The internal political struggle in Moldova was exported to the European Parliament, Deputy Speaker Iurie Leanca, who heads the European People’s Party of Moldova, stated in the talk show “Emphasis on today” on TVR Moldova channel, IPN reports.

According to Iurie Leanca, it is a mistake to impose particular political conditionality elements now in order to obtain financing from the EU. “There were very technical conditions from the very beginning and I would focus mainly on this dimension,” he stated.

“We created these problems and we generated distrust in Brussels, Berlin and Strasbourg and now should do our best to show that we are Europeans not only by appearance, but also by the way in which we want to live in this country.”

Journalist Anatolie Golea said Moldova, being a small country, creates too many problems to the development partners and it seems that this is done intentionally. The parliamentary elections of 2018 will most probably be held under the mixed electoral system and the proportional representation system will not be restored following requests from the European Parliament. “It seems that the politicians in the Republic of Moldova have nothing else to do than to create problems so as to try to solve them later,” stated the journalist.

Before the Eastern Partnership Summit that will take place in Brussels on November 24, the political situation in Moldova was again debated in the European Parliament. The EU’s further financing for Moldova will depend on the way in which Chisinau fulfills the commitments that will be undertaken by a memorandum of understanding that is to be signed by the sides.
