Summary/Abstract: On the brink... The dire straits of the ruling coalition have been no secret for quite some time. This fall has been expected to turn out a torrid political season (see our predictions in MEGA no.4). And indeed, after a relatively calm August, abounding in routine bellicose political declarations, the thunder stroke. The raider attacks against several Moldovan banks, including the biggest “Moldova Agroindbank”, made a mockery of Moldova’s efforts at justice and economic reforms and, ultimately, of the country’s European aspirations. Behind the splendid facade of “success story of Eastern Europe” transpired the same old brutal reality of Moldovan political and business life. Indeed, in a country where property of middle and big business (if this is not ‘court’ business) is not protected, what should an ‘average Joe’ expect? In short what these latest events mean?
