Foreign Minister Cristian Diaconescu told a press conference on March 29 that Chisinau authorities did not formally explain the situation at the Romania-Moldova border. Even more, he asked Moldovan authorities to stop abuses against Romanians. “We are disappointed with Chisinau authorities, as their actions reveal the lack of a real European commitment. The EU has stressed that the pace and quality of reforms in Moldova will influence the relations with Brussels institutions.” At least 245 Romanians were obstructed to enter the Republic of Moldova in the last four days. The Foreign Ministry has sent several notifications to the Chisinau authorities. The Romanian passport is the only document needed by Romanians to enter the Republic of Moldova, Diaconescu noted. However, Moldovan customs officers asked Romanians the last days to provide invitations legalised by a notary or health insurance. Even more, six Romanians were told that they could not cross the border because they did not have the HIV test. A journalist was invited to take the test on-the-spot, if he wanted to enter the Republic of Moldova. (Source: Realitatea TV/ Unimedia portal)

The MAE march covered the itinerary Calea Iesilor — Stefan cel Mare — Vlaicu Parcalab and ended with a meeting in the conference hall of Leogrand Hotel. Protestors who arrived from all areas of Moldova shouted slogans against corrupt communist regime such as “Corruption Go Away from the Country!”, “Down with PCRM!”; “Down with Corrupts!”, “Expel Us, Too!”. MAE chairman Anatol Petrencu spoke out about ongoing anti-corruption fight. The corruption is to blame for abuses and all evil in Moldova, while the communists have raised the corruption to the level of state policy. The corruption is an internal organ like liver for the communists and their acolytes. In her turn, MAE candidate Vitalia Pavlicenco stressed the MAE fight against corruption and communism: “MAE is the party which assumed an open war against corruption. The corruption brought Moldova to poverty. We, the MAE, have succeeded to coagulate the force of 5 democratic parties which joined the National Pact Against Corruption.” (Source: MAE press release)
