The Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) will take part in the negotiations on the formation of a parliamentary coalition for voting in the Government, but will insist on the conditions it put forward earlier. The decision was made public by the party’s acting leader Valeriu Strelet after the December 13 meeting of the PLDM’s National Political Council, IPN reports.

Valeriu Strelet said the stage of consultations with the parties that expressed their readiness to form a ruling alliance for forming a Government able to implement the Association Agreement with the EU is over.

According to him, the National Political Council decided that the PLDM will take part in the negotiations that will follow, but will insist on the objectives formulated by the Lib-Dems earlier. These are: to remove the independent institutions from political and party captivity by dismissing the administration of the most odious institutions blamed for allowing the bank frauds; to name an apolitical person as Prime Minister who will act freely and responsibly and will not be forced to implement illegal provisions of different forms of coalition agreements, and to re-form the government and promote a new attitude to governance.

The acting leader of the PLDM said the party will not accept ‘the right to the first option’ based on the so-called effective number of seats because this principle encourages political corruption and stimulates political switching.

The groups of negotiators on the part of the PLDM will submit proposals and invite the parties with which they held consultations to meet as soon as possible. “We could meet tomorrow, in the first half of the day, so as to inform them about our decisions and to make everything possible to reach a compromise that will be based on the final objectives that we proposed initially and on which we will further insist,” stated Valeriu Strelet.

He noted that the non-acceptance of the final objectives put forward by the PLDM will generate the risk of calling early parliamentary elections, which the negotiation partners will have to assume, adding that about one four of the members of the PLDM’s National Political Council pronounced against any negotiations with the PDM.
