The Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) announced its readiness to form and undertake an anti-crisis minority government that would work until snap parliamentary elections. Representatives of the party requested President Maia Sandu to organize consultations where they will present their candidate for Prime Minister - the leader of the PPPDA Andrei Năstase, IPN reports.

In a news conference, Andrei Năstase said they had a meeting with President Maia Sandu in the evening of February 10. They assured her they will vote the same way as the MPs of the Party of Action and Solidarity will vote. In the discussions with President Sandu, the members of the PPPDA reiterated the risks entailed if the snap elections are organized by a government controlled by Igor Dodon and his allies, including the outgoing government.

According to Năstase, the PPPDA banks on the responsibility of the whole political class, the state institutions, particularly the presidential administration, so as to install a pro-European government consisting of upright, professional and courageous people determined to serve the country and the people, which would handle the health and economic crisis, would solve the people’s pressing problems and would organize free and fair elections.

“In this regard, the PPPDA expresses its readiness to form and undertake an anti-crisis minority government until snap parliamentary elections. We realize that we assume enormous risks given the pandemic and economic crisis. But the Republic of Moldova needs lucid and carefully considered decisions. There is no place for games and party interests. Among the immediate priorities of the Republic of Moldova and of the governance assumed by us are to stop the pandemic crisis, to stabilize the economy and to organize free and fair snap elections in conditions of maximum legality,” stated Andrei Năstase.

“Our solution is firm – we assume governance and guarantee the efficient management of the country, including of the pandemic. It is a real alternative that is now at the discretion of the presidential administration.”
