The initiative to reform the Liberal Party (PL) is a scenario prepared by Moscow, together with Petru Lucinschi and Ion Hadarca, the party’s leader Mihai Ghimpu considers. He said that Ion Hadarca died for him and he does not want to hear or see him in the party any longer, IPN reports.
In the program “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, Mihai Ghimpu said that nobody from outside will be accepted into the PL from now on. He expressed his disappointment at the fact that MP Ana Gutu criticizes his actions. But he bought her brilliants on her birthday. According to the Liberal, things in the PL started to change when he left for Brussels, but also on the day when the censure motion was to be passed. “Ana Gutu began to defend Vlad Filat, while Ion Hadarca said that we must be neutral. I had a row with her,” he stated.
Ghimpu also said that the Liberal Party on April 12 had a meeting, where he told the MPs that the PL cannot vote for Vlad Filat as Premier. “How can we name a corrupt person as Premier? He destroyed the BEM, corrupted the Main State Tax Inspectorate. How can we win the future elections? Petru Lucinschi directs things at the instruction of the Kremlin. He caught Filat in a trap,” he stated.
According to the Liberal leader, some of the party members received offers from Moscow and couldn’t turn them down. “Russia has people who can be infiltrated into parties for 100 years on. I feel sorry for them. Some of them will wake up tomorrow,” stated Ghimpu.
He said that the door of the PL is open to the former allies, but Vlad Filat must not enter or go out through this door. “Even if we are in the opposition, we will vote for everything that concerns the European integration. But we will be very tough towards smuggling and corruption,” stressed Ghimpu.
A number of MPs, ministers, deputy ministers and heads of the local organizations of the PL constituted the Council for Reforming the Liberal Party and demanded that the party should return to the negotiating table so as to agree a candidate for premiership and avoid the early elections. They also demanded replacing Mihai Ghimpu with Dorin Chirtoaca as party leader.
