“This is a strong blow to the millions of Moldovans who were expecting help from this money. Opposition parties, together with oligarchic forces that contested this financial assistance to the Constitutional Court, have today achieved a cynical decision directed against their own citizens in an attempt to leave them without money, to prevent the state from helping them, ”Dodon wrote on Facebook.
He noted that this would hit budget workers and retirees, as well as the entire economy.
“We note with concern that the judges of the Constitutional Court, who supported the abolition of financial assistance from the Russian Federation today, showed that they support the interests of political clans, and not the interests and needs of citizens,” the head of state added.
On April 17, Moldovan President Igor Dodon said that Moldova and Russia signed a loan agreement in the amount of € 200 million.
Later, the Constitutional Court of Moldova suspended the entry into force of the law on the country receiving a loan from Russia. On May 7, the court declared the agreement unconstitutional.
According to the head of state, in case of cancellation of the agreement, the country “will not have money for road repairs, investment projects, as well as social payments, will fall into the risk zone”.
