Romania does not bombard levees in Moldova and does not send its wolves over the Prut, Marius Lazurca

The politicians and political parties in Moldova that make a ‘scarecrow’ of Romania profit from its fame in order to obtain free publicity, face a continuous shortage of useful ideas, promote racism and ethnic discrimination, Romanian Ambassador in Chisinau Marius Lazurca told Info-Prim Neo in an interview [{that was published on November 29, 2011,}]. The question formulated by the Agency was “What can you say about what some of the Moldovan political parties named “illegal, massive and organized migration of the Roma from Romania to Moldova”? Why do they accuse the EU rather than Romania of this?”. ” I apologize, but your question made me remember the fable {the Fly} written by the Bessarabian Alecu Donici. It became a hurting tradition that the parties, which are mostly invisible or facing a continuous shortage of useful ideas, periodically attack Romania and accuse it of either bombarding the levee in Nemteni or sending its wolves over the Prut and other extraordinary things. All these are awkward attempts to profit from Romania’s fame in order to obtain free publicity. As to the “illegal, massive and organized migration of the Roma”, the raising of this theme is a proof of racism and a call to ethnic discrimination. In Europe, any politician who would resort to such kind of propaganda would be discredited for good,” said Marius Lazurca. He stated some of the politicians may have the courage to admit that the only way to make themselves known is to invent polemics with Romania. “I said it and will reiterate that Romania does not want to be regarded as a factor of the dynamic of the internal policy in Moldova. The Moldovan parties have at hand enough topics that are really relevant for the people. It is not the case to create artificial themes by invoking the ‘Romanian danger’. The paradox is that those who make Romania a perpetual campaign theme accuse us of being too present in Moldova’s internal policy. I think this is a rudimentary political method. In Europe for example, it will cause only stupor,” said the Romanian Ambassador.
