Members of the Liberal Reformist Party (PLR), including co-chairwoman Ana Gutu and a number of deputy chairpersons, demand that the party should withdraw from the electoral race. They said that the PLR didn’t manage to gain a good standing on the political arena of Moldova, while polls show that it would win only 1% of the vote in the coming elections, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué of the PLR members.

“By the poor performance in the current elections, the PLR will do nothing but open electoral opportunities for anti-European and anti-national political players of the left. The strategy-related mistakes and the lack of vision of the current administration of the PLR revealed the inability to create a national dignity movement to promote liberalism and real reforms aimed mainly at strengthening the political right as a viable alternative for Moldova’s future,” said the members of the PLR.

The signatories of the communiqué call on the party’s chairman Ion Hadarca and the other colleagues to withdraw the Liberal Reformist Party from the campaign preceding the November 30 parliamentary elections, in favor of the pro-European parties with real chances.

They also call on the pro-European voters to show maximum responsibility and not to waste their votes on populist parties that have no chances of entering the future Parliament.

The communiqué was signed by MP and co-chairwoman of the PLR Ana Gutu, head of the PLR’s local organization in Ungheni Anatol Arhire, Deputy Minister of the Environment Dorin Dusciac, deputy chairman of the PLR Gheorghe Salaru, deputy chairman of the PLR Vasile Grama, Deputy Minister of Youth and Sport Sergiu Stanciu, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Sergiu Ghetiu, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration Tudor Ulianovschi, and head of the PLR’s youth organization Maxim Gutu.
