The Liberal parliamentary group will vote the PLDM’s candidate for premiership only within an alliance between the PLDM, PDM and PL, the leader of the PL Mihai Ghimpu said after the consultations held with President Nicolae Timofti on February 14, IPN reports.

He also said that Moldova needs reforms that can be done only together with the PL, not yet with the PCRM with which the two pro-European parties formed a tacit alliance. “If they do not want to govern in concert with us, let it be. But reforms with the Communist cannot be done,” he stated.

Mihai Ghimpu noted he does not know personally the PLDM’s candidate for premiership Chiril Gaburici. He said he asked Nicolae Timofti to check the integrity of this candidate before signing the decree to nominate him officially.

On February 12, the Leanca 2 Government garnered 42 of the minimum 51 votes needed to be invested.
