The Liberal Reformist Party (PLR) didn’t give up the idea of taking part in the parliamentary elections in a bloc, but will not accept their candidates to be simply included on the list of another party, the party’s chairman Ion Hadarca said in the program “Place for dialogue” on the public radio station Radio Moldova, IPN reports.
The leader of the PLR stated that the National Political Council of the Liberal Reformist Party met on September 28 to discuss the party’s participation in the November 30 parliamentary elections. It was decided to form an electoral bloc with right-wing parties, either parliamentary or extraparliamentary such as the National Liberal Party and the Democratic Action Party.
Of the parliamentary parties, the PLR is ready to form an electoral bloc with the Liberal Democratic Party, but will not agree to simply write the party’s candidates on the election list of the PLDM. “The inclusion of our candidates on the list of another party envisions the assimilation of our emblem and other symbols. There appears the problem of the party’s identity, which we want to preserve,” said the chairman of the PLR.
Ion Hadarca also said that keeping the country’s European course is the major pillar of the PLR’s platform, which defines the concrete steps that the party will take to achieve this objective. Among other desiderata of the party are Moldova’s entry into NATO, the election of the head of state by the people’s vote, and the reformation of the prosecution service and the judicial system.
