Candu: The Airport is Under Russia’s Influence

Democrat Andrian Candu regrets that the company of billionaire Nathan Rothschild NR Investments Ltd decided to abandon the purchase of a 95% stake in Avia Invest SRL, which took over the Chisinau International Airport concession. According to him, Moldova missed the opportunity to attract large Western investments, and “the airport itself fell under Russia’s influence,” realitatea.md reports. According to Candu, Chisinau Airport could become a regional or even international aviation hub. “Our country has lost this opportunity, not only because of the persecution, instability and state inability to protect investments, but also because of the naivete or voluntary intentions of the pro-Europeans who came to power in June, and also because of other tasks related to the state security,” Candu wrote. At the same time, he noted with regret that “the Republic of Moldova is strengthening its position in the gray zone. Candu believes that, as a result, the country will not know development and evolution.
