Stoianoglo stated that the Moldovan authorities are creating the illusion of energy independence without a clear strategy, leaving the country in a crisis. He emphasized that, despite promises to diversify energy sources, Moldova remains dependent on Russian gas. Stoianoglo pointed out that the authorities claimed we could buy gas from anywhere, but did not address the crucial issue—gas accessibility for people and the economy. He also added that due to the high gas prices, the economy is suffering and losing its competitiveness.
