Movement for unification of Romania and Moldova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_for_unification_of_Romania_and_Moldova


A movement for the unification of Romania and Moldova began in both countries after the 1989 Romanian Revolution and the glasnost policy in the Soviet Union. Individuals who are advocates of this movement are usually called Unionişti or Unionists. In Moldova, those against the movement are called Moldovenişti or Moldovenists [1]. The difference between this type of unionism and the irredentism which characterizes the Greater Romania Party is that the latter totally ignore Romania's international commitments by calling for a return of territories which go beyond the border of either Romania and Moldova and which are only remotely inhabited by Romanians. By contrast, unionists limit themselves to the peaceful reunification of the two states only.


Background

Bessarabia has been traditionally part of the Principality of Moldavia until it was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1812. During the Russian Revolution of 1917, it declared its independence and its representative council (Sfatul Ţării) voted for union with Romania in 1918.

During World War II, the Soviet Union occupied the region organizing it in the Moldavian SSR. The Soviets began a campaign to create a Moldovan ethnic identity (Moldovenism) different from that of the Romanians, whom they described as "capitalist oppressors".[1]

The Soviet official policy also stated that Romanian and Moldovan were two different languages and, to emphasize the distinction, Moldovan was written using a special Cyrillic alphabet (the Moldovan alphabet) derived from the Russian alphabet – unlike Romanian, written with its own version of the Latin alphabet. [2]


Early history of the movement, 1990-1992

In September 1989, with the liberalization in the Soviet Union, the Moldavian SSR Parliament declared Moldovan to be the official language and asserted the real existence of a "linguistic Moldo-Romanian identity".[3]

On 6 May 1990, Romania and the Moldavian SSR lifted restrictions on travel between the two territories, and hundreds of thousands of people crossed the Prut River which marked their common border.[4] At the time, it was widely expected in both countries that they would soon be united;[5] however the pro-Moscow politics of Romanian president Ion Iliescu made both sides more cautious and delayed a strengthening of the ties.[6]

In his address to the Romanian parliament, in February 1991, Mircea Snegur, the Moldovan president, spoke of a common identity of Moldovans and Romanians, referring to the "Romanians of both sides of the Prut River" and "Sacred Romanian lands occupied by the Soviets". In June 1991, Snegur talked about Moldova moving toward the reunification with Romania, adding that the USSR is not making great efforts to stop it.[7]

Following independence, declared on 27 August 1991, the Romanian tricolor, with a Moldovan coat-of-arms, was adopted as the national flag. In addition, Deşteaptă-te, române!, the Romanian national anthem, also became that of Moldova. [8]

However, soon afterward, within the Moldovan Popular Front, there was a disagreement over the issue of the union with Romania,[9] which resulted in a separation of Mircea Snegur's group in October 1991.

While many Moldovan writers and intellectuals supported the union and wanted a "reunion with the Romanian motherland",[10] there was little popular support, with more than 70% of the Moldovans rejecting it, according to some 1992 polls.[11] Nevertheless, Transnistria used the movement for unification with Romania as a pretext for declaring its independence.[11]


Late 1990s and early 2000s

The initial enthusiasm in Moldova was tempered and from 1993 Moldova started distancing itself from Romania. The constitution adopted in 1994 used the term "Moldovan language" instead of "Romanian" and changed the national anthem to Limba noastră. The 1996 attempt by Moldovan president Mircea Snegur to change the official language to "Romanian" was dismissed by the Moldovan Parliament as "promoting Romanian expansionism".

A "Concept on National Policy" was adopted in 2003, which is very similar to the Soviet era Moldovenism, by proclaiming that Moldovans (speaking the Moldovan language) are a people different from the Romanians, who are described as an ethnic minority in Moldova.[12]


The current situation

Until recently, a union between Romania and Moldova was deemed unlikely, owing to a lack of interest in both countries. In Romania, while most political parties give mild support to the concept, at least in theory, unification would most probably be a burden on the Romanian economy, considering that Moldova is currently the poorest country in Europe. Additionally, Romania joined the European Union in 2007, and while the country has recently supported Moldova in its foreign policy, many political analysts question Moldova's political preparedness and whether it has made sufficient progress towards unification.

