loking forward to it!

Nu am prea inteles faza cu construirea identitatii moldovenesti de catre monarhia româna ! ) Iar in privinta concilierii societatii moldovenesti, slaba speranta ! Uite ce se intampla in Belgia (tara bogara, centrul Europei si monarhie constitutionala). Acolo disputa e numai pe criterii lingvitice ! Cum crezi ca se va reconcilia societatea moldoveneasca, cand ea este polarizata pe criterii economice, lingvistice si ideologice ?

2011-10-16T18:46:48.949+03:00

All good, but how should this plan be implemented in a down to earth situation. I guess, none of the Scandinavian social-democracies would be able to push forward such a change.

2011-07-07T20:04:11.517+03:00

It's smart BOTH for pmr and moldova. PMR suffers from being unrecognised and Moldova suffers from having an unresolved conflict next to it. I don't think Moldova is ever going to get back Budjak etc just as Finland is not going to get Karelia back(there are plenty of other examples)

Self-determination is the way to go. IF a majority of Scots vote for independence(which sems unlikely at the moment despite the SNP result) the rest of the UK won't stop them. The same with Flanders, Bavaria or Basque country.(Franco might have thied, but then again he was a fascist dictator)

Why try to force people into an unwanted union when you can have friendly cooperation between sovereign states?

2011-07-03T11:24:41.442+03:00

[Hitler], for example, has a complex legacy. The setting up of the concentration camps [...] and the extermination of [...] Jews and Roma is obviously a horrific stain on his reputation. On the other hand, he was a gifted and courageous military figure who loved his country. His dismantling of [Germany]'s democracy and adherence to fascism was unforgivable, but was not out of step with the general mood of the times.

"The simplest solution is simply to let Transnistria go."

Oh yeah?

Is it smart? For who?
- For Moldova, what will loose a highly industrial pole outside? And will loose also a chance to obtain back bessarabian Cernauti and Bugeak lands?
- For Russia or Romania, both of them who has separatist trends in the country?
- For international law, giving an example of people "auto-determination", so tomorow will ask independence Spanish Basques Galicians and Catalans, Belgium Flanders, Transilvanian Hungarians, Germany Bavarians, UK Stotish, Welesh, Irish, Cornish, English and Mans people, Armenians Nagorno-Karabakh people, etc etc...?

2011-06-10T20:10:17.679+03:00

I agree with anonymous. The simplest solution is simply to let transnistria go. Perhaps they could be persuaded to return tighina in exchange for independence. The land east of the river has never been traditional romanian land anyway.

2011-06-09T06:05:53.906+03:00

Frankly any form of reintegration of Transnistria will be disastrous for Moldova's future. Moldova has just recently managed to break away from the Soviet mentality that has kept the Communists in power and has allowed the country to set in earnest upon a course of "Europeanization." Adding 600,000 chauvinistic Pro-Russians (the defining characteristic of Transnistrians, which transcends ethnicity) will retard (and probably reverse) this progress for decades to come. Thankfully it's highly unlikely that Transnistria will rejoin Moldova in the foreseeable future if ever.

Zimbru, I love the suggested solutions. While they might not have a snowball's chance in hell of being adopted, they do make interesting reading and great food for thought. Candango

Number 3 was on Tănase's agenda - before he realized AIE was full of cronies. He left the government, but unfortunale they are here to stay.

2011-02-10T02:50:15.519+02:00

From what I understood, an election should still take place before September 2011. The most plausible option is that AIE will hold another referendum this summer with the local elections.

2010-12-05T20:52:28.674+02:00

Your idea is not new and was actually first proposed many years ago by a certain Nicolae Dabija in "Literatura și Arta". It will never work for a simple reason: unlike Moldova, Ukraine will never cede any part of its territory.

As a hypothetical scenario, this would indeed be i...

2010-12-05T05:24:30.440+02:00

As a hypothetical scenario, this would indeed be ideal, however, considering geopolitical realities such a resolution is almost certainly out of the question. First of all, any territorial compensation from Ukraine is out of the question. Yes, they have benefited from Stalin's carving of Bessarabia, yes it would be unfair for them to receive part of what is now de jure Moldovan territory without offering something in return, but they are in a position of power and they know it and it is highly unlikely that considerations of justice will prevail either with the Ukrainian leadership of people for that matter. The most that Moldova can hope for to shake off the Transnistrian burden is to reassert control over Tighina and those territories (which you have mentioned) having a compact, predominantly ethnically Romanian population.
Unfortunately, even such a compromise solution will be hard to attain. Part of the problem is the great political price that will be paid by any Moldovan politician advocating, let alone implementing such a plan. Furthermore, the only party truly interested in such a solution would be Ukraine, which would be gaining territory as a result. For Russia on the other hand, this is the worst possible solution and they will resist it to their best of their abilities (which in these destitute corners of the former Soviet Empire is not negligible).
Unfortunately this conflict will probably remain frozen for quite a while longer...

2010-12-05T00:26:39.364+02:00

Your proposal makes some sense, but what the Nazy Germany and Soviet Russia have done to Romania by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact has to be not only repaired by the modern Germany and Russia but also compensated somehow. Too many Romanians have died because of them!
We, the Romanian people, want the body of our country restored!
They, Russians and Germans, know very well our borders! Restore them, now!
My argument is that none of you, bad boys, want two Romanian votes in the European Paliament, right? :))
PS: villas in Soci for the Tiraspol regime? Wow, what for?

2010-12-02T20:43:48.487+02:00

15% in four years... LOL don't push it Zimbru :) Even minorities count for more than that and we all know how they vote.

Altough kudos to the Gagaguz people for voting the Communists "only" up to 60%, after 80% in July last year.

2010-11-27T11:34:29.642+02:00

Corneliu,

I would be comfortable voting PLDM. They are clearly pro-European and have a talented team.

On balance, however, I think the truth will set Moldova free, and for that reason I would vote PL, in the hope that they will be roughly equal partners with the PLDM in a coalition government.
