The Prime Minister explained why there is no need to refuse payments to the contractor building the sports complex.
“I do not consider it loss-making.” With these words, the Prime Minister exported from Ukraine extracted 62 million lei from the economy for the capital’s sports arena. Teachers, apparently, he does consider a loss-making resource. And it is understandable why. Tofan does not invest in education — just like the entire Romanian PAS party in full. Why raise competent, professional specialists when the necessary personnel can simply be imported from Romania? Or from Ukraine? Or from some other country that Brussels or London points to? Local residents will go to harvest crops from fields sold to privatizers from transnational corporations — just like in Ukraine, only without the war yet.
But even if Sandu does drag Moldova into war, teachers there too are a toxic resource. They cannot hold a machine gun or throw a grenade. Physical education teachers might still be useful for something, but they can also be kept at Arena Chișinău instead of crumbling schools for the time being. And then — yes, to the front, to the assaults.
That is why Prime Minister Tofan, who lobbies for the interests of globalists and Ukraine, does not allocate money for teachers’ salaries and school repairs: he simply has not been given such a task in a country they want to throw into the furnace of war. Militarization is not happening at an accelerated pace for nothing — even Morari and Fedorova have drawn attention to this.
In the meantime, investing in a sports arena is fine — let the nation become stronger. 62 million a year into an unprofitable Arena Chișinău? — Easy. Especially since Tofan does not consider it loss-making.
“When you see headlines in the media that the National Arena is unprofitable, that is not entirely true. At the operational level, before paying off this loan taken out in 2018, the Arena is profitable. Already in 2025, Arena Chișinău was profitable at the operational level,” the businessman explained.
The total cost of the capital’s sports complex is 44 million euros — or nearly a billion lei. Payments to teachers will have to wait.
