We Want Russia To Come, Say Moldova Protesters by Godszilla: 6:36am On Feb 20, 2023 |
Beneath Moldova's soaring parliament building, a parade of its most precarious file slowly past - bussed in by the thousand from across the country, each with their private tale of poverty and frustration. "We're a laughing stock - the government is mocking us," some cry. Capped in a blue woollen hat, Ala thrusts her wide pale face close to mine, and says: "There are people with four or five children who literally have nothing to eat." Energy bills here now consume more than 70% of household income, according to Moldova's president. ..... "It's very clear that Russia is an aggressor state," Rosian Vasiloi, head of Moldova's border police, told the BBC. He said the threat had existed since 24 February, when the Ukraine war began, but he emphasised that it was "different now; it's a mix of threats from inside and outside Moldova". As long as Ukraine continues to fight, and wins the war, he believes the risks for Moldova are lower. "If Ukraine falls, Moldova is next," he said. "But I'm not afraid." ......... But the view from the crowd outside that parliament on Sunday was different, and there's the risk the pressure could widen the splits in Moldova's diverse society. The risk is clear when Ala and her friends were asked whether they believe Russia wants to infiltrate Moldova, as their president fears. "Yes, let them come!" they shout. "We want them to come here. We want to be part of Russia!" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64700590 5 Likes |

GeorgWashinton:You are far from reality. Ukraine is doing forced mobilization, with inflation hitting EU. I wonder who is actually suffering. 7 Likes |
