The PACE - Romania Inainte parliamentary group in the Senate, through an open letter, proposes the setting up of a committee to be in charge with the institutional integration of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, with a limited term in office and to be "exclusively oriented" towards "concrete results" for the reunification of the two states.
According to the letter signed by 12 PACE - Romania Inainte senators and four deputies, the committee will draw up "a national report regarding the institutional integration of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, which will allow the Parliament, the Government and all state institutions to act in an informed, coherent and responsible manner".
"Romania has reached a historic crossroads. Not a spectacular one, not one triggered by visible crises, a silent but decisive one, in which inaction can become the most serious political decision. The recent statement of Mrs. Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, that she would vote for the reunification of the Republic of Moldova with Romania in the event of a referendum, as well as the geopolitical realities in the region clearly show that the issue of the relationship between Romania and the Republic of Moldova can no longer be dealt with exclusively through symbolic gestures, festive declarations or parliamentary structures without real content. The time has come for the Romanian Parliament to take on an active, serious and responsible role. We do not propose slogans, we do not propose a forced calendar, we do not propose gestures that would destabilise the region. We only propose concrete mechanisms at the level of the state and state institutions," the document states.
The signatories of the letter also specify that this committee "is not another friendship committee, it is not another decorative committee or an ideological one".
"It has a precise purpose, to analyse, from a legal, constitutional and institutional point of view, and also from a national security perspective what the functional integration of the two states would mean, in concrete terms, and what legal steps are necessary to be prepared, by the Romanian state, for any future development. Romania cannot afford to just wait for others to decide in its place. Romania cannot afford to step into this historic moment unprepared. Romania cannot afford to improvise. This committee will have real tasks. It will ask for official documents and information, and it will build a technical calendar, instead of a political one," the letter adds.
