    The Duran talks about recent events in Moldova. It is complicated.
    It sounds like a party has infiltrated the deep state (including the constitutional court) and does not want to let go. It is much more complicated than that.

    The players are pro EU Democrat party, the pro EU Acum party, and the pro Russian Party of Socialists.


    The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the crisis in Moldova, where President Igor Dodon has now overturned a decree dissolving parliament, which was instituted by the pro-EU Democratic Party.

    Following February elections, Moldova’s parliament failed to establish a ruling coalition government, and on Saturday avoided the dissolution of Parliament leading to new elections after the Party of Socialists, supporting Moldovan President Igor Dodon, agreed to govern together with the other pro-EU bloc Acum, in order to oppose the pro-EU, oligarch Democratic Party led by Vladimir Plahotniuc, which controlled the former parliament and the cabinet.

    The leader of the Party of Socialists Zinaida Greceanii was elected the parliament’s speaker, and the government was formed with Maia Sandu, who heads the Party of Action and Solidarity, a part of the Acum bloc, as prime minister. The Democratic Party refused to recognize the new government and its supporters blocked entrances to the government and the ministries.

    I thought the crisis is over.
    Aren’t they having new elections coming up?

    The crises is never over as long as the US wants to control a government and it goes against the wishes of the majority. Handing out dollar bills to get people to protest only aggravates a situation, it does not solve it.

    The NYT has an article, but is behind a paywall. The NYT seems to agree with The Duran.

    Moldova Has a New Government. The Old One Is Refusing to Leave.

    The government of Moldova is at loggerheads. Supporters of the Democratic Party outside the Interior Ministry in Chisinau on Monday.

    • June 10, 2019
    • CHISINAU, Moldova — On Friday, Natalia Gavrilita was a director at an aid group in London. On Saturday, she was unexpectedly named minister of finance in her native Moldova. On Monday, she flew home to start her new job.

    There’s just one hitch: Her predecessor won’t leave, and the police won’t let her enter her office.

    Such are the competing realities in Moldova, a small former Soviet state in southeast Europe, where two of the country’s three largest parties formed a new coalition government on Saturday in order to oust the third from power. But the latter, the Democratic Party of Moldova, has refused to leave office — leaving the country with two claimants to every ministry.

    Give her credit, she’s a fantastic propagandist. She puts Goebbels to shame. If she's not on Putin’s payroll, she ought to be.

    He/she/it...is just a troll. Can't really back anything up with links other than RT or Sputnik....wouldn't surprise me if it's a patient in some nuthouse somewhere.

    Man, you're breaking my heart--I’m believing she's this brilliant, beautiful, seductive, Russian double agent. That's the problem with reality...it never lets you keep your delusions. Though, in Janet’s defense, she’s really good at it.

    What started the mess was a video leak of pro Russian Dodon discussing the federalization of Moldova in the Russian embassy(more like taking orders than discussing). I have the video but not subbed.
    Besides well, losing the elections and not giving away the power.

    This comes after repeated visits to Russia, and in the wake of another problem:
    Having not full control of the country, Moldovan authorities considered to prepare a UN resolution for Russian troops withdrawal and Russians sent the orders thru the puppet president.
    He fled the country together with the Interior Minister.

    The problem is the Moldovans do not want it.
    There was a consistent propaganda effort since the fall of the SU against it ( they knew the threat).
    Also, those corrupt power oligarchs will lose power with a union(even might go to jail - Romania has jailed thousands of old and emerging politicians, the DNA(Direcţia Naţională Anticorupţie has a higher trust factor than the Church!)

    Third, they are not Romanians anymore. More like 50% and 50% Russian. Igor(dodon) or Vladimir(pluhotniuc) aren't romanian names. Reading those names only Maia Sandu is romanian
