In the ‘70s there was a succesful American movie called Bewitched. The story was based on a husband’s social fears who kept asking always worried, what surprises did his witch-wife, to whom he swore eternal love, preprared for him.

That is how those who today are stubborn enough must feel, with guilty iresponsability, to continue to vouch for the Dodon-Plahotniuc regime in Chisinau. Despite, Bucharest’s irresponsible and improbable availabity which lasts, explicitly, for more than two years, the regime in Chisinau crosses all the red lines, which some considered, in their naivete that they would never cross. We no longer talk about the obvious signs about the Plahotniuc-Dodon binomial alliance about which we at LARICS continued to write about since 2017: naming the director for ISS (Information Security Service of the Republic of Moldova) by the Parliament, joint appointments of ambassadors and judges, covering the stolen billion, joint voting a new electoral legislation despite Western warnings, revoking the elections in Chisinau, defying the EU and the US, empowering the Russian presence in R. Moldova etc.

The most recent line crossed is Vladimir Plahotniuc and Igor Dodon’s explicit and almost simultaneous declarations, the first confirming the abandonment of the Pro-European project and rhetoric and the second requesting a referendum about Transnistria. This synchronicity is obvious; the steps are mirrored. The show is finally over in Chisinau. It can now be seen, without a curtain, that what LARICS wrote for a long time about Plahotniuc-Dodon binomial’s goal is a geopolitical/strategic one. In particular, we are talking about fading the “European project” out and preparing the “patriotic” DPM coalition (Plahotniuc) – Socialist Party (Dodon) – “independent” after the parliamentary elections on 24^th of February 2019, under the perspective for “resolving” the Transnistrian issue in Russian terms, more precisely the “special statute” for Transnistria. In simple terms, the goal is to transnistrize R. Moldova and explicitly move the Russian influence at Romania’s, NATO’s and UE’s border.

Before going into a detailed discussion about the two synchronized declarations in Chisinau, part of the Binomial’s strategy that we were talking about, we remind the LARICS readers that a recent “spell” done by our “wife” from the left bank of Prut, which worked really fast, was defying the US and tacitly including the country on its list for international terrorism.

We will not insist too much because LARICS already tackled this subject. The story is about the government’s decision on 6^th of September 2018 to arrest and send to Turkey seven proffesors from the Orizont Highschool in Chisinau, one of the best schools in R. Moldova, linked to the so-called “Gullinist network”. The accusations were connected to terrorist structures. Even though the authorities had some ridiculous attempts to justify these gestures, but obviously no one was convinced, things being clear internal and external: financing through Turkey (the president’s building, the national arena and many other unpublic funds) in addition to Erdogan’s visit in Chisinau had to be compensated somehow. Chisianu joined Pristine – there are two entities in the world, except Turkey, who would support this approach – in condemning and sanctioning Gullinist terrorism (Kosovo expelled on 29^th of March 2018 six Turks who activated in the Gullinist school network). Just FYI, in Kosovo (a Mulsim entity), Turkey manages the only airport in the region, the electricity infrastructure and built two highways valued at 2 billion dollars. What’s the price in Chisinau?

Mimicking astonishment, Chisinau’s pro-European decor came forward – prime minister Filip – Minister Leanca – speaker Candu rolling thier eyes: requesting investigation committees, boards, explanations etc. As if the ISS could have acted on thier own, autonomously, giving itself political orders and acting in collaboration with the government. Obviously, a cheap stunt. Just a reminder that the ISS is not even under the president’s control, naming the institution’s director is the Parliament’s prerogative, more precisely the parliamentary majority, obviously to DPM party led by Vladimir Plahotniuc. (In fact this is the first obvious deal between Plahotniuc and Dodon, given that the latter did not even blink when becoming president, the parliament changed the legislation taking the president’s prerogative to choose the ISS director and offering it to none other than… Vladimir Plahotniuc.)

One thing is becoming clearer for everyone. If Chisinau has put the professors linked to the Orizont educational network and with Fethullah Gülen on the international terrorist list, and the leader Fethullah Gülen is still living in the US, and not extradated to Turkey, even though Anakara urges this, that means that we won’t have to wait too long until R. Moldova will put on its international terrorist list … the United States of America. This would be the immediate logic result for expulsing the “terrorist” professors.

If anyone thinks that Chisinau’s gesture did not raise a red flag in Washington, they are profoundly wrong. It is not clear if they raised one in Romania. It is beyond any doubt that actions like the Ministry of Defence from RM’s absence at the NATO Summit in Bruxelles, lack of reaction to the fact that Russian armored cars and unmarked trucks are moving freely on the Dniester’s left bank (August 2018) or the “Güllenist terrorists” expulsion from RM raises any strategic questions which had and will be asked including the Moldavian government’s consistent guarantor and partner. Meaning Bucharest.

After this preamble, very well linked with our subject, let us move on to the latest “spells” done by Chisinau.

Actually two.

Signals for the East: the governing party is no longer “pro-European” – becomes “pro-Moldova”

On 14^th September 2018, in Chisinau Moldavian Democratic Party’s (DPM – the governing party) National Political Council met. In a press release, the DPM leader Vlad Plahotniuc submitted a set of extremely suggestive amendments from a strategic standpoint. The most important change is an “action plan through which DPM to categorically define itself as a pro-Moldova party”. Not pro-European, nor pro-Western or any other geopolitical adhesion. Not with the East, nor the West. Just “pro-Moldova”!

The “arguments”: “DPM will go through some changes in reference to how it operates on a political scene. Until now, citizens got a wrong impression to be pro-European, pro-Russian etc. to move in a direction. No party has ever acted for Moldova, creating the false impression that someone from outside will take care of us… I discussed with my colleagues an action plan through which DPM will start today to define a pro-Moldova party, that will act for the citizens and the issues they are having”. Also: “We want to make sure that DPM will act in the name of the people. The whole DPM team will work to collect proposals from citizens from all the countries’ districts”, said Vlad Plahotniuc. “The Government will adapt to the population’s needs. DPM will come up with a set of proposals and projects as a result of consulting with the people living across the country”.

If the situation was not serious, it would make for a good laugh:

DPM starts to “consult with the people”, says Vladimir Plaho
