The president of honor of the Liberal Party Mihai Ghimpu reacted after Valeriu Munteanu announced that he decided to leave the party. The Liberal leader said Munteanu lies, IPN reports.

“Valeriu, you are yet a liar. Dorin is right. I repeat once again, in the meeting of the Council you spoke the first and I spoke the last. And then tell me who wanted to influence the members of the Council, me or you? The second question is, why do you think that the Council members didn’t take into account what you said and in the end you suggested not taking part in the elections of next February?” Mihai Ghimpu wrote in a posting on Facebook. “We didn’t even discuss the participation on the list of ACUM. That’s why president Dorin Chirtoacă is right about what he said. That’s all for now.”

In a news conference on December 11, Valeriu Munteanu announced his parting from the Liberal Party after working as part of this for 11 years. He said he will support the future bloc ACUM, which, as he considers, represents the united, authentic pro-European, pro-Romania, anti-Putin and anti-duo opposition. According to him, the Liberal leader Mihai Ghimpu does not want the PL to form part of the bloc of the united opposition and history will show why. He noted his biggest regret is for Dorin Chirtoacă who cannot come up with an own view on this crucial issue and obeys the agenda imposed by Mihai Ghimpu.
