The Liberals will not form part of the Moldovan parliamentary delegation that will take part in the March 27 solemn sitting in Bucharest, where the union centenary will be marked, because this will be headed by Speaker of Parliament Andrian Candu, which is inacceptable, according to the Liberal Party (PL). The Liberal leader Mihai Ghimpu told a news conference that the members of the PL cannot go to Bucharest alongside a person who does not recognize the union of March 27, 1918, which was annulled by no one, IPN reports.
“In what status does Candu go to Bucharest? The Democratic Party and its administration have nothing to do with our past, present and future. They are interested in power and money only,” stated Mihai Ghimpu.
He disapproved of Andrian Candu’s refusal to put to the vote in Parliament a number of proposals formulated by the Liberals in connection with the union centenary. “The Liberal group proposed a bill to name 2018 the Union Year. We then submitted another bill to convoke a festive sitting on March 27. These weren’t put to the vote. The bill to vote the Union Statement on March 27 was also rejected. We presented another bill as they didn’t want to offer us the assembly hall to hold a meeting on the union. We found out that the Parliament of Romania suggested that the solemn sitting on March 27 should be held in Chisinau, but they rejected this proposal,” said the Liberal leader.
Corina Fusu, of the PL, said all the governments that ruled after Moldova declared its independence were deleterious as they lied to the people. “We have cowardly governments. We have duplicitous mentality in society, between the West and the East, Moldova and Brussels, Moldova and Bucharest. They managed to also disappoint our partners from the EU, which said they no longer understand what is going on in the Republic of Moldova,” she stated.
At the March 27 solemn sitting of the Parliament of Romania dedicated to the union centenary, Moldova will be represented by a parliamentary delegation and a governmental one. Speaker Andrian Candu, who will lead the parliamentary delegation, said he will give a speech in the meeting. The delegation consists of representatives of parties that expressed their willingness to take part in the event. Among these are MPs of the Democratic Party, the European People’s Party of Moldova and of the Liberal Democratic Party, not yet of the Liberal Party.
