Admire their chutzpah

Checking on goings on in Moldova and other parts of the world.

In Moldova, proposed amendments to the “entrepreneurship licensing law” would increase by 30 percent on production and/or storage of alcohol, ethyl spirit and beer and importation of tobacco. Also fuel at filling stations.

(Wondering how many government finance officials of countries in Eastern Europe are saying, “Hey, at least we’re not Greece or Spain. Or Italy. Or Portugal. Or Ireland.”)

Way back in December, Transnistria’s “largest Obnovleniye [Renovation] Republican Party” expelled two members “for their sharp criticizing of party leader Anatoly Kaminsky …” On Wednesday the party replaced the two men with “MP Galina Antiufeyeva, chairwoman of the Transnistrian supreme soviet standing committee for state building, local self-governance, human rights and freedoms, state security and defense.”
