The Dignity and Truth Platform (PDA) party said it “took note” of the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM)’s proposal to discuss a joint presidential candidate as well as of Action and Solidarity Party (PAS)’s response, which described the proposal as “tardy and without a future.”

PDA went on to recall that in recent years it has repeatedly “pleaded for the unification of all the right-wing parties and promotion of a common candidate for President,” but has been rejected.

“Sadly, the Solution proposed by PDA, which would guarantee the removal of Igor Dodon and PSRM from power and would consolidate pro-European and national parties ahead of early or regular legislative elections, has not been accepted by either PAS or other political actors identifying as pro-Europeans or pro-unification,” reads PDA’s statement.
