The fielding of Vlad Plahotniuc for the post of Prime Minister is poisoned present made by the politicians to the people of Moldova, Romanian MEP Monica Macovei says in a press statement. According to her, there are ‘noxious’ politicians in Moldova too, and not only in the camp of the Communists, but also among declared pro-European parties, with Vlad Plahotniuc being one of them, IPN reports.

“The pact with the Communists is a big step backward taken by some of the declared pro-European political leaders who thus manage to discredit themselves and to generate questions in Brussels. I hope we will not have to ascertain that the Russians succeeded in destabilizing the Republic of Moldova,” reads the statement.

Today, January 13, the Democratic Party of Moldova proposed Vlad Plahotniuc for the post of Prime Minister. President Nicolae Timofti rejected the candidate.