From the point of view of the Transnistrian government, due political necessity, any Moldovan unification with Romania could only include the part of Moldova which extends to the Dniester river. On the other side of the river, Transnistria would not agree to be part of any union with Romania. Statements from Transnistrian officials support unification of Romania and Moldova as long as Transnistria is not included.

In pre-2005 Moldova, apart from the newly created Unionist Movement of the Republic of Moldova, only the Christian-Democratic People's Party actively supported unification. However, the stance of the Christian-Democrats has become questionable due to their post-2005 collaboration with the Moldovan Communists. Due to this change in Moldovan politics, a new party, the National Liberal Party( Partidul National Liberal), mirroring the party with the same name in Romania, has been created which also calls for a loose union with Romania and integration within the EU [2].

Nevertheless, starting with the year 2004, after the Belkovski Plan, discussions concerning the unification are on the increase [3].

In 2004, the Romanian newspaper Ziua published a series of articles claiming that a senior Russian diplomat proposed to the Romanian government a plan that he claimed "came from president Putin himself", which would leave the west bank of Moldova in Romania in exchange for a Romanian recognition of Transnistrian independence. Russian president Putin has neither confirmed nor denied the statements of the Romanian newspaper. Nevertheless, Romanian journalists and scholars immediately dismissed the plan since it would not address the question of the city of Tighina which is under Transnistrian control yet in Moldova proper, nor would this address the question of how Russia would manage to convince Moldova, a sovereign and independent state, to join a political union with Romania.

In January 2006, the Romanian president, Traian Băsescu declared that he strongly supports the Moldovan bid for joining the European Union and that "Romania's minimal policy is that the unification of the Romanian nation would be done within the EU". Interpretations of the word "minimal policy" have led some to believe that the current Romanian administration also has a maximal policy to formally unite the two countries.

According to a March 2006 poll in Romania, 51% of Romanians support a union with Moldova, 27% are against, and another 10% declined to answer[4]. Also, of those supporting the union, 28% support a union with Moldova, including Transnistria, while the rest of 16% support a union without Transnistria.[13]

In July 2006, the Romanian president, Traian Băsescu, said that he had made a proposal of union to the Moldovan president, Vladimir Voronin, enabling Romania and Moldova to join the EU together. The offer, however, had been refused and Băsescu said that he would respect this decision and that Romania would help Moldova find its own way to integrate with the EU. [14]


Dual citizenship

In the autumn of 2006, the Unionist movement has gained some momentum as the subject was more regularly discussed in prominent Romanian language newspapers and as many Moldovans have applied for Romanian passports in August and September of 2006, alone[15]. Meanwhile, between 1991 and 2006, 95,000 Moldovans have obtained Romanian citizenship [5]. According to Romanian president Traian Băsescu, by the end of 2006, 530,000 demands from Moldovan citizens have been written, requesting Romanian citizenship [6]. Băsescu has also mentioned that the real number is higher as many of these demands are signed by not just one person but in many cases by entire families [7]. In a subsequent televised interview, Băsescu further explained that so far, based on the over 500,000 demands, about 800,000 Moldovans have requested Romanian citizenship and that it is estimated that by the end of 2007, this number will increase to 1,500,000, which is almost 50% of Moldova's population. [8]. However, it is important to note that requesting Romanian citizenship does not automatically infer one's Unionist view. Hence, it is unclear whether the relationship between the citizenship demands and Unionism is a strong one or whether there are other causes for Moldovans seeking Romanian citizenship. In 2007, the President of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, declared in an interview that the two languages are identical, but said that Moldovans should have the right to call their language for Moldovan. Oleg Serebrean, the leader of the political party Social-Liberal, declared that if the Moldovans and the Romanians decided to unite, neither USA, nor Russia, could put a stop to such a union.[16]

KST - Concert pentru Basarabia

Mareşalul ION ANTONESCU

Campania "Arboreaza Drapelul National!"

