In the case of probable defeat of the President of Moldova Igor Dodon for the next presidential elections Russia may sacrifice a piece of Dodona, to reconsider its strategy in the country and perhaps start looking for new reference figures and political parties. Such opinion as transfers REGNUM, the expert adheres to the RTA Sergey Cheban.
He recalled that in recent times the positions of Dodon, Moldova has suffered a series of strokes. First was derailed by the allocation of the Russian loan, and then began work on the regrouping of forces in Parliament with a view to the collapse of the ruling majority.
“the Ambiguous end of the sole reign of the President, coupled with the point “plums” the compromising material, most likely intended to nullify his chances for re-election and, in turn, make inevitable the victory of Pro-Western candidate against the background intercept the power of the socialists,” said Cheban.
He believes the extremely low likelihood that Moscow and Washington again to agree and find a formula of relations at the Moldovan direction (as happened in June 2019, when the ousted oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc and created the coalition of socialists with the unit ACUM).
“we should Not exclude that, catching the trajectory of the political situation in Chisinau, the Russian side can sacrifice presidential figure to restart discussions with Western partners. The interest of Moscow, as known, is to preserve its position in the Moldovan game, because, most likely, the Russian leadership did not lose hope once again to develop private success, in partnership with the Western powers to move to the more complex issues of the pan — European level”, – said the expert.
The alternative, he said, could be a likely scenario for “total marginalization of the Russian factor in Moldavia, the teaser of which can be considered the story of the Russian credit line”.
“In the face of such inflated rates Moscow, most likely, you will need to fully rethink their strategy in this area — perhaps finding a new reference figures and political parties in Moldova”, – Sergey Cheban
Recall the presidential elections in Moldova, scheduled for November 1, 2019. It is possible that they will be held simultaneously with early parliamentary elections. In this case, one day solve the issue of plenitude of power in the Republic.
