Tens of local councils from various districts of the country are continuing to adopt declarations in support of Moldova's European course, condemning the “separatism promoted by the Party of Communists”. The statements are adopted on an initiative by local councilors from the Democratic Party and the Liberal-Democratic Party, IPN learned from a press release of PDM.

Such declarations have been adopted by local elected authorities from the districts od Drochia, Cimislia, Orhei, Causeni and Singerei. The villages of Cenac, Javgur and Porumbrei in Cimislia district, Bursuceni village in Sangerei district, the village of Salcuta and the Causeni district councilors, as well as those from Orhei, have all denounced “actions that promote separatism and fuel division within society”.

Councilors from Petreni, Moara de Piatra, Popestii de Sus, Antoneuca, Tarigrad, Sofie and Chetrosu in Drochia district have said in their statements that Moldova is a sovereign, independent, unitary and indivisible state and condemned the actions meant to destabilize the situation and to block Moldova's European course of development.

In Criuleni district, local authorities from 14 villages have signed public declarations condemning the “intentional division of society” and showing support for the country's European course. The call was taken on by local elected officials from Sadova village, Calarasi district (the birthplace of Socialist leader Igor Dodon), Milestii Mici commune in Ialoveni district and the town councilors in Singerei.

Previously, councilors from Chisinau's suburban councils of Durlesti, Cricova, Vadul lui Voda and Cruzesti had similar statements.

The public statements signed by representatives of the local public authorities condemned the actions fueling separatism, destabilizing the situation in the country. They also affirm their support for closer relations with the EU and for developing a local administration model that would help Moldova's modernization and the construction of an European state.

According to some political leaders, such declarations will continue to appear at an even greater frequency. They come in response to the unauthorized referendums in the autonomy of Gagauzia, which were supported and co-organized by the Party of Communists and the Party of Socialists, and to the Socialists' initiative of holding local referendums to join the Customs Union.
