United Nations in the Republic of Moldova UN Moldova Monthly Bulletin - March 2021 | 5 1.1 Restrictions* *These are subject to changes and amendment and should be viewed as an overview and not as a definitive source for decision making. • A State of Emergency is declared by Parliament for 60 days (April 1- May 30). The law that defines the State of Emergency is here. • The first meeting of the Commission for Exceptional Situations, chaired by the Prime Minister ai., after the declaration of the State of Emergency occurred on April 1st. The Commission instituted a series of restrictions, i.e. a special regime for circulation of persons (circulation outside residence is banned between 23.00h-5.00h with some exceptions), a special working regime, i.e. enterprises need to ensure that only up to 30% of staff attends the offices, with some exceptions, all mass gatherings are banned, all state planned controls are postponed until after May 30 and others. The full list of restrictions taken can be found here in Decision No 1. 2 General situation update • As the statistics above show, March 2021 had the worst epidemiological trends for any month since the pandemic began. • Vaccination against COVID19 started March 2nd with vaccination of frontline workers in intensive care units in the first phase. As of 29 March, 37,070 workers from health care facilities and beneficiaries of the placement centers for elderly were vaccinated. • On March 4th Moldova was the recipient of the first COVAX deliveries into Europe with a further COVAX shipment arriving on March 19th. • March 7th was the one-year anniversary of the first COVID-19 case in the Republic of Moldova. 2.1 Political update • As decreed by the Constitutional Court, the President moved forward with consultations with each of the political parties for a second time, after the no confidence vote of her first proposed candidate. During these consultations, the candidate that had been put forward by the informal coalition of the Socialist Party and For Moldova Platform, Mariana Durlesteanu, withdrew her candidacy, which left them without a proposed candidate. Following the consultations, the President nominated the head of PAS, Igor Grosu, as her new candidate for Prime Minister. The Socialists answered her nomination with a promise to challenge his candidacy in the Constitutional Court. They also proposed a new candidate, the current ambassador to Russia, Vladimir Golovatiuc, for consideration. • On March 22, the Constitutional Court recognized the constitutional decree of President Maia Sandu on the appointment of Igor Grosu as a candidate for prime minister. The President of the Constitutional Court noted that the Constitution allows the president to nominate her own candidate if there is no formal majority in parliament to put forward a candidate. She further explained that the informal majority (Socialists and For Moldova platform) that had been formed to put forward Mariana Durlesteanu, ceased to exist when she withdrew her candidacy, and they had failed to properly declare itself as a formal majority ahead of nominating a new candidate. Thus, President Sandu’s candidate was the only candidate that was nominated according to the Constitution. • However, on the day that Grosu’s candidacy was to be discussed in Parliament, the Socialist Party and For Moldova Platform left the floor, creating a situation where there was no quorum for the vote. Subsequent to this action, the President submitted a request to the Constitutional Court to consider that all the United Nations in the Republic of Moldova UN Moldova Monthly Bulletin - March 2021 | 6 conditions had been met for early elections to be called. The Constitutional Court is currently reviewing the request and is expected to make a ruling later this week or early next week. • In a somewhat related occurrence, the Government has asked the Parliament to consider declaring a state of emergency. The state of emergency would strengthen measures and restrictions to address the COVID- 19 crisis, including postponing the organization of any elections during the state of emergency period. 2.2 Economic and social update • On March 25, the UN Moldova presented the Country Common Analysis which provides an in-depth analysis of the country’s socio-economic development and political context, along with critical challenges and their root causes. This analysis serves as a basis for priority setting within the UN and feeds into resource mobilization, development of cooperation partnerships, as well as projects' technical design contributing to sustainable development of the country. • According to the NBS, annual inflation in February almost tripled reaching 0.62%. The increase in consumers’ prices was pooled by the food prices (+1,80%) and by the non-food prices (1.15%) while services rendered to population maintained overall downward trend (-1.89%). • The NBS data reveal that the GDP contracted by 7% (in gross series) in 2020 being heavily affected by the drought and consequently more leading to more severe consequences than in the neighboring Romania and Ukraine where GDP dropped by 3.9% and .

