The Parliament could set the date of the vote to elect the head of state next week, the leader of the parliamentary group of the Democratic Party Marian Lupu, who is the Alliance for European Integration's candidate for president, announced Friday, Info-Prim Neo reports. Marian Lupu said that this subject is to be discussed inside the Alliance and will be then put to the vote in the Parliament. The head of state is elected by 61 votes. The Alliance has 53 MPs and needs 8 more votes. Leading figures of the Communists Party (PCRM), which holds 48 seats of MP, repeatedly said that they will not support the Alliance's candidate for president. After Friday's sitting of the Parliament, Vladimir Turcan, MP on behalf of the PCRM, said that they still want to form a left-wing coalition. Marian Lupu said that it is too late to form such a coalition because the Speaker was already elected. “If I had chosen a guaranteed method for being elected President, I'd have formed this left-wing coalition long ago. As the Democratic Party decided to work as part of the Alliance, it will follow this path even if this involves considerable dangers for the country as the head of state may be not elected and we will again have early elections,” Lupu said. At the same time, Marian Lupu did not exclude a roundtable or any other type of meeting with the PCRM. “The important thing is that all these forms of dialogue produce a certain result,” he said.
