The opposition forces, especially those of the right, practically do not have chances of winning the presidential elections set for 2020, first of all because the forces of the right during the last few years have been in a crisis of country development ideas. Furthermore, “struggles” for leadership often occur inside the right and this is only to the disadvantage of the given parties. The issue was developed in the talk show “Key issue” on NTV Moldova channel, IPN reports.
Expert in political sciences Ernest Vardanean said the situation is difficult on the right as the voters of different parties intersect. On the left, attention should be devoted to the Civic Congress Common Action Party initiated by the former Communists Mark Tkachuk and Iurie Muntean. It is interesting to follow the electoral base of these parties and to see if they have power to achieve the set objectives. “If the Government is not changed during the year, the presidential projects will be continued and the opposition parties, especially those of the right, will objectively not have chances of winning the presidential elections,” stated Ernest Vardanean.
Political commentator Victor Ciobanu said that on the left, Renato Usatyi’s Our Party could attract votes from the Party of Socialists. In the previous elections, Our Party showed that it enjoys support in Bălți town and in a large part of the northern districts. Furthermore, the Shor Party could make itself heard at the next presidential elections. No big attention should be devoted to the PPPDA’s call to identify a common, nonparty candidate as the initiative appeared because this party cannot field Andrei Năstase for President.
Former judge of the European Court of Human Rights Stanislav Pavlovschi said the parties of the right do not have arguments that their candidates could present in the presidential elections, unlike the parties of the left. Furthermore, those who will really deal with Moldovan people’s problems will be supported by the people. “Two factors can be mentioned here: the personal confidence in the politician and the extent to which this politician approaches the pressing problems of the population,” noted the jurist.
