One of the members of the group of unaffiliated MPs led by Iurie Leanca, former Deputy Prime Minister Eugen Carporv said the unaffiliated MPs surely want to be useful not to the parties that must form a pro-European coalition, but rather in the process of overcoming the crisis faced by Moldova, but not at any cost. “We will not take part in governance if a dramatic change compared with the current situation does not occur,” the MP said in an interview for Radio Free Europe, quoted by IPN.

Eugen Carpov said things should be looked at in perspective and there are now no actual processes alongside the nice statements and government programs. “A dramatic change means first of all changes in the rule of law institutions and their de-politicization as well as the change of their attitude to justice and the respect for the rule of law in this country. We no longer believe in promises that such institutions as the Prosecutor General’s Office and the National Anticorruption Center will be correct and will do their job. We want actins to be set to be taken in a very short period, which could show that things will definitely change,” he stated.

In another development, the lawmaker noted that the group of unaffiliated MPs could examine the possibility of voting for the new Government, but in clear conditions. “I spoke about justice, but things surely do not stop here. It is also about the banking system where things should be brought in order and the investigation into the bank frauds that should be brought to an end so that the money is restored and those who are responsible, not only Mister Filat, are held accountable. The mass media is another are that should be regulated,” he said.

Asked if Moldova could have a Government by the New Year, Eugen Carpov said the Constitutional Court’s decision reduces the timeframe that will actually expire in the middle of January. As January is full of holidays, it is preferable to form a Government in December.
