The Centrist Union of Moldova (UCM) was re-formed and re-launched with a new administration, a new emblem and a new message. After the elections, the party will change its name so as to show the ideological repositioning of the party on the center-right segment. The new leader of the party is Dan Petrache, while actor Sergiu Voloc will be the second on the UCM’s list of candidates for MP, IPN reports.
“We are those people who think in a different way, who realized that it’s enough and remaining in the shadow is no longer possible. We must personally become involved to change the situation. We took the occasion and chance offered to us to take over this party, which will be restructured from A to Z,” said Dan Petrache. According to him, the parties that were in power showed that they do not want to improve the situation, while the political class grew older. New and clean people must become now involved in politics.
Dan Petrache explained that the party will include a new team and will have a new platform. The new emblem represents the profile of a head with the word “Different”. The UCM will be a party that will cooperate with the people and will plead for the Parliament and head of state to be penalized by referendum by the people. The UCM is a pro-European party, but it will not negotiate a post-electoral coalition with the parties of the current government coalition, which are corrupt and intend to rig the elections.
According to actor Sergiu Voloc, the ruling parties betrayed the trust put in them after April 7, 2009 and now intend to rig the elections, as the Communist Party did that year. He also accused the pro-European parties of hypocrisy, blocking the reforms and promoting Russia’s interests in the region. Sergiu Voloc called on the Moldovans, especially those who work abroad, not to vote for the current government and warned the intellectuals who vote for the Liberal Party that it is the same thing as voting for the Democratic Party.
The Centrist Union is under No. 25 in the ballot for the November 30 elections.
