Chicu on the Russian Loan: We Do Not Give Up

Prime Minister Ion Chicu is optimistic about the loan from Russia possibility that sparked a major political scandal this summer. Chicu accused the deputies who, according to him interfere with the government, “doing so that it has no opportunity to act,” stiri.md reported. “It is foreseen in the 2020 budget. So, we do not give up, we have notified the Russian side, let's see what they say, but there is no money until the agreement is signed. And there is less and less time left, after signing the agreement, we must go to parliament again, and there you yourself know what is it going to happen. You saw in April that it is important for them to cut everything off for the government, doing just so that there is no opportunity to work. It is not excluded that there will be such a scenario now as well, so I am already a little skeptical about this,” the Prime Minister said in an interview for Europa Libera. Chicu expressed as well hope that after a series of talks with Russian Prime Minister Mishustin, an agreement could still be signed.
