Romanian support for new government neccessary in Moldova

A few days ago the pro-Western Alliance for European Integration consisting of four Liberals took office in the Republic of Moldova. Romania ought to support this government, the daily Evenimentul Zilei writes: "It's good that the opposition [in the Republic of Moldova] has won but the politicians in Bucharest are either keeping very quiet or driven by other political passions. What remains of the government in Bucharest should know that in the event that the Alliance government in Chişinău fails they can forget about the reunification [of the Republic of Moldova with Romania in the coming decades]. … The EU won't help out forever, and the Russians are waiting just around the corner with their hands on the gas and petroleum taps. A withdrawal of the Alliance [from government] would inevitably lead to the glorious return of the Communists. … Without doubt, the government in Chişinău has no breathtaking solutions. What makes it exceptional is its rapprochement to the EU and Romania. … Bucharest has the obligation to do something."
