Political analyst Vladislav Kulminski, who is a member of the Supreme Security Council, admitted that he was offered to run for MP on behalf of the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) in the July 11 elections, but said that he does not see himself in Parliament, IPN reports.
“Each person should deal with what they like and know to do best. I received this proposal about three months ago from Igor Grosu and the PAS team. I was honored by this proposal, but I do not see myself an MP,” Vladislav Kulminski stated in the talk show “The Forth Estate” on N4 channel.
Kulminski noted that the Republic of Moldova now has a historical chance to develop and modernize owing to President Maia Sandu. Therefore, he will support the reforms done by President Sandu and the pro-presidential party PAS.
“I told them I will help them as much as I can. It’s clear that in the current conditions PAS equals Maia Sandu, but I do not need to be mandatorily present on the list. Each party goes through a process of selecting staff, including at the local level. I didn’t want to take the place of someone who worked at the local level for the party. I didn’t want to cause such anger. I do not see myself a member of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. I’m rather on the executive side,” he said.
Vladislav Kulminski served as an adviser to Maia Sandu on foreign policy and strategic planning when Sandu held the post of Prime Minister. Now he is a member of the Supreme Security Council and this post, according to him, is not remunerated with state budget funds.
