"It's not reliable, because all abeşcesc, but nobody does."
Ciuciuleni beginning of September. Moldovans
Why not come to vote? Central Election Commission Secretary, Iurie Hammer said that the electoral authority was caught in the activity related to changes in electoral law urgent, so it was not dedicated enough to inform the population on the constitutional referendum on September 5. Observers say political parties in the Alliance for European Integration have not worked enough a good result at the plebiscite. May I say that the Communist Party is still strong. But, in their view, it is also true that citizens have their share of blame, as they show indifference to their future .
early parliamentary elections could be held on 21 November. The decision belongs to the leaders of AEI, who recommended Ghimpu interim president during a meeting of the ruling coalition, to dissolve the current legislature and to publicly announce the date of the new election.

low rate of participation in the referendum of September 5 is due to insufficient information attributes on its importance. They said it ordinary people, with whom he discussed Free Europe in rural areas.

They were so sick of political instability, and what they really want are higher wages, jobs and a better life.

We give them money in 80, or a lion. We have no where da grapes. People complain about the hill. Bring someone in Parliament to see the hills - all shall adopt fallow lands. What to eat tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? Yes the world is very troubled. The world does not live with that, he has to eat. Not that is why he is struggling, poor. Does a bird, indeed, calculate the final that he has flesh has. But as they struggle. IACA look like this woman stands frozen for days, to give a lion kilogram of watermelon. What iesă them? Da-an expensive gasoline. That means, that turned his face from peasant? The world has no confidence as MPs. They sit there and scold. It would be a single party, that would really work. But if you have more, and you shall adopt some dogs, argue that the fence. "
RFE / RL: If there are so many problems, the world becomes more indifferent? I do not care about anything?

-" It's a eGOS between people. A jealous. This is strong here in the village. That men shall adopt introvert, that's right. And everyone thinks only of himself. Maybe it's time I do not know, but always be nearby to take care of you. "
-" I shall adopt a democracy. "

Moldovans it just went bad and when they themselves chose their president, but in recent years, when he is elected by Members of Parliament. If there is no difference, they left the politicians to make the choice. For ordinary people are concerned with one interest - that of survival. Here's interim president explains Ghimpu aceastră indifference, which nestled in mind Moldavian.
RFE / RL: But you do that it's raining, when deciding the fate of the country?
Ghimpu : "Here's the problem, when I say that it is these people who cry that oh, we want to get rid of the communists, then hop, I escaped and they need more. Communism is not demolished in one day and one night. These are very deep roots. Not just from the years 2001-2009. That 's in 1917 in Russia, and November 1940. They are very deep roots. The deepest roots are in the minds of citizens, which no You can knock them possibly even the cemetery. "
Free Europe: Indifference to be fueled by distrust in politicians?
Ghimpu : "There are a percentage of people. But you can not put them all in one basket. As a village, if you drink one, not the whole village is drunk. There can not be so. And after all, this was a referendum. It's changing the way of choice. Come on, that if you do not like one, then iai attitude towards him, when there are elections, "for" or "against". But rather be indifferent to the crisis, you know that one year we have this crisis. There are some situations that some people like to be a crisis, because they take advantage of the crisis. "
RFE: Poverty, understand that it makes some indifferent?
Ghimpu : "Yes."
RFE / RL: And you think about their problems.
Ghimpu : "Yes. Poverty yes. Poverty is true, unfortunately, some brought in so that he no longer believes changing. And they say, whoever is not in power, would not choose as president, I do not escape poverty. But sin, that does not understand this thing, because only together can we overcome poverty one if you can not overcome alone. Because some people have by nature, they gave them to support themselves, others do not. And when government intervention is needed, somehow help create jobs. Several things are here. "
RFE / RL: But the spiritual crisis, the moral is deeper than the economic crisis?
Ghimpu
: "How spiritual crisis in our people, the poor, they have no idea what it means? I believe that intellectuals have participated in the referendum, however. We show the percentage, say voters Alliance. They are the people aware. It is the other side did not participate, to Communists and undecided voters. Undecided are just poor, that whoever would understand by now that no longer helps anyone came into indifference, unfortunately. "
RFE / RL: How do you feed a hope? Let stand at the next elections?
Ghimpu : "I believe that they only change for the better, just to see that things have moved and then to wake to life. Occur when a motivation for others to say - if he changed, and I mean that it can be. That means that there must be some pension increases, opening of businesses, jobs, salaries, on the countryside. But this can not happen without political stability and that they do not understand, unfortunately. And I'm sorry. "

