Marian Lupu, who is running in the October 30 presidential elections, banks a lot on the fact that he is the candidate of the Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM), which assumed responsibility for governance at the beginning of this year. Lupu provided a series of relevant arguments in an interview for IPN News Agency, which was published on Wednesday, October 5.

“Don’t forget that I’m the candidate of the PDM, the main ruling pro-European party and according to voters’ preferences. It is the party that assumed this role at the start of this year and showed that it can govern efficiently. This thing was clearly confirmed by the foreign partners, from Europe up to the U.S. By good cooperation with the Government and Parliament, I will fulfill the commitments I make before the voters,” stated Marian Lupu.

According to him, only a President who cooperates with the main state institutions can solve something and can do many good things. “What can the candidates who announce that generating a political crisis is the first thing they will do when they become President do? But they will be unable to do this as we will make sure to maintain a stable parliamentary alliance. But they will do harm. Such a crisis could bring again months and years of instability and the investments and economy will be paralyzed. This means direct impact on the people, both those who can work and especially those who are socially deprived. We only started to rehabilitate the economy after it was left in the situation when there was no money for salaries and pensions. Imagine what direct negative effects the people will experience if we return to political scandals,” said the PDM’s candidate for the office of President.

Marian Lupu noted that Moldova does not need a Head of State with dictatorial behavior or people who are against the system, who do not realize the role of the institutions, or candidates who are unable to honorably represent the country in the international relations. “I already made a call to the other candidates to show decency and common sense and responsibility in relation to the national interest. But, regrettably, they are busy making electoral statements and with PR, especially in the international press, by which they do a lot of harm to the Republic of Moldova,” he stated.
