Moldovan opposition: Russian credit is a disaster for Moldova

The Moldovan opposition will appeal to the Prosecutor General's Office to check the circumstances of negotiations and conclusion of an agreement with Russia on a loan of 200 million euros. According to the news agency, the leader of the opposition, ex-Prime Minister Maya Sandu said on April 22 that the Moldovan authorities approved a loan to the detriment of the interests of the country and citizens. The agreement, she said, included catastrophic provisions for Moldova, for example, that the state takes responsibility for private debtors. Sandu says that there are no such clauses in the credit contracts that Russia enters into with other countries. Maya Sandu added that even Finance Minister Sergei Pushkutsa does not know that he negotiated with Moscow about this loan, and where these points came from. The ex-prime minister wants the Prosecutor General's Office to find out all this. Recall, on April 17 in Moscow Ambassador of Moldova Andrei Negutsa signed an agreement with the leadership of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation on credit in the amount of 200 million, and the government of Moldova on April 21 approved the agreement. The interest rate on the loan will be 2%, and the term of return of the loan will be 10 years. The money is planned to be allocated to budgetary needs and infrastructure, in particular road repair.
