The president of the social political movement “The European Action” (MAE), Anatol Petrencu, has sent a letter to the head of the Delegation of the European Commission to Moldova, Cesare de Montis, expressing his regret and apologizing to the EU citizens, “in the name of the Moldovans, for the way in which the Communist leadership understands to observe the signed international accords.” Anatol Petrencu read out his letter at a news conference hosted by Info-Prim Neo, on Tuesday, March 31. “The MAE considers that the Communist regime's latest actions of hampering European citizens to enter Moldova do not represent the Moldovan people's will,” Petrencu said. He has referred to hundreds of Romanian citizens, who had been prevented by Moldovan border guards last week to enter Moldova, a move still unexplained by the Moldovan authorities. “We feel disgraced that the present regime resorts to such kind of actions aimed at intimidating citizens, in full swing of the electoral campaign,” the letter reads. The MAE members, as a sign of solidarity with the European citizens who were not let into Moldova, will bear an armband, till the end of the campaign, having the European Union's insignia and reading “No to corruption! Yes to EU!” Anatol Petrencu and the MAE candidates for the parliament, Vitalia Pavlicenco and Alexandra Can, put on their banderoles right at the news conference. When asked by Info-Prim Neo to comment on the efficiency of the international observers in preventing to gerrymander the elections, a number of parties keep talking about, Vitalia Pavlicenco has said: “Frankly speaking I'm disappointed with the performance of international observers for now.” “However I have the impression that the Communists Party is somewhat afraid that the stance of some international observers and Moldovan NGOs monitoring the elections has grown more active lately. They are probably afraid these elections will not be recognized as free and democratic,” Pavlicenco has added. Anatol Petrencu has said that is why the authorities had invited observers from the CIS, so that the latter should say the elections will have been democratic, in case the Western observes maintain the contrary. The MAE eyes it as very important the evaluation to be given to the elections by the observers from the local NGOs, from Coalition 2009, “since the international observers always say their appreciations after the local ones,” the MAE leader said. The MAE declares April 5 as “a symbolical day against corruption.” In case the PCRM is ousted from power on April 5, this day could become a national day of curbing corruption, the speakers said. The MAE focused, in the electoral campaign, namely on unveiling and countering corruption and collected over 60,000 signatures of the citizens willing to do so.