Campania "Arboreaza Drapelul National!" organizata de Noua Dreapta

Noua Dreapta isi propune prin acesta campanie sa redea tinerilor o parte importanta a mandriei de a fi roman, cea legata de unul dintre simbolurile identitare esentiale - tricolorul romanesc . Atribut si simbol al Patriei, tricolorul reprezinta neamul românesc , este expresia fiintei noastre nationale, simbolul sacru catre care se îndreapta aspiratiile tuturor românilor adunati în jurul lui.

Azi, cand tricolorul romanesc e batjocorit in asa-zisul Tinut Secuiesc iar in Transnistria e considerat "simbol fascist", avem datoria sa cinstim si sa arboram fara retineri, pretutindeni, acest simbol al romanismului! Fie ca mergem la evenimente sportive, concerte sau de sarbatori nationale, fie acasa, la servici sau cand plecam in strainatate, tricolorul romanesc trebuie sa ne fie nelipsit!

Dupa 1 ianuarie 2007 vedem cum - dintr-un mimetism prost inteles - din ce in ce mai multi romani arboreaza drapelul UE . Ce se intampla insa cu drapelul national? Cati romani arboreaza tricolorul la masina personala macar de 1 decembrie ? Sa fie unii romani atat de etno-masochisti incat sa-si piarda atat de usor respectul pentru propriile simboluri?

La alte natiuni, drapelul de stat ocupa un loc de cinste intre valorile nationale si aproape ca nu exista productie cinematografica "made in Hollywood" in care sa nu apara drapelul SUA. Noi, ca romani, avem datoria de onoare sa cinstim drapelul national, cel putin in egala masura cu americanii, francezii, ungurii, etc. Toti se mandresc cu drapelul lor, noi de ce n-am face-o?

VINERI, PE 31 AUGUST, SUSŢINE CAUZA ROMÂNISMULUI DIN BASARABIA

VINERI, PE 31 AUGUST, SUSŢINE CAUZA ROMÂNISMULUI DIN BASARABIA, VINO LA CONCERTUL DEDICAT LIMBII ROMÂNE ŞI ARBOREAZĂ UN DRAPEL TRICOLOR -www.concert.romanism.net-

La 31 august 1989, cu aproape 4 luni înainte de prăbuşirea regimului comunist de la Bucureşti, dincolo de Prut, autorităţile decideau, la presiunea maselor, repunerea în drepturile istorice a limbii române.

La 17 ani de la aceste eveniment situaţia din Basarabia este departe de a se fi îmbunătăţit considerabil. Trecuţi de şocul provocat de căderea sistemului autoritar în toate ţările Europei de Est şi mai apoi de destrămarea URSS-ului, comuniştii au recâştigat puterea la Chişinău. Astfel, românii de peste Prut se confruntă cu aceleaşi probleme ca şi înainte de '89: distrugerea identităţii româneşti si readucerea la lumină a farsei numită: “naţiunea moldovenească”.

Pe 31 august 2006 11 formaţii au răspuns chemării şi au acceptat să cânte pe treptele TNB pentru a aduce în atenţia bucureştenilor problemele cu care populaţia din stânga Prutului se confruntă. O tristă coincidenţă a făcut ca în acel moment 9 tineri să fie arestaţi la Chişinău deoarece manifestaseră legal pentru a le fi respectate drepturile.

În acest an ediţia a 2-a a “Concertului Limbii Române” se va desfăşura la aceeaşi dată, în acelaşi loc, mesajul rămânând acelaşi: românii de peste Prut trebuie lăsaţi să îşi vorbeasca şi să îşi înveţe limba, să cunoască istoria reală a strămoşilor lor, să aibă dreptul de a-şi alege singuri drumul.

