‘From an economic point of view, a price rise is a chain reaction involving several components. It is not just about the energy component, but also the logistical one, starting with the cost price,’ explained Osmochescu. ‘We are citizens too, and so are those in power. We, too, deal with these problems on a daily basis, but we must cope. We must cope.”

Logos Press comment: Yes, we must force ourselves to do so. The only disappointing thing is that the Moldovan authorities intend to raise VAT – the ‘consumer tax’ – on many of the ‘former social goods’ mentioned above, from 8 per cent to 20 per cent.
