Dodon: Goncharenko Escaped from Russia, He Has Big Problems There

President Igor Dodon claims that the story of Nathaniel Rothschild’s refusal to deal with Chisinau Airport is just a distraction, and Ilan Shor continues to control this company. The statements were made by the head of state on the air of the program “Puterea a patra” (“The Fourth Force”) on the N4 TV channel, noi.md reports with a link to unimedia.info “The airport is the property of the state. In 2013, in violating the law, the Leanca government, a member of which was Maya Sandu, transferred the right to disposal to Ilan Shor. We must cancel these agreements,” Igor Dodon said. According to the resident of the country, during the period of power of the democrats, when the PDM was headed by Vladimir Plahotniuc, the business used to be even more profitable. “While Plahotniuc, things went like clockwork. After the change of government, we began the process of canceling the concession. All assets were blocked so that they could not do anything. And they began to sell this “right” (that is, Avia Invest) to one another, Igor Dodon”said. “In July-August, they thought that if the Maya Sandu government is more American, more pro-European, then they should sell the company to Rothschild, because Rothschild is a European. Let's sell it to them, they decided, because he has the guarantee of the Americans that with Maya everyone will be okey-dokey. Rothschild came to Chisinau, met with Maya Sandu and Brynzan, and they told him that everything would be all right. And Rothschild entered into this right. When the Chicu government came, Rothschild realized that such games would not work with him because Chicu and Dodon announced that they would cancel the contract and a more serious cancellation procedure began. Moreover, given the fact that there is a monopoly in Chisinau, and they earn money on tickets at a very high price, the Chicu government decided to open another airport. And in this case, they will not be able to rip off the skin from Moldovans. And when Rothschild realized that the matter was bad, he told Shore to take airport back. They canceled the deal with Rothschild, and the airport returned to Shore. And in order to create a scandal, they thought: let's say that the Russians have come. And there it is, an already common game of some democrat MPs along with Maya Sandu. The whole last week attack in the press was directed against me,” added Igor Dodon. The President also says that all these maneuvers began after the authorities announced their intention to open an airport in Marculesti, which would demonopolize this economic segment and bring competitors to the domestic market. Moreover, the head of state claims that the new owner, who doesn’t seem officially entered into his rights, the Russian Andrei Goncharenko, has problems in the Russian Federation, including Gazprom, so he ran away from there: “Goncharenko came and asked for Moldovan citizenship through investments, when Plahotniuc was still here.”