Patriarhul Romaniei si razboiul secret pentru Basarabia

Patriarhul Romaniei si razboiul secret pentru Basarabia
Bucuresti, Romania/Romanian Global News

01 august 2007
Dincolo de straiele monahale Patriarhul Romaniei a fost promotorul unei adevarate "geopolitici a ortodoxiei" romanesti.
Foarte putina lume a cunoscut activitatea tainica, lupta dusa de Patriarh pentru Romania, pe un teren dintre cele mai primejdioase. Terenul de confruntare geopolitica cu Rusia. Statul roman, captat dupa 1989 de personaje aflate in subordinea Moscovei, in frunte cu Ion Iliescu si-a tradat atributiile. Diplomatia Bisericii a dus un razboi lung si dificil pe aliniamente vaste. Intalnirea Patriarhului Teoctist cu Papa Ioan Paul al II lea, cel mai antisovietic luptator al lumii occidentale nu a fost intamplatoare. Dupa cum nici vizita Papei in Romania nu a fost intamplatoare. Din dealul Patriarhiei s-a dus o lupta indarjita de neatarnare fata de Marele Frate de la Rasarit.
Unul dintre miturile fondatoare ale Marii Rusii inca din vremea Imperiul tarist acredita ideea primatului Moscovei, promovandu-se conceptul "Moscova - a treia Roma" si "Rusia - continuatoarea Imperiului Bizantin". Pentru tarul Petru I dar si pentru urmatorii tari ai Rusiei Constantinopolul era un obiectiv suprem, un simbol al puterii laice si un obiectiv pur politic. Statul Rus si Biserica Ortodoxa Rusa (care dupa Reforma lui Petru I devenise subordonata statului) si-au unit eforturile si interesele fel astfel ca, Basarabia a devenit o jertfa "fireasca" in calea expansiunii ruse.
Smulsa cu forta din trupul Principatului Moldova, Basarabia a devenit, dupa 1812, o colonie si sub aspect spiritual regimul tarist urmarind in principal distrugerea culturii nationale romanesti concentrata in jurul bisericilor iar Biserica Ortodoxa Rusa a aplicat in beneficiul Imperiului Rus strategii bine gandite de deznationalizare si rusificare a bastinasilor romani.
Paradoxal, politica antireligioasa a regimului sovietic si folosirea acestei politici cu scopul deznationalizarii romanilor din Basarabia s-a acordat perfect cu politica Patriarhiei Ruse in perioada sovietica care a ramas fidela autocratiei statale, ramanand o unealta eficienta in promovarea imperialismului sovietic (rus).
Dupa destramarea Blocului sovietic, in 1989 Patriarhiei Moscovei a facut eforturi serioase de prevenire a apropierii fostelor Mitropolii ale Chisinaului si Cernautilor de Patriarhia Romana. Miscarea de renastere nationala din Basarabia a izvorat din bisericile si manastirile din Basarabia, adevarate centre nationale de cultura. In cazul Mitropoliei Basarabiei, Sfantul Sinod al Bisericii Ortodoxe Romane nu a recunoscut niciodata desfiintarea ei.
Incepand cu primavara anului 1992 este lansata si vehiculata paradigma "romanizarii" si "unificarii cu Romania" se declanseaza Razboiul pe Nistru, iar in plan bisericesc, incidentele sangeroase de pe Nistru isi gasesc un corespondent ecleziastic. Moscova riposteaza pe toate planurile.

