The leaders of “Moldova Noastra” Alliance (AMN) and those 2 recently excluded members blame each other for the exclusion decision. At the end of the last week, the National Political Council of AMN excluded from the Alliance two MPs – Vitalia Pavlicenco and Anatol Taranu “for violating and defying the decisions made by the political bodies of the party, by participating in destructive activities against the party, aiming at constituting a new liberal party”. Subsequently, another 2 members – Anatol Vidrascu and Mircea Rusu – left the party. At a press conference, organized on October 4 by the leaders of AMN, its leaders, Serafim Urecheanu declared that the aforementioned decision was motivated by the necessity of strengthening internal unity and efficiency of AMN, and “the adepts of demagogy and selfish individualism refused to accept this”. According to Urecheanu, along with the positive potential of parties which joined AMN, the party also inherited “less appropriate elements”, which “promoted political separatism and selfishness”. At the same time, the cited source denied the declaration recently made by Anatol Taranu, that AMN is financed by political circles from Russia and Tiraspol and that the places on the AMN’s electoral list in 2005 were put for sale. Urecheanu declared that Taranu participated at consultations on the elaboration of the text of the Constitution and he was the only to propose Russian language to have the statute of the second state language. Referring to Vitalia Pavlicenco, the leader of AMN declared that she dealt with activities that were the responsibility of other collegues, abandoning the task she was given to carry out – draft Law on lustration. As regards Mircea Rusu, Urecheanu declared that “supporting his candidature in the local election from 2005 was a mistake”, because his rating was of 1.2%, as much as he accumulated in 1999. The same day, those 4 former members of AMN organized a press conference. Vitalia Pavlicenco qualified the exclusion of the MPs from AMN as political revenge, a political order that came both from outside and inside, as well as an attempt to eliminate the national factor from the Alliance. Pavlicenco says that she promoted on behalf of the team a draft law on lustration and that she works in this respect so that in the near future the draft law will be proposed for examination to the Parliament. According to Taranu, what happened in AMN is not an internal argue, it is a decision based on principles. According to him “we are witnessing the death of the AMN political project”, which aimed at discontinuing communists. The elimination of liberals is nothing else than the transformation of AMN into “the second version of an agrarian party”, typical for the 90’s of this century, Taranu says, declaring that on the ruins of AMN another efficient party or even two will appear which will take over the mission of disposing of communism. At the same time, Taranu reiterated the accusations that the party is financed by Moscow and that it has links with Tiraspol and insisted upon the fact that the places on the electoral list of AMN were put to sale. Regarding the accusations that he pleaded in favor of the Russian language as the second state language he said that he was not MP in 1994 when the Constitution was adopted. AMN was created as a result of several parties’ coalition, which created at the electoral elections from March 6 2006 the Electoral Block “Moldova Democrata”. BMD obtained at that time 28.5% of the votes and respectively 34 mandates. 2 member parties – Democrat Party and the Social Liberal Party – detached from the party in the spring of 2006, and in the autumn of 2005 another group of MPs led by Dumitru Braghis left the party. After the exclusion of those 2 MPs and Vasile Colta’s, the AMN faction has 13 members and almost a quarter of the initial number.
