The Liberal Reformist Party (PLR) is ready to take part in the elections in a bloc with a ruling party or an extraparliamentary center-right party, the party’s leader Ion Hadarca said in the program “Moldova live” on the public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.

According to Ion Hadarca, the PLR is ready to consider proposals and to form an electoral bloc, but is also inviting personalities who would like to run on the party’s ticket.

The Liberal-Reformist leader does not rule out the possibility of forming an electoral bloc with the PLDM, but said that they didn’t yet receive proposals and didn’t hold discussions on the issue, while the media reports that the PLR joined the PLDM are false. “The media started to report such things after we signed the agreement on the constitution of the government coalition. We did it then in order to avoid early elections. The PLR has an identity and we must weigh up the pros and cons of a possible merger,” he stated.

Asked to comment on Liberal activists’ assertions that he wants to return to the PL, which were made after he congratulated his former party chief Mihai Ghimpu on his reelection as leader of the Liberal Party, Ion Hadarca said he did it for human and common sense reasons. “He was reelected as chairman and I congratulated him. This does not mean that I kneeled in front of him,” he stated.

In the same program, Ion Hadarca noted that they support the PLDM and together with it will plead for holding a referendum on electing the head of state directly by the people simultaneously with the parliamentary elections. “The power belongs to the people and the people have the right to choose their administration,” he said.
