Moldovan writer expects taking over fight for independence from beginning

Republic of Moldova: 25 years of Independence

Nicolae Dabija, writer, member of the first Parliament of Moldova, knight of the Order of the Republic.

MOLDPRES: After the proclamation of Independence, Moldova could follow three ways of development: independent, unionist or closely dependent on the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (most recently, the Eurasian Union). Should we start from the very beginning, what path would you choose?  

Dabija: Moldova was never been a country in history. It was just part of country. Separated from the whole and proclaiming itself as a state, it should no longer condemn the cursed past, which had detached it from the whole, creating it another destiny, but worship, praise everything which blessed it as a country: rapture, crimes against its own people, deportations, deprivation of name, language, history ... From the standpoint of logic, Moldova’s parents are Hitler and Stalin, not the MPs from 1991, who did nothing reconfirmed what the two sons of Satan had made in 1940.

Their monuments ought to be presently raised throughout Bessarabia,  and not of Stephen the Great, who did not streak, but defended the country for it to be whole, united it, he did not put borders on the Prut nor in Moldovans’ minds. The great ruler would wonder nowadays: how to break a language in two and make two languages? How to break a country into three or four and make just as many small countries? How to make a state out of injustice and be proud of it?

If in 1991 we had visionaries at the lead, people who love their Nation, and if they spoke out, in actions, for removing the consequences of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, our destiny would have been different at present: we would have been members of the EU, NATO, with European pensions and salaries (40 times higher than in the Republic of Moldova), we would have been safe from the widespread corruption, theft of the billions (from 1991 onwards – more than 30!), we would have avoided war with the Russian Federation on the Dniester, which must be called by its name: the War for the Independence of the Republic of Moldova etc.

MOLDPRES: What future do you see for Moldova?

Dabija: The Independence itself has not brought anything good to the people of Moldova: neither welfare, nor peace, nor confidence in future. In 1991, we were fooled. We are a generation of dupes.

A country can not be independent, even recognized as such by 200 countries of the world, if its residents still have a slave mentality.

The slaves, who have led us for a period of 25 years, could not make from a country of slaves, in terms of population, a truly free state, as this means independent.

I expect us to be swallowed by Putin's Eurasian Union, in order to take over our struggle for independence from the beginning. Maybe at that time, we will come to our senses and say: we can be truly independent only being together with the entire Romanian Nation and the Romanian language, without borders drawn amidst it.
