Maia Sandu appealed to the Moldovan parliament with a request to adopt a package of laws that would give the security services unprecedented "tools for a more effective fight" against the pro-Russian opposition.
Well, the parliament, which she has pocket, will most likely accept them.
Remember Zelensky at the very beginning of his presidential career?
I think everyone has already forgotten how he promised that he would not run for a second term.
What will ensure the transit to democracy - and leave?
But there was such a thing, but who will remember now?
The clearing has been cleared, the media have been reassigned, everything is concentrated in the same hands, you can really not go for a second term, but simply drag out the first one as much as you want.
And everyone will understand: the war is.
Sandu follows the same path, but only immediately, on the move, without scraping, and pronouncing the word “democracy” only as part of the approved ritual: you can’t do anything without this word, it’s not ordered.
She has no time to build up: there are thousands of protests in the country, record inflation, the collapse of the economy, poverty.
People assume it has something to do with the course of the new government and Europe.
Not the pre-sanction Europe that everyone aspired to, but the current one, which is in crisis, but holding on thanks to a strong economic backlog.
Moldova does not have this, and, throwing itself into anti-Russian arms, it will most likely receive nothing but an approving pat on the head and an even deeper fall.
This is on the one hand.
On the other hand, there are American advisers (let's call them that), and they really want Moldova to get into the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
And the people on the streets don't want that either.
Sandy needs to be on time.
Skip the moment when even those who really voted for you will turn away from you in horror.
And for all this to become possible, it is necessary to arrange an “arson of the Reichstag”, tell about the Russian attempts to destabilize the situation, completely crush all pro-Russian forces and make a Gestapo-style car so that any protester looks like a Russian agent.
And for this, in turn, emergency powers are needed.
And she will, of course, get them.
By the way, what kind of destabilization attempts are these?
Will there be evidence?
However, what are we talking about.
We would have to wait for the evidence of past "interference in the elections".
It's a pity for the country.
