PPCD candidates propose solutions to avoid possible political crisis
The top seventh candidates for MP on behalf of the Christian Democratic People’s Party suggest solutions for avoiding a possible political crisis after the elections.
“Moldova is a parliamentary republic. But it did not reach the level of such parliamentary republics as Italy, Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, the Czech Republic of Greece. Therefore, we should complete the reform initiated in 2000 as this reform can help Moldova become a democracy like the European ones,” Victor Ciobanu, who is the second on the PPCD’s electoral list, told a news conference on July 20, Info-Prim Neo reports.
For the head of state not to become a dictator his powers should be diminished. The President should not have the right to dissolve the Parliament as it is elected by the people and only the people can dissolve it, if need be. The head of state should only initiate a referendum and if the people decide that the Parliament can continue work, the head of state should resign, the PPCD candidates consider.
According to them, the President’s power to propose and dismiss the Prime Minister should be transferred to the parliamentary majority.
The PPCD candidates propose electing the head of state in three stages: initially by 61 votes; if not elected – by 52 votes; and the last attempt – by 26 votes. They say that the political organizations should not field their own candidates for the post of President as the head of state should not be a member of political parties, but of the academic circle.