George Sarbu is one of the few businessmen in the village Onesti Hincesti. He believes independed referendum to be forecasted well in advance.
Gheorghe Sarbu: "Those who support the Communist Party are more dogmatic. That is her unconditional support. If, for instance, for example they say that we must unite with Russia-Belarus union, so nobody gets mad - it's normal. If someone says democratic parties, that we must unite with the European Union, to be closer to Romania, that is very dangerous. No way. And those who support the democratic parties are people who still have some complaints. With them not just to talk, you have to understand them. And there is one thing, you know, were people who suffered because of the principle dancer. After our income was not clearly taken into account. They have simply been ignored, marginalized. "
RFE / RL: What mood now prevails in the village? The world is even more disappointed? World awaits election? How is it? It aggravates the situation? It's all so tense? It's less tense?
Gheorghe Sarbu: "There is more languished. Man has often provoked, or persuaded, or should it be interesting what was not. For example, we absolutely never, never been gathered and local council to discuss: Well, what do we do? May need to go in town, talked to more people. "
RFE / RL: But in contrast, places much of the Communist councilors have always called for a boycott. Gheorghe Sarbu
: "Yes, yes, yes. They came out three. Even local mayors had to be more active to keep the lists were made. For many people it's really gone. And for decades is gone, who simply remained in the lists, but they never come to the elections. Besides these, there are several things. You know why the world is indifferent. In the last government, for example, could lead to man 10 times to go to city hall and mayor and now can not find all repeat the same thing. Because, as you understand it? Different mayors as a rule, most often, ba e cotaşi leader, he sometimes has 500-600 acres, which manages them. He am, poor, first go and how to clarify their questions like, then go to see how răluieşte, then must go and see how it gathers. People come not found. Deserves a certificate, a document deserves. And this entire country is like. "
Free Europe: irritated, angry. Apathy.
Gheorghe Sarbu: "So people are expected came under new management, it will not be working. Sir, your people are elected, you're a time of eight to 18 hours must be at work, what is not. The mayor and no one is looking. After dinner in Hall's nobody. But there are in all municipalities. Representatives in the territory of the Government, regional offices, should have control, you must call to see where're a. People go to wail. The protest by this absenteeism. So he comes afterwards. "
RFE: Poverty and told if the word indifference?
Gheorghe Sarbu: "Man it is a poor man simply thinks primarily to the daily bread. Worse, if you start poor May May takes glass. They are pretty ugly things today. The reality is cruel enough. Many even in the Republic of Moldova is very sad. "
RFE / RL: Now, that was announced, however, that Parliament will be dissolved following the parliamentary elections, the world will have the same behavior? It's tilted more to the indifference? Or more to participate?
Gheorghe Sarbu: "more people will be mobilized. Even the Communist Party will mobilize and convince them to vote and to vote their party, of course. But the democratic parties must now realize that they must convince people, because now no longer go promises. Promises have been. So these four deserves binding ruling parties that are to be together. The second - should think very well for a message, to convince the world. We must also take action against those who are burden on the parties thereto. "

