Moldova is the poorest country in
Europe. It’s crammed between two far larger nations, Romania to its west
and Ukraine on its eastern border. As a result, it is often compared to
‘a hamburger’.
This ex-Soviet republic in
southeastern Europe is hardly known by non-Eastern Europe watchers, and
yet when there is any news about it in the Western media, it is almost
always negative, covering issues such as human trafficking, theft and
poverty, which affects more than 3 million Moldovan citizens.
In the 30 years since the collapse of
the Soviet Union, the West has invested more than €2 billion into this
country, which is second only to Tajikistan in terms of poverty amongst
the 15 former Soviet republics.
The United States and European Union
have been the most important donors, with both willing to help Moldova
make the transition from Communism to a free market. In 2014, the
European Union signed the Association Agreement with Moldova, fueling
the hopes of Moldovans that one day they will also become members of the
European Union. Although there is no clear prospect of EU membership
for Moldova, about 900,000 Moldovans have already become citizens of the
EU after obtaining passports as nationals of Romania and Bulgaria, both
of which are members of the European Union.
Despite being the poorest country in
Europe, with 25% of its territory under the control of pro-Soviet
separatists in the Transnistria region, and with a geographical location
without any significant geopolitical role, this country has recently
become a new area of interest for the West. We came into possession of
several secret documents from the special services of an EU member,
showing that the West is investing about €56 million to make sure the
main pro-Euro-Atlantic party in Moldova – the Action and Solidarity
Party (”Partidul Acțiune și Solidaritate” – PAS), one of the members of
which is the new president of Moldova, Maia Sandu, wins in the early
parliamentary elections to be held on July 11.
It took us several weeks to verify
the documents. We also received confirmation from an independent source
in the secret services of our country, but also from some local
politicians, who spoke about the reasons for this massive, sometimes
very open support. Moldova’s role has grown recently after the outbreak
of war in eastern Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. The West
wants to permanently remove this country from Russia’s sphere of
influence.
According to the secret documents we
received, most of the money comes from two countries: Germany and the
US. Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, the United Kingdom and
Italy are also actively involved in the funding. There are several
instruments used for this purpose, including:
1. Funding provided through non-governmental foundations;
2. Funding provided within the same political family;
3. Funding through government projects, both formal and informal;
4. Private companies. Most of the
money out of this amount of almost €56 million is used through “grey
schemes”, in which “cash” plays a dominant role, a practice the West
usually tries to fight against.
The main coordinator of the “support
for Moldova’s Euro-Atlantic future” operation is Germany. Berlin is
actively involved in supporting the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu and
PAS both politically, financially and logistically, using several
instruments. Sandu has recently paid a pompous visit to Berlin, where
she was received by the German President Frank-Walter Steimmeier and
other high officials. The video conference discussion Sandu had with the
German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her visit to Berlin was a bit
strange.
Angela Merkel and her Christian
Democratic Union Party are among the strongest supporters of Maia Sandu
and PAS. The strong voice of Germany’s Christian Democratic Union in the
European People’s Party has provided massive political support from the
largest political group in the European Parliament for Sandu’s party,
which has been welcomed into this large family. According to our
sources, the human, logistical and financial resources of the Christian
Democratic Union helped the exemplary mobilization of Moldovan citizens
living in Germany to participate in the last autumn’s presidential
elections and to vote for Sandu.
Moldovans in the Western diaspora,
estimated at nearly 800,000 people, are the golden resource the West
will use in the coming early parliamentary elections to ensure the
victory of Sandu’s party and the anchoring of Moldova in the
Euro-Atlantic space.
According to the secret documents,
the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation, which has an office in Moldova,
plays an important role in supporting Sandu and PAS. This foundation
actively cooperates with the secret services in Berlin and is the
official bridge in the relations with the presidency of Moldova. An
official collaboration agreement has been signed between the Moldovan
Presidency and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, based on which the German
state finances a group of people who work for Sandu. According to our
information, about 15 people, nationals of Moldova, receive a monthly
salary ranging between €2000 and €4500.
Another foundation indirectly funding
PAS is the European Endowment for Democracy, which supports several
projects in Moldova. Soros Foundation, USAID, IREX, IND, IRI, etc. also
play important roles.
The plan to support PAS in the July
11 early parliamentary elections contains a number of actions to be
implemented both within the territory of Moldova and in a number of
Western countries, including the US and Canada. Hereinafter we will name
just a few actions mentioned in the secret documents, as well as the
fabulous budgets granted to this small country.
Over €6.74 million were paid to PAS
directly. Just a small part of this amount was paid semi-officially,
through Moldovan citizens living abroad, who made donations of money to
the party on their own behalf. Most of the money was introduced into
Moldova as cash. According to the reports, uncontrolled diplomatic
luggage was used for this purpose. This money was intended for: 1.
