Moldovan, Russian governments have resumed loan talks, says republic’s President

CHISINAU, June 27. /TASS/. The governments of Russia and Moldova have resumed the talks on a 200 mln euro loan to be provided by Moscow to Chisinau, the extension of which has been blocked by Moldova’s pro-European opposition via the Constitutional Court, the republic’s President Igor Dodon informed on Saturday as he published on his Facebook page the text of a letter by Russian Deputy Finance Minister Timur Maksimov addressed to Moldovan Finance Minister Serghei Puscuta.

“Referring to the statement by Prime Minister Ion Chicu, let me confirm readiness for resumption of bilateral consultations with the Moldovan side on the issue of provision of a state financial loan worth 200 mln euro to the Moldovan government,” according to the statement dated June 23.

Dodon said earlier that he had a short exchange of views with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the dynamics of bilateral relations between Moldova and Russia during the visit to Moscow, after which he continued a more detailed discussion on relevant issues of bilateral relations with Deputy Head of Russian President’s Administration, Special Representative of President on development of trade and economic relations with Moldova Dmitry Kozak.

Russia agreed earlier to extend a loan to Moldova at Dodon’s request, and a relevant agreement was approved by the republic’s government and ratified by the parliament, as well as included in 2020 budgets of both countries. The funds were provided “for the purpose of budget support” for ten years at a rate of 2% per annum. However, Moldova’s pro-European opposition accused the government of not conducting the talks openly enough, as well as criticized a number of provisions of the credit agreement.

The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. Ã¢Â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine.
