Communism science-fiction: Moldavians, a ethnic minority in Romania
Topic: News (Feb 27, 2007)
Some time ago, three people established what they called “the Community of Moldovans in Romaniaâ€. This weekend, their organization was brought to light by no other than Vladimir Voronin, the President of the Moldovan Republic, who in an interview for a press agency demanded rights for the “Moldovan minority†in Romania, which he claims numbers some 10 million people.
In an interview or the Moldpres state agency last weekend the Moldovan Republic’s pro-Russia Communist leader Vladimir Voronin relaunched the claims – long linked to Kremlin policy labs – that the Moldovan people is different from Romanians.
But he went further than before this time as he said Romania numbered some 10 million “ethnic Moldovans†whose rights as a minority are not recognized at all.
“Unfortunately in Romania the list of allowed ethnic groups is strictly limited, all possible national minorities are named in its legislation. Moldovans are not included among them. And this, as long as I understand, is the main obstacle for legalizing Moldovans and their culture in Romania todayâ€, Voronin said.
And he spoke of the courage of those who established the Community of Moldovans in Romania, an association that became operational in January this year when it was approved by a court in Iasi, NE Romania. While Iasi prosecutors appealed against the court decision, the three Romanian citizens who established the association were welcomed in the Parliament in Chisinau (communist majority), Moldovan Republic as heroes last weekend.

Poor guy Voronin ! He is just an idiot trying to get something from Romania’s entry in EU. Sorry to say but Moldavia is not only the poorest country in Europe but the most corrupt one, so Comrade Voronin would want to take care of his own country (which is actually one of romanian historical provinces) instead of coming up with these silly things.

Republic of Moldova it is an invetion of the KGB in 1940.This country is nothing else than a former historichal province of Romania called – Basarabia.
Voronin is a russian who learned to speak romanian and now they call this language -Moldavian.- Dear russian idiots a country can exist whithout having a national language. Look at Belgium,Switzerland, etc – thay don’t speak belgian or swiss language.
The russians tried very hard to invent this country – Rep.of Moldova – and they continue now the KGB politics by trying to convince the country population that they speak a different language than Romanian.
Face it – you speak Romanian with a horible russian accent.
