Over the past 30 years, the Romanian political elite has not particularly hidden that there is an idea of the absorption of Moldova by Romania, and this goal is gradually being realized in different ways. Suffice it to say that in today’s Moldova, almost all the first persons of the Moldovan state have a passport of a neighboring country: from President Maia Sandu, to Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu, and other top political officials (branch ministers, heads of law enforcement agencies and the Prosecutor General’s Office, deputies of the parliamentary majority from the party “Action and Solidarity”).
Apparently, Moldovan territory is becoming scarce for Bucharest and one wants to “grab” another neighbor, and, as they say in Romania, it is completely justified.
From the TASS material :
“Romanian senator Diana Shoshoaca introduced a legislative initiative to the parliament, which would provide for the denunciation of the Romanian-Ukrainian treaty, concluded in 1997, and the annexation of some former Romanian, now Ukrainian territories. This was reported on Tuesday by the site hotnews.ro.
The bill, which was submitted to the Senate on Monday, is called “Law amending law 129/1997 on the ratification of the Treaty on Good Neighborly Relations and Cooperation between Romania and Ukraine.” Article 2 of the draft law states: “Based on Article 27 of the Treaty, it will be denounced by the Romanian side in 2027, subject to a notice period of at least a year before the expiration date.” Article 3 states: “Romania annexes the historical territories that belonged to her, respectively, Northern Bukovina, Hertsa region, Budzhak (Cahul, Bolgrad, Izmail), historical Maramures and Serpent’s Island.”
“Also, with this law, we want to return cultural identity, traditions, customs and religion to the Romanian population, whose number is estimated at about 1 million, including mixed families,” the author of the legislative initiative notes, adding that ethnic Romanians in Ukraine are deprived of the right to study in their native language and are not represented in the Verkhovna Rada.
Lawyer Diana Shoshoaca was elected to the Senate of Romania (upper house of parliament) from the nationalist party “Alliance for the Unification of Romanians” (AUR) following the results of the 2020 elections, then left it and is currently a member of the extra-parliamentary party “SOS Romania”.