Prints (newspapers, election flyers); 2. Visibility materials (t-shirts,
caps, flags, bags, writing blocks, pens, etc.). 3. Remuneration of
central staff and volunteers. 4. Remuneration of election observers and
members of election bureaus, delegated by PAS.
A significant amount, €8.38 million,
was budgeted for “support to friendly parties”. Although the names of
these “friendly parties” are not specified in the reports, they are
referred to as “three pro-European and two center-left, pro-Russian
parties”. The role assigned to these “friendly parties” is to attack the
pro-Russian forces, but also other competitors, the “potential
opponents of PAS”.
Another budget line in the documents
refers to an amount of €810,000 for “loyalty incentives for public
service employees from Moldova”. In addition, €470,000 are budgeted for
“attracting mayors” (heads of local communities). Local “influencers”
must be attracted to support PAS (7 people from Moldova and 4 more
Moldovans living abroad – the total budget for this is €73,400, money
provided for remuneration and sponsored promotion of products).
Another category of expenses –
€338,000 are for “concerts and celebrities/artists”. Several concerts
are planned to be organized in Moldova under the civic umbrella of
“urging to vote”, but the goal is to mobilize people to vote for PAS.
Likewise, several celebrities will express their open support for PAS
(charges ranging between €5,000 and €15,000). A generous budget is also
provided for “Professional Associations” (farmers, small and medium
entrepreneurs, HoReCa, IT sector, etc.) – €539,500.
“Task force”, a section with no
details, other than the figure of €320,000. Another budget line
referring to the financing, but for which no details are provided, is
“Sources”, for which €35,000 are planned.
A significant figure is allocated to
the “media” component – €4.3 million. According to our sources, most of
the money for the media is transferred legally, using various type of
coverage, such as promoting press freedom, supporting free media in
elections, promoting the right to vote, etc. The budgets prepared for
other projects were redirected for this purpose, but their destination
was changed in the spring, in order to motivate the press in support of
PAS. Separately, a budget of €230,000 is allocated for the
“international media”.
For this purpose, €1.45 million are
budgeted for Moldovan NGOs. The same category includes money for “group
of experts, analysts, etc.”
€120,000 are budgeted for “trolling
and social media campaigning (Facebook, Instagram, Odnoklassniki (a
social media network popular in the post-Soviet area), Tik tok)”. Our
sources told us that people outside of Moldova, especially Romania (the
two speak the same language), Ukraine, and Belarus, are also involved in
this activity.
Compared to other activities, a
rather modest amount is provided for “Telegram Channels” – €20,000. A
little more – €58,500, are budgeted for “Caricature Production”.
Instead, a significant amount of over
€35 million has been budgeted for “Voting Abroad”. According to the
documents, the purpose of this money is to get at least 300,000 Moldovan
citizens to vote in the Western countries, of which at least two-thirds
will vote for PAS.
The secret reports also describe the
process of how Moldovans will be mobilized to vote, how they will be
transported to the polling stations, who is responsible, approximately
how many transport units will be involved, but also how the vote will be
verified. Another interesting category is “Honorarium for some members
of the polling stations abroad” for which €65,000 are budgeted.
To this end, parties from the
European People’s family from several European countries are mobilized
to provide all the necessary logistical support and organized
transportation. Law enforcement bodies in Western countries are
instructed not to hinder the movement and voting of Moldovans, including
those who are staying illegally on their territory (a considerable
percentage).
On the contrary, they are instructed
to provide, together with local administration authorities, secured
parking spaces. From the same secret documents, we learn about the
instructions issued about the need to identify as many transport
companies in Western countries as possible, companies belonging to
Moldovan citizens, in order to avoid possible allegations about the
involvement of the host states in the organization of illegal
transportation for elections.
Most transport units are planned to
be rented in Italy (over 350), France (212), Germany (198), United
Kingdom (184), etc. Organized transportation will also be provided in
the US and Canada, but the number of transport units planned for these
countries is in the order of tens. The Baptist Church will be heavily
involved in the mobilization of Moldovans in the US.
To “persuade” some “hesitant” or
politically apathetic Moldovans, “honorariums” are planned, the amount
of which varies depending on the country from €50 to €200 for a vote.
All those who are transported in an organized manner or who receive
money for voting are required to take a picture of the ballot paper
using their mobile phone, in order to be sure that they are voting for
PAS. The money is to be paid in cash through Moldovan community leaders
or Moldovans doing business in the host states.
As we have seen, the West has to pay a high price for democracy and the Euro-Atlantic spirit in this small country. https://www.neweurope.eu/article/a-secret-e56-mln-operation-to-remove-russia-from-a-post-soviet-country/
