Maia Sandu's official visit to Kiev continues to generate a keen interest in society. Experts and politicians give different assessments. Some even describe it as a PR move, which Stella Jantuan, Moldovan parliament's ex-deputy, disagrees with. "For the first time in the past 5 years, the leader of our country has visited neighboring Ukraine. Igor Dodon was denied entry due to his Crimea position. And the visit is significant, we are regional partners. Sandu's agenda was busy. A strategic dialogue is needed. An array of accumulated problems needs to be urgently resolved," said Jantuan, enews.md reports. She added that it was right for the president not to go straight to Brussels, one of our major partners. Preparations for this visit are under way. "The EU always helps us financially, we have to clarify the relationship with the IMF. Ion Chicu promised to sign the Memorandum, but failed. And our budget turned out to be in a large deficit. As for Sandu, she is doing everything right so far. She shows herself as a balanced and prudent politician. I think she will go to Russia too. The Russian side has also changed their attitude towards Moldova," Jantuan said. The ex-deputy is disappointed by violent passions in parliament. "There is a fight for the government and a search for a form for early parliamentary elections. According to the Constitution, the President, following consultations with the factions, must propose the Cabinet's composition. And then, 67 deputy votes are needed in parliament. But neither the right nor the left has this number. Dodon, Sor and several other deputies have a formal majority, although it is not officially registered. They will manipulate and impede Maia Sandu's initiatives. And the outrages in power structures will drag on," Jantuan summed up.
