The political year 2006 was difficult because of the negative vote of April 4, 2005, the leaders of the extraparliamentary political parties consider. [Moldova remains broken apart in 2006] According to the Humanist Party of Moldova (PUM), the country remained broken apart in 2006 and the government did not manage to solve this problem. The Transnistrian crisis deepened. The situation of the civil society did not improve. A new generation has grown up in the Transnistrian region. It is educated in an anti-Moldova and anti-Romania style. All these confirmed the inappropriate policy of the Government as regards the left bank of Nistru, considers Ion Mereuta, the chairman of PUM. The situation on the right bank of the river did not change much too. Several parties appeared on the political spectrum. This phenomenon is caused both by the activism of the civil society and the betrayal of April 4 that generated distrust and driven the population to despair. After April 4, the parliamentary parties lost the trust of the population. The communist party has also lost its authority because of the inefficient government and because the second mandate of President Voronin will end soon. According to the party, the foreign policy promoted by the government is ambiguous and as a result Moldova could find itself isolated, despite Europeanisation and globalisation. This deficient foreign policy tensioned the relations with Romania, Ukraine, Russia and disturbed the export relations of Moldova (the wine crisis and of the food products etc), fact that affected the business environment. In 2007 we should not expect a better situation. The life standards will worsen, the effects of the economic crisis will become obvious, and the budgetary plans in the real sector of the economy will be compromised. The social sector will also suffer, in light of the fact that the inflation goes up. Moldova will experience demographic and labour force crises. The migration of the population will continue. Moldova will be transformed into a “social” state and “the economic state” will die before coming to light. Thus, we can not hope for foreign or local investments. At the same time, the law-based state will not function, and the corruption will affect more the government and the society. [The collaboration of PCRM, PPCD and PD was reconfirmed in 2006] Nicolae Andronic, the chairman of the Popular Republican Party says that the tight collaboration of the Communist Party (Vladimir Voronin), People’s Christian Democrat Party (Iurie Rosca) and the Democrat Party (Dumitru Diacov) was fully reconfirmed. They voted together the Budget; adopted important decisions such as the Audiovisual Code etc. When President Voronin speaks about PPCD and PDM as “constructive opposition” he cheats. In fact, it is the government coalition PCRM-PPCD-PDM which runs Moldova. It will “celebrate” the second anniversary on April 4 2007. For PPR, as an opposition party, 2006 was first of all important because Mihail Formuzal, the chairman of the Republican Council of PPR won the elections in Gagauzia. On other hand, PPR together with the Centrist Union of Moldova and the Social Democrat Party managed to create The “November 1 2006” Committee – joint political body with consultative statute the aim of each is to oppose the usurpation of power by President Vladimir Voronin. According to PPR, the main political event of 2007 will be the local elections. The Party is seriously preparing for the event. Teams have been created in a series of raions. There goal is to win the elections in the chosen raions. The elections that took place in Gagauzia on December 3 proved that PCRM can be defeated. [2006 proved communists’ incapacity to govern] For Vitalia Pavlicenco, the leader of the National Liberal Party, 2006 confirmed communists’ incapacity to govern and administrate, and this will end with the failure of the present government. The break-up of the so-called democrat political forces continued with the support of the communists as the majority coalition continued to vote, with few exceptions, the laws promoted by the communist government in order to fulfil narrow interests. The good laws on the other hand, examined only due to the engagements made in front of the Western partners, are not implemented. Speaker Marian Lupu is concerned with the internal battles for the inheritance of the presidential and party throne. The partnership of April 4, 2005, that perpetuated the communist regime, failed. Pavlicenco believes that in 2007 the political battle that already started, if speaking about “Antena C” and “Euro TV”, will become tenser. The local elections are coming and the public and politic life will enliven, many things will be disclosed and the process will be a rehearsal for 2009. The collapse of the communism in Gagauzia is a positive sign. On the whole, we have an interesting situation in Moldova. There are Russian anti-Voronin forces, as well as strong Romanian anti-Voronin forces. But there will never be cooperation between them because they have different standpoints on the development of the country. According to Pavlicenco, the Tarlev Government will be changed, PCRM will seek to use the Transnistrian ace and to eliminate the centre-right liberal forces, and the fight against political opponents will intensify. However, the proximity of EU will diminish the influence of the communists and if the federalisation of Moldova will be voiced, PPCD will use the “mea culpa” argument as regards the partnership of April 4, 2005, the cited source said. [The project “Moldova – Sovereign State” failed] 15 years after the proclamation of independence and 5 years of communists’ government, one can say that the political project entitled “Sovereign and Independent Moldova”, which was created on August 27, 1991 and was confirmed through the Constitution adopted on July 29, 1994, is coming to an end, Valentin Krilov, executive secretary of the Socialists’ Party of Moldova “Patria-Rodina” stated. According to him, the internal strategy promoted by Chisinau in what concerns the Transnistrian conflict led to a deadlock. In change for the Moldovan patriotism, which must have been the ground for the settlement of serious state problems, the society pleads more and more for a cynical pragmatism. This fact is proved by the active part of the population and is based on destructive values, coming from abroad. The internal situation can be changed only by changing the present political configuration. In this context, we witnessed a positive event in 2006. The communist party lost the elections in Gagauzia, moment that will mark the beginning of the failure of the regime headed by PCRM and PPCD. At the local elections in 2007, including the elections for the Popular Assembly of Gagauzia, both the politicians and the voters from Moldova have real chances to change the political situation by changing the political construction at local level, Krilov added.
