The Republican Popular Party (PPR) has announced that it will not participate in the July 29 parliamentary elections, Info-Prim Neo reports. “We had talks with the Liberal Democratic Party and the Moldova Noastra Alliance and offered to support them in elections unconditionally, to support a joint list of theirs, but our offer was rejected. We understood that the extra-parliamentary parties do not have common goals,” the party’s leader Nicolae Andronic told a news conference on Wednesday. Andronic said that they did not negotiate with the Liberal Party (PL) because the PPR is in litigation with the Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca, the vice president of the PL. The party accuses the mayor of illegally taking its head office. “I see no reasons for replacing Vladimir Voronin with Dorin Chirtoaca, who also does not observe the law,” Nicolae Andronic said. The PPR leader considers that in the current format no political party is capable of solving the social problems and that the political climate will not change after the July 29 elections. “The election campaign divided the society into Communists and anti-Communists. In such circumstances, the voters have to decide what to do,” the PPR president said. He expressed his skepticism about the Opposition’s chances of polling more votes than in the April elections. In the April 5 elections, the PPR ran under the list of the Centrist Union of Moldova, which did not pass the election threshold.
