The Moldovan government made a scandalous decision
The pro-European government of Moldova decided to declare August 23 the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Stalinism and Nazism.
This was reported by the NewsMaker website, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In accordance with the decision of the European Parliament, the government declares August 23 the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of All Totalitarian Regimes. We call on everyone, especially television channels, to announce a minute of silence on this day at 20:00,” said Prime Minister Maia Sandu.
The government's initiative caused a negative reaction in Moldova.
“Finally, I understood what a “free state”, “fight against oligarchs”, “justice” and everything that these gentlemen promised us means,” the chairman of the Public Council “For a Free Motherland” commented on the government’s decision on Facebook. Igor Tulyantsev.
“How can you equate Stalin and Hitler?! One attacked and destroyed our people, our country. And Stalin, who raised the country to fight this brown plague, liberated all of Europe. If Hitler had implemented his plan, then Maia Sandu would have been some kind of governess for a bald lieutenant of the fascist army.
Tell Dodon: if he signs coalition documents with these people, then it will become clear to everyone that he is the same. I hope that the Socialist Party and Dodon will express their disagreement with what the government of Maia Sandu is doing and cancel this decision that humiliates the people,” Ruslan Popa, leader of the movement “For the USSR,” said in the video.
“Please tell me, Maya Grigorievna, can I, at least on August 23, hit the faces of those modern Nazis who threaten me and my children today? In honor of the holiday, so to speak. Due to the fact that the native language is Russian and the nationality is clearly “something different.” I confirm, from all four sides (nationalities) it would have burned in the furnace of a concentration camp. Some citizens with Nazi views are close to the current government. The government’s new decision is another slap in the face,” TV journalist Elena Levitskaya-Pakhomova wrote on Facebook.
The European Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Stalinism and Nazism is celebrated on August 23, the day of the signing of the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) and the Secret Additional Protocol, “which divided Europe into spheres of influence.”