"Drumul Crucii"
In martie 1992 Liga Studentilor din Universitatea Bucuresti initiaza impreuna cu tinerii din Basarabia o actiune de amploare intitulata "Drumul Crucii" care are drept scop resuscitarea unei miscari nationale pentru Romania, in vechile hotare. Sute de mii de oameni intampina tinerii care au dus in spate, de la Chisinau la Bucuresti, o cruce binecuvantata de Patriarhul Teoctist, pe treptele Patriarhiei.
Patriarhul Teoctist a initiat imediat dupa aceasta actiune de rasunet dialogul cu Biserica Ortodoxa Rusa pentru repararea nedreptatii cauzate, pe plan bisericesc si canonic, de pactul Ribbentrop - Molotov in urma caruia Basarabia in mod fortat a trecut sub jurisdictia Patriarhiei Moscovei. Initiativa Patriarhului, lansata pe data de 9 aprilie 1992 a fost interpretata de catre partea rusa, ca un amestec in jurisdictia sa, Patriarhia Moscovei, coordonand actiunile violente ale reprezentantilor Mitropoliei Moldovei impotriva "tradatorilor" si "schismaticilor" romani.
La 14 septembrie 1992, Adunarea Eparhiala de reconstituire a Mitropoliei Autonome a Basarabiei adopta hotararea de a reactiva Mitropolia de pana la ocupatia sovietica si alege pe P.S. Petru ca Loctiitor de Mitropolit, iar la 19 decembrie acelasi an, Patriarhia Romana a recunoscut oficial printr-un Act Patriarhal si Sinodal reactivarea acestei formatiuni bisericesti sub jurisdictia sa.
Conflictul direct cu Moscova
Patriarhul Moscovei a calificat actul de reactivare ca "... ingerinta anticanonica in problemele interne ale Bisericii Ortodoxe din Moldova, care este parte a Patriarhiei Moscovei si care se bucura de independenta in administratia sa interna...", acuza Patriarhia Romana de incalcarea unor canoane bisericesti si in final adreseaza un ultimatum lui Teoctist: "Daca apelul nostru nu va produce nici un fel de reactie, vom intelege acest lucru ca pe inceputul unei noi schisme care va distruge relatiile dintre cele doua Biserici si care va afecta serios unitatea Ortodoxiei, precum si relatiile dintre cele doua natiuni." Aceasta amenintare a fost urmata de ruperea relatiilor dintre cele doua Biserici Ortodoxe.
Paralel cu implicarea fortelor de ordine in probleme religioase, membrii mitropoliei pro-moscovite au organizat in mai multe randuri atacurile directe impotriva preotilor si a mirenilor din cadrul mitropoliei Basarabiei. La 19 iulie 1993, o dispozitie adresata comisarilor sectiilor de politie ii obliga pe acestia sa ia masuri impotriva celor care au trecut de sub jurisdictia Patriarhiei Moscovei sub ascultarea canonica a Patriarhiei Romane
R. Moldova Mitropolia Basarabiei nu este recunoscuta de stat si de aceea toate actiunile ei sunt ilegale si cad sub urmarire penala. In viziunea Sinodului Bisericii Ortodoxe din R. Moldova, desfasurat in 1997, recunoasterea Mitropoliei Basarabiei de catre stat va contribui la "incurajarea unor tendinte cu efect distrugator; agravarea conflictului de identitate etnica "romani - neromani"; etc. in data de 17 octombrie 2001, problema patrimoniului bisericesc a fost serios examinata la Marea Adunare a Clericilor Ortodocsi din R. Moldova, la care au participat cca. o mie de preoti ai Mitropoliei subordonate Moscovei si presedintele statului V. Voronin. La aceasta Adunare s-a ridicat problema Mitropoliei Basarabiei. Pentru a calma spiritele, V. Voronin a promis ca in timpul mandatului sau presedintial nu va permite inregistrarea acestei structuri bisericesti "schismatice".
Mitropolia Basarabiei s-a judecat 14 ani cu statul moldovenesc si si-a castigat dreptul la existenta cu ajutorul CEDO. Actiunile ostile ale Mitropoliei Moldovei coordonata de Moscova, nu au putut impiedica dezvoltarea Mitropoliei Basarabiei, care in 1999 avea in componenta sa peste 100 de comunitati. Contrar eforturilor si asteptarilor mitropoliei pro-moscovite, Mitropolia Basarabiei este astazi a doua Biserica ca numar in Republica Moldova.

Jertfa Patriarhului
Toate acestea s-au datorat Patriarhului Teoctist iar pentru orice cunoscator al dedesubturilor acestui razboi tainic purtat cu molohul rus este o evidenta la nivelul riscurilor asumate de Teoctist. De altfel, Moscova nu a stat degeaba si a orchestrat pe parcursul intregii batalii cu Patriarhul Romaniei o campanie profesionista de anihilare publica a lui Teoctist. Toate atacurile si alegatiile mincinoase, vituperarea la adresa Patriarhului au avut suport si coordonare de la Kremlin. Razboiul nu se va opri insa moartea Patriarhului va lasa fara comandant frontul de est. Dumnezeu sa ajute Romania!
