The winner of the presidential election, the leader of the pro-European opposition and former Prime Minister Maia Sandu introduced taking Moldova out of external “isolation” in the list of immediate priorities of her term. Right after the win, Sandu met with the ambassadors of Romania, France or the USA in Chisinau. She held telephone conversations with the leaders of EU member states and the neighboring countries, as well as with the representatives of European institutions, before her actual inauguration in the office. She presented all these steps as the beginning of the exit from “coma” for the Moldovan foreign policy. The interpretation…

The geopolitical rhetoric is extremely visible in the Republic of Moldova. In the case of the presidential elections, this aspect is more conspicuous because there is only one candidate who is the focus of attention rather than the party or the multitude of people who represent this party, said IPN’s senior contributor Dionis Cenușa, a political scientist, researcher at the Institute of Political Sciences at Liebig-Justus University in Giessen. In the public debate „Presidential elections in the diaspora and geopolitics”, which was staged by IPN News Agency, Dionis Cenușa said we now have candidates who, according to the so-called notion of multi-vector foreign policy, prefer to…

Author: Victor Pelin “But before seeing what happens in the Eurasian Economic Union member states, we should clarify what we have here, in the Republic of Moldova – lackeys or sons of a bitch?” Charm of ordinary propagandists In our gloomy realities, we are lucky to have run-of-the-mill propagandists  who, by their activities, make us laugh and cheer up. One of these, who says that he is a superior teacher at the State Teacher-Training University “Ion Creangă”, the Philosophical and Socioeconomic Sciences Department, delights us by his public performance. But the joy turns into sadness when we think what can happen to the students who…

Author: Dions Cenușa The spread of instability in the eastern neighborhood of the European Union (EU) imposes on it the responsibilities of a geopolitical firefighter, who, however, does not have adequate equipment or authority. The mission of crisis management is complicated by several conditions. On the one hand, crises tend to synchronize and therefore require the potential for a concomitant reaction. However, the destabilizing political situation in Belarus overlaps with the complete unfreezing of the conflict around Nagorno Karabakh. The genealogical features of these crises, on the other hand, drastically reduce the real ability of the European institutions to locate quick and…

The presidential election in November 2020, creates multiple “windows of opportunity” for Moldovan democracy. First of all, there is a real chance that a woman may take the reins of the presidency, thus stimulating the uninhibited participation of women in local politics. The second essential moment can be the registration of the first victory, following the popular vote, of a candidate with political views dominated by an irrevocable pro-Western affiliation. Last but not least, the opportunity arises to launch and pedal radical reforms on behalf of the president, for at least 4 years, provided the robust support from parliament and the executive.…

Author: Dionis Cenuşa The regularity of the peaceful protests engages the Belarusian population in a synergy of democratizing the “social contract” with the state. The aggressive pressures continuously applied by the authorities – sequestrations, arrests, criminal investigations, political cases – produce the opposite effect of intimidating and stopping the democratic revolution, respectively (IPN, August 28, 2020). In addition to the perpetuation of the protests, they spread across new age categories, due to the involvement of youth and overall younger social strata – students and pupils. Attempts by the protest movement, led by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya – who embodies the essence of…

Author: Dionis Cenușa The concept of “revolution” is missing from the vocabulary of political and civic forces, involved in post-election protests in Belarus. Abstaining from the term “revolution” denotes, on one hand, the caution of protecting the peaceful essence of the protests in Belarus. But, on the other hand, the intention persists in differentiating the Belarusian situation from other political transformations in the Eastern Partnership, in particular, those related to the Ukrainian “Euromaidan”. The Belarusian protesters want to chart their own path, which will ensure not only the democratization of the country but also the preservation of sovereignty and territorial…
