“Perplexity - because, firstly, the Moldovan side applied for a loan, Russia did not impose anything on anyone. And, secondly, negotiations on the agreement were conducted openly and transparently, starting in November 2019, ”he said.
The deputy minister added that the Moldovan media covered the negotiations, and at that stage no one raised the issue of their constitutionality.
Regret causes a politicized attitude towards Russian credit, Rudenko noted.
“In fairness, it’s worth comparing the terms of loans that Chisinau receives from Russia and other countries and organizations,” he stressed.
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 Dodon, this will hit budget workers and retirees, as well as the entire economy.
