Alliance for European Integration cannot be broken up, Serafim Urecheanu

First deputy speaker Serafim Urecheanu said that the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) is a durable coalition that cannot be broken up as it was formed by competent people willing to democratize Moldova and offer the people decent living conditions, Info-Prim Neo reports. Urecheanu said that his appointment as first deputy speaker was the decision of the AEI and it did not bewilder the Communists. “They know that I am a calculated man who cannot be frightened, blackmailed and bought. I was never afraid of the Communists, not even when I had been through courts during 1,800 days,” Serafim Urecheanu said at the radio station “Vocea Basarabiei”. According to him, while he had been harassed he gained experience and willingness to actively engage in reforming the prosecutor’s office, the legal system and the police so that the Moldovan people are not oppressed, but protected from the representatives of these institutions Urecheanu said that Vladimir Voronin is the one who caused early elections by irresponsible statements on the night of April 6. “It was a bomb that Voronin placed under his own party. As a result of these humiliating statements, the Opposition joined forces and renounced different advantages in favor of removing the Communists from power,” he said. The new first deputy speaker praised the Communists for their behavior at the September 10 sitting of the Parliament and their willingness to cooperate, voicing hope that there are decent people and real patriots among the Communists, who want to get free from Voronin’s authoritarianism and will vote for the candidate proposed by the AEI for president. “After Voronin left the assembly hall, the Communist had a more civilized behavior. The fact that Voronin has not been fielded as candidate for member of the Parliament’s Standing Bureau shows that the Communists want to exclude him from the activity of the legislature and the country,” Urecheanu said. Speaking about the Alliance’s priorities, Urecheanu said that they aim to transform Moldova into a state of law, deideologize the army, the police, the prosecutor’s office and the legal system, remove the system of visas for Romanian travelers, sign the Treaty on Small-Scale Border Traffic with Romania, resume the talks with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in order to cover the budget deficit, which will amount to 6 billion lei, pay the over 2 billion lei to the economic entities that built facilities for the Communists in electoral interests in Moldovan settlements, unblock the export, first of all of grapes, lift the restrictions on the export of gran, protect the national producers by diminish the exaggerated imports controlled by certain clans. “The AEI will work to take the country out of the disaster into which it was thrown by the Communists and out of the crisis,” said Serafim Urecheanu, who was elected the first deputy head of Parliament on September 10.
