The discussions centering on the nomination of a common candidate for the presidential elections, held by the Party “Platform Dignity and Truth” , the Party “Action and Solidarity”, the Liberal Democratic Party and the European People’s Party of Moldova (PPEM), were rather simulated and weren’t sincere, ex-Premier Iurie Leanca said in the talk show “Emphasis on today” on TVR Moldova channel, IPN reports.

“For now, we haven’t discussed a platform, the agenda, how to change the system and haven’t agreed what we have to do,” stated the leader of the PPEM.

He noted that even if they agreed not to attack each other, he is permanently attacked by the Platform “Dignity and Truth”. “I’m permanently attacked. It is a concerted attack on the part of the Platform “Dignity and Truth” through Jurnal TV channel, which it controls, and through one more channel. They almost daily state that I’m going to be arrested and that I committed one thing or another,” said the politician.

Referring to the statements of the ex-employee of the National Anticorruption Center Mihail Gofman, who said that Leanca will be the next to be arrested over the theft of the billion, Iurie Leanca said this should have intervened when he held the post of deputy head of the Money Laundering Combating Division. “Where was Gofman during four years? Why didn’t he intervene then? Why doesn’t he make statements at the request of prosecutors?” he asked.
