April 7, 2009 events marked a change in Moldova’s history, PLDM
The Liberal Democratic Party is convince that the April 7, 2009 revolt was decisive in the initiation of irreversible processes aimed at returning things in Moldova to normality. “On April 7, 2012, it is three years of the large-scale anticommunist protests staged in Chisinau, which represented a turning point in the history of our state,” the PLDM says in a statement, quoted by Info-Prim Neo
“The Alliance for European Integration 1 and 2 wouldn’t have existed without April 7, 2009. The press wouldn’t be free and a number of sectors of the economy wouldn’t have been demonopolized. Moldova wouldn’t have had a clear pro-European course and we wound’s have witnessed sustainable economic growth. Without ‘April 7’, we wouldn’t have had clear prospects for obtaining the right to travel to the EU visa free and free trade conditions with the EU member states, for initiating the procedures for signing the Association Agreement by the end of 2013,” reads the statement.
PLDM says those events were a remarkable example of involvement and sacrifice of the young people who lo longer wanted to live in an isolated and poor country ruled by a totalitarian regime. At the same time, the energy of the protesters was used by those who wanted to make serious accusations against the democratic political forces and annihilate them by devastating the official buildings.
The Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group disapproves of conspiracies and says that a sincere and unplanned revolt of a generation that wanted a democratic, civilized, prosperous and European country took place on April 7, 2009. “This fully justifies the institution of the Freedom Day on April 7,” says the PLDM.
The party expresses its dissatisfaction with the performance of the prosecution bodies that have not yet managed to identify those who escalated the violent behavior. “The acquittal of Papuc and Botnari (former minister of the interior and commissioner general, e.n.) by the court is disputable,” considers the PLDM.
The Liberal-Democrats also called on the MPs to be united and responsible and not to imperil the prosperous and democratic future of the Moldovans for the sake of temporary ambitions.
