fight for every Romanian passport ... this is such hyper-slyness.

Derek Hogan left a good legacy in Moldova.

By the way, during the embassy mission, a pronounced African American did not disdain learning the Moldovan language (namely, Moldovan, not Romanian), wearing Bessarabian embroidered shirts in public, violent overloads at wine holidays, weekly many hours of broadcasts on local TV, etc. As a result, the ambassador The United States achieved its goal and left its Harvard student behind in Moldova as president.

To the fair claims of citizens about the huge inflation, the wild rise in prices and the fall in income, President Sandu also responds in an American way: “Complain to Moscow, to Putin!”

In general, one gets the impression that the Moldovans themselves, hardworking kind people, except for Moscow, are not needed by anyone.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Andrey Rudenko, commenting on the possible exit of Moldova from the CIS to the media, said that “Moldova enjoys a lot of benefits and advantages, in particular, being a member of the free trade zone, and, undoubtedly, the withdrawal from such agreements will have a negative impact on its economy.

In addition, there are a lot of agreements regarding migration, social security, other things, the withdrawal of which, of course, will hurt Moldova itself more than anyone else.”

That is, the possible exit of Moldova from the CIS, announced the day before by the speaker of the Moldovan parliament, Igor Grosu, makes the poorest country in Europe destitute for many generations to come.

It is worth noting here that, according to the Constitution, Moldova is a parliamentary republic with a neutral status.

And the first real political person here is the speaker of parliament.

Today, this Grosu not only withdraws Moldova from the CIS.

It is he who remains on the farm during Maia Sandu's American vacation.

And already publicly on live television, on behalf of the country, he welcomes "foreign military assistance to increase the defense capability of the national army."

The day before, British Foreign Minister Liz Truss, in an interview with The Telegraph, said that negotiations were underway to provide Moldova with NATO defense standards.

“I want to see Moldova equipped according to NATO standards.

We are having such discussions with our allies,” Lisa said.

That is, not only the British, but also the ruling party in Moldova itself do not care about the Moldovan Constitution.

And no one doubts the British plans to unfreeze the Transnistrian conflict.

It remains only to revoke the OSCE peacekeeping mandate.

Although, as Ossetian practice shows, it is possible not to recall.

Against the backdrop of all this epic Bessarabian canvas, bilateral Moldovan-Romanian parliamentary ties are activated.

A joint session of the parliaments of Moldova and Romania has been announced for the end of May.

The corresponding declaration was signed last week in Iasi by representatives of the commissions on foreign policy and European integration and on legal issues, appointments and immunity of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, as well as the commission on foreign policy and the legal commission on appointments, discipline, immunity and confirmations of the Senate of Romania.

"Combining our efforts is a solid basis for achieving the strategic priority goal - a strong and irreversible connection of the Republic of Moldova with the European Union through the mediation of Romania," the parliamentarians signed here.

At least at the parliamentary level, Moldovans and Romanians have no obstacles to merge in European ecstasy.

The only obstacle on this path is the ex-president and informal leader of the opposition, Igor Dodon.

So today, according to the precepts of the fugitive ruler Plahotniuc, he was detained.

For now, 72 hours.

Sandu's prosecutors suspect Dodon of nothing less than "passive corruption and betrayal of the Motherland."

However.
