Prime Minister of Moldova Rechan in a video message called debts to Gazprom unfounded
The Moldovan government has confirmed its refusal to repay debts for gas to Gazprom, which it considers unfounded. Writes about this with reference to a video message from Prime Minister Dorin Recan on the social network TikTok TASS.
He recalled that the audit of the “so-called debt” of Moldovagaz to Gazprom has been completed. “We stated that these debts are unfounded and, accordingly, we are not going to pay them,” Rechan said.
The Prime Minister noted that the government of the republic is strengthening the country’s energy independence. He also said that the state-owned Moldovan company Energocom continues to purchase natural gas at lower prices, so the reserves will last throughout the winter. Recean called it paradoxical that Moldova has not applied such a practice in the last 30 years.
