Tkaciuk: Politicians Prefer not to Discuss the Real Problems of Moldova

Member of the Executive Committee of the Civil Congress party, MP candidate Mark Tkaciuk believes that "politicians prefer not to discuss the real problems of Moldova." He stated this on Friday on the air of Novoye Radio, infotag.md reports. "By 2025, Moldova is in danger of becoming an absolute bankrupt, but most politicians prefer not to discuss this. The saddest thing is that the problems that are really fundamental for the Republic of Moldova are not discussed at all. First of all, they are not discussed by politicians. All sorts of stuff are being discussed - the foreign policy vector, the lack of an investment climate, a bad judicial system. And nothing more," the politician said. In his opinion, the political class does not pay any attention to the problem of 2025. "In 2025, two tendencies will converge in the form of a black cross for Moldova, when the number of employed in our country will equal the number of pensioners. In 2025, the Republic of Moldova may become an absolute and complete socio-economic bankrupt. And the deputies and ministers will mainly deal with the distribution of humanitarian aid which will be dropped from the planes by donor countries representatives. And there is no other way out, because no one is paying attention to this problem so far," Tkaciuk notes. He points to some trends in support of such a scenario: in just seven months of 2021, 52 thousand economically active population have left Moldova, "total poverty among the elderly, most of whom receive a pension below the subsistence level." "It turns out that we are accustomed to the fact that 700 thousand of our elderly citizens are actually dying before our eyes. In the meantime, bravura speeches are voiced about raising pensions to 2 thousand lei, up to the very subsistence level that cannot afford to ensure minimum sanitary standards," Tkaciuk says. He noted that while the house is on fire in Moldova, politicians are "googling how to extinguish it, what partners are better to attract - European or Eurasian." Tkaciuk stressed that now there is no time for discussion, an "urgent resuscitation is needed, primarily to save two categories of citizens - the elderly and children."
