After communicating with Putin, Dodon’s worldview changed
Russia played a decisive role in removing the former “master of Moldova,” oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc, from power, since it considers him responsible for the anti-Russian policies of recent years.
Businessman Vyacheslav Platon, who is now in a Moldovan prison, stated this in an interview with TV8 channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It was growing. Deportation of Russian citizens and journalists. All together. This is great-power chauvinism. It is unbearable for them when some Moldova humiliates Great Russia like that. The Russians had no financial relations with Plahotniuc. Well, who is he? He is smart and you can see it from afar. But Russians are a little different. They are either friends or enemies, and they don’t like smart-ass people.
He tried to hold on to the contradictions of the great powers and create a conflict between two civilizations here. He exchanged support for the opportunity to steal. Everyone gathered, the Russian Federation, the USA, and the EU, and said: let’s throw this smart-ass out of here so that he doesn’t deceive us,” Platon said.
He is sure that Moldovan President Igor Dodon did not consider the possibility of creating a parliamentary coalition with the Democratic Party controlled by Plahotniuc.
“Igor Dodon communicates with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. And being at the beck and call of a certain oligarch Plahotniuc is some kind of nonsense, surrealism beyond good and evil. You communicate with one of the rulers of the world, and on the other hand, you are at Plahotniuc’s beck and call. It can not be so. Plahotniuc did not understand what it means to communicate with the greats of this world. The worldview is changing,” the businessman noted.
He believes that Dodon “together with the Russians” played Plahotniuc when he negotiated with him to create a coalition. Tapes recording these negotiations were published by media controlled by Plahotniuc.
“It was clear in advance that no one thought of creating a coalition with Plahotniuc. Dodon played and played great. I just saw how he played. He played the way I should have played, but I didn’t succeed. And that's why I'm here. Made me a bad guy. And Dodon outplayed him,” said Platon.
Veaceslav Platon was sentenced in Moldova to 18 years in prison for fraud and money laundering on a large scale in the Banca de Economii case. He also received an additional 12 years in another case for similar crimes. The third case is ongoing.
