State of emergency in Moldova. What does it mean? - TVP World [View all]
On Monday, December 16, a state of energy emergency was declared in Moldova. This is due to a looming halt of natural gas supplies via Ukraine, which is a problem because most of Moldovan electricity comes from burning this very fuel (to make matters more complicated – in a power plant located in Transnistria, a breakaway region). Martin Vladimirov, Director for Energy and Climate at the Center for the Study of Democracy, explains how difficult the situation in the country may become, what the possible courses of action are, and why the politicians in Chișinău are partly responsible for the situation.
