"President Sandu used the address to issue a blunt warning of the threat, and critique of past action, makes it historic." - it makes it just a speech at the Council of Europe. There is nothing historic in what she has stated, especially that nationally the government is doing close to zero of what she has shared in the speech.
Hello... Menstruatie? Thanks for the comment! I understand what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. If this speech was given by the Polish PM then it would be much less noteworthy. What is so unusual is that the Moldovan President is making these speeches and that Europe listens. If you look up the last address by a Moldovan leader at PACE (Voronin in 2001) it's more or less a list of Moldova's problems and some thanks for getting European help. Moldova as a recipient of aid has been the norm. Moldova as a moral voice that is respected is *very* new. "Historic" might seem hyperbolic and I accept that criticism. But the first address in more than 20 years combined with a Moldova with considerably greater standing in the world is quite something - and I felt it newsworthy.
When you say "nationally the government is doing close to zero of what she has shared" I'm not sure what you mean - want to elaborate?