Moldovans do not like uncertainty and indifference is characteristic suggests Ion Jigau sociologist, director of sociological CBS AXA.
RFE / RL: To understand, that I do not care what is around him on his street in his city, his country? Ion Jigau
: "This is as Romanian policeman who beat him before Easter, it has not swept in front of the gate was bad. Because it was put to clean and take care. And now it's better not to watch anything. "
RFE / RL: This would explain, in a way, and the indifference of the citizen to go to elections, the referendum? Ion Jigau
: "Well, sure. First, attitude dictates this behavior. "I do not believe in anyone." "I'm afraid of uncertainty." "I do not know what the referendum, for so do not go." Unlike our neighbors, Slavs, Russians, for example, are a people explorer, Moldovans are just now exploring our world. Now, after 98, actually started when the large wave of migration. Only now have they started to explore the world. And they got a taste for migration to foreign countries and the new. Until now they not explore anything. Their horizon was more than fair, the neighboring village, the traditions. "
Free Europe: What can cause indifference? Ion Jigau
: "The perpetuation of negative processes and phenomena for us in the sense that someone else decide for us. However, Moldovans have another characteristic: they have a so-called long distance to power. I mean, if you're in power, you're somebody. If you lose power, you're nobody. And then, these phenomena will continue to exist in the future. For what is a short to power? That means that I might criticize the authorities, so necessary to do something that I want and do not expect her to me give to charity I do, let us say so rudely. That is, that in fact all the charity expects to power. Well yes, but somewhere should take power to give. So, we must first put in the budget cela something so we can get something there. That is to share with the poor, and those who are powerless. That means responsibility. And not only us but also for the elite, for those who are in power. "
RFE / RL: Mr. Jigau, but it seems that the political class and treated with indifference masses? Ion Jigau
: "Well they are a part of ours. How can they be otherwise, if they are psychologically like us. "
RFE / RL: And what should happen? Ion Jigau
: "You know, until it thunders, the peasant does not make a cross. Until trăsneşte, until lightning strikes with him, he does not make a cross. I mean, he does not think that we must do something to change the situation. "
Free Europe: And when it thunders, civic consciousness wakes up? Ion Jigau
: "I doubt it, yet. Since it will take, however, must pass a time. From the historical point of view, all I have now passed us in 20 years, very little. And then we have to load the patience to go in time to change the current situation. Do we want to change, first, and then year by year we gain some things that, say, perhaps more quickly than in the West, they have accumulated over the past 300-400 years.
And there is something, besides the peasant mentality. The fact that we are Orthodox. Orthodoxy has not yet appeared in theological disputes, which the West made it three-four-five and even 800 years ago. So, we are lacking in our faith discussions. "
RFE / RL: Mr. Jigau, but this distrust is fueled largely by poverty, which affected virtually the entire Moldovan society? Ion Jigau
: "It is primarily fueled by cultural poverty. For a child of a peasant is very rare that you read. I have seen students who have not read a book. Here is the difference between our universities and the U.S.. An American, American student hall is four hours and 20 hours per week, 40 hours per week and is working independently, because he has written many essays, he has done so many work at home, that he barely manages to cope. While ours, after falling out of the auditorium, the auditorium, do nothing. So our schools are good, but our universities are bad. "
Free Europe: situation, as happened in the referendum can be repeated in parliamentary elections? Ion Jigau
: "Anytime, if political elites will not spark interest. Our political elite should learn some lessons. At least some of the promises we make to achieve them. I understand that not all can be achieved. Because there are objective circumstances - a world crisis, economic hardship, other order, economic bottlenecks, embargoes, etc. And then they have some barriers, which hinders them to make promises, but some can do? For example, to improve the justice system to improve order in the country, that I am not afraid to let go of my baby's day out that will be run over by a car, or be robbed of an ordinary thief, etc. These things require material resources. In fact, political elites must have, besides the mind, reason, and political will, soul. And it might do what he promised. "
RFE / RL: So far, the Moldavian rain is doing that. Ion Jigau
: "Yes. And yet I think it will last. The mentality is changing very slowly. Must pass several generations and still more political elites. Here are Orthodox. The mentality is changing very hard, very hard. We, in fact, we're back now, after I got out of developed socialism, somewhere far back. I believe that, after thinking, I'm back in the 16th century something. "