  • Moldova Under Lucinschi
    Moldova under Lucinschi PAUL D. QUINLAN uring the Soviet period Moldova was commonly referred to as "sunny D Moldova." Unfortunately, today the country's economic situation is anything but sunny. Moldova has the ignominious distinction of being one of the three poorest states in Europe. Since declaring independence in 1991 , Moldova has had the largest fall in gross domestic product and living standard of any former social- ist state in Europe. The GDP is a mere 30 percent of what it was in 1990. The average monthly nominal wage was a pitiful 405 le¡ (singular leu), or U.S.$32, as of the middle of 2000 . Moldova also has been plagued by myriad political problems as it struggles to make the transition from communism to democracy and a market economy. Although politically the country has made significant progress in establishing functioning democratic institutions , other problems, especially its dire economic situation, are taking their toll on its young democrat- ic political system and have raised concern about Moldova 's existence as an inde- pendent state . In this article , 1 take a brief look at the overwhelming economic, political, and other problems that Moldova faced from the parliamentary elections of March 1998 to those of February 2001, in an effort to understand why Moldo- va has now turned back to the Communist Party for leadership. The March 1998 Parliamentary Elections and the Second Ciubuc Government President Petru Lucinschi's chances of carrying out important reforms were hin- dered from the start by the scheduling of parliamentary elections for early 1998. This also relegated Prime Minister Ion Ciubuc's cabinet to a caretaker role.

  • Moldova, Into a Campaign to Discredit the Political Opposition As Well As Some Civil Society Representatives
    The government led its affiliated media outlets, such as the public broadcaster Teleradio Moldova, into a campaign to discredit the political opposition as well as some civil society representatives. The government accused NGOs and members of the Civic Coalition for Free and Fair Elections 2009 of involvement in the protests. MoldovA 170 MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2010 INTRODUCTION OVERALL SCORE: 1.61 M Political complexities dominated Moldova’s media scene in 2009, and the worldwide financial crisis also affected the media. For the first seven months, elections were the focus, and the results of the April 5 parliamentary vote raised serious questions. The governing Communist Party (PCRM) gained 60 out of 101 seats, and the political oldo Popposition (including the Liberal Party [LP], the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova [PLDM], and Our Moldova Alliance [AMN]) won the remaining 40 seats. The parliamentary opposition did not recognize the results. On April 6, young people organized a silent march, holding candles that symbolized “the death of democracy” in Moldova. Tens of thousands of youth spontaneously gathered the next day, but due to the interference of provocateurs, the protest turned violent, with vandalizing of the parliamentary and presidential buildings. More v than 50 police officers were injured, and hundreds of young people were detained; some alleged torture. At least one young person died. The Communist Party leader, vladimir voronin, accused the opposition of attempting a A coup, and suggested that Romania and Serbia were involved. The government led its affiliated media outlets, such as the public broadcaster Teleradio Moldova, into a campaign to discredit the political opposition as well as some civil society representatives.

  • Cross-Border Mobility and Sense of Europe: Narratives of Moldavian Returned Immigrants
    RETURN FOR DEVELOPMENT AND EUROPEANIZATION AMONG MOLDAVIAN IMMIGRANTS Silvia Marcu Instituto de Economía, Geografía y Demografía Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas Madrid, Spain [email protected] Abstract This chapter links migration, cross-mobility and return for development, in terms of approach to Europeanization. Taking into account the global changes in Moldova, the paper examines the perceptions of migration/mobility, return and identity of the Moldovans engaged in emigration in the countries of the European Union (EU). Using a multi-discipline approach and an in-depth qualitative interview technique, this chapter analyzes from a transnational perspective how migration/mobility and return can support social change and development in Moldova, and argues that people who cross EU borders, and who live through the experience of emigration, acquire a pro-European mentality. Key Words: Mobility, border, identity, Moldova, Immigrants, European Union Introduction This chapter discusses the influence of migration, cross-border mobility and return for development on the reconfiguration of the identity of those who emigrate, while taking into account the already complex Moldovan identity. Using a multi-discipline approach and an in- depth qualitative interview technique, the paper aims to contribute to the literature by studying 1 immigrants’ perceptions about their cross-border mobility and their return from a transnational perspective. The paper argues that since cross-border mobility and transnationalism are fundamental concepts (Faist 2010), this necessarily also entails examining the whole cross-border mobility/identity/transnationalism/return nexus; how being in possession of the citizenship of an EU country favours the practice of mobility and return for development, which in turn influences transnational practices.
