Gallery of "glorious" snapshots

The eyes are more persuasive than the diplomatic demagoguery.

In their defence, the EU and US interlocutors argue that they are bound to communicate with the ones the Moldovan people elected. They omitted to specify that Plahotniuc has been never elected, and holds no office (no official position) to these days. The most plausible answer to the question "whom are you meeting with though" would be "the boss of local mafia".

More photographs of EU and US officials with Vladimir Plahotniuc can be found on his sites: Facebook, Democratic Party and Plahotniuc.md.

⚑ Please note three things:
  1. EU and US officials are not "incidentally caught by the photographers", but are deliberately posing for that snapshots, often in Plahotniuc's office;
  2. No comments or explanations from the EU or US officials have ever ensued those snapshots, which left to be the only "historical messages" to the Moldovans;
  3. Plahotniuc and his media holding did their best to present the above photographs as cogent evidence of the EU and US support for his clique and him personally.

▸ See here the short version Tap to magnify Romania Ukraine Moldova Chisinau Among a striking multitude of appalling violations of human rights in Moldova , there is one which stands out due to its unprecedented magnitude, unparalleled impudence and profound repercussions over the entire country and particularly its banking and insurance sectors. In this Brief Note we introduce the raider attacks of 2010-2011, cases of an utmost social resonance in Moldova. Due to the complicity and personal involvement of the most powerful state dignitaries (heads of Moldovan courts, Prosecutor General, director of Anticorruption Centre, Governor of the National Bank, members of Moldovan Parliament and Govern), nor even the human rights organisations on the spot have dared to address the cases, preferring to turn the blind eye on such an uncomfortable subject only not to annoy the...
