AEI parties will run in elections separately
The leaders of the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) say that most probably they will take part in the elections separately and will not field a common candidate for the presidential elections. No related agreements have been reached so far, Info-Prim Neo reports.
Mihai Godea, the leader of the parliamentary group of the Liberal Democratic Party, said two parties of the Alliance already made public their positions: the PLDM and the PDM announced they will run in elections separately.
The leader of the Liberal Party (PL), Speaker Mihai Ghimpu said every party will decide by itself how to act as they are separate legal entities. According to Ghimpu, it is highly improbable that the Alliance will form an electoral bloc.
The president of honor of the Democratic Party (PDM) Dumitru Diacov said it is logical to put forward a candidate for president on behalf of the Liberal-Democrat coalition so as to preserve the team.
The leader of the Moldova Noastra Alliance (AMN) Serafim Urecheanu said the AEI should take part in the early legislative elections as a bloc. AMN vice president Victor Osipov argued that the Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland recommended the Alliance to remain united.
