Dodon hopes that the West will bring Sandu to his senses
The US and EU ambassadors should force the pro-Western Prime Minister of Moldova, Maia Sandu, to withdraw her bill on the election of the prosecutor general, because of which the coalition government could collapse and the country would be forced to hold early parliamentary elections.
President of Moldova Igor Dodon stated this on air on the NTV Moldova TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The ambassadors can force Sandu to withdraw the bill. If international partners want to maintain the coalition, let them put pressure on our coalition partners,” Dodon said.
Let us recall that Dodon’s Socialist Party and the pro-European ACUM bloc created a coalition in June under pressure from Russia, the USA and the EU in order to oust the oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc from power.
According to Dodon, Sandu has now brought the coalition to the brink of collapse not at the direction of the West, but “impromptu.” According to his information, the EU and US ambassadors, who were in Bavaria that day at a conference on Transnistria, were shocked and therefore immediately upon arrival in Chisinau they went to the government to persuade Sandu.
At the same time, he expressed confidence that after the fall of Sandu’s cabinet, access to Western funding will not be blocked.
“You can’t say like in that movie: “The master appointed me as his beloved wife,” - only Western ambassadors love me, and no one else. You need to be more modest and down to earth. Everything will be fine with the financial situation. Our partners do not support specific people, but reforms. If they are carried out, any government will receive support from both the West and the East,” Dodon said.
