Alliance for European Integration is Moldova’s only chance to get rid of communism, first Speaker of Parliament

The formation of the government coalition called the Alliance for European Integration is a very important event for the whole society, considers professor Alexandru Mosanu, who was the first Speaker of Moldova’s Parliament, Info-Prim Neo reports. According to Mosanu, the Alliance for European Integration must be encouraged, not criticized. “The society should help preserve the cohesion of the three Liberal parties that showed they are real heroes on May 20 and on June 3 and of the four Democratic parties because Marian Lupu is the one who caused a huge opening in the PCRM monolith and therefore Moldova could get out of the hole where it was thrown by the Communists,” Alexandru Mosanu said, adding that this coalition is Moldova’s only chance to return to normality and get rid of communism. The first Speaker of Parliament said that the statement on the formation of the coalition makes the people hope for a better future. However, he stated that the four parties in their statement did not refer to political pluralism, which is extremely necessary given that the Communists have violated the human rights and freedoms and the national and spiritual values during eight years, imposing their ideology as state ideology. “The five announced objectives are the skeleton of the future government program.” Alexandru Mosanu said that the Alliance for European Integration is the second democratic coalition in Moldova’s new history. The first alliance called the Alliance for Democracy and Reform (ADR) was made by democratic parties in 1998. “The Alliance for Democracy and Reform managed to propel the country forward after a four-year decline during the Agrarians’ rule,” Mosanu said about the alliance that he headed. He also said that the ADR did not survive because it was betrayed, but not by Dumitru Diacov, as the Communists maintain, but by Iurie Rosca, who was instructed by Petru Lucinschi and by Vladimir Voronin. Afterward, they attracted the traitors from democratic parties. Mosanu said that he is impressed by the Europeans’ tolerance of the dictatorial regime of Voronin in a country that borders the EU. He stressed that the Europeans probably counted on forces from inside that could make changes, but did not assume that “the people in our country do not decide by themselves as they are influenced by malefic forces from outside.” Alexandru Mosanu considers that many of the problems faced by the Moldovan society are due to the fact that the communism was not condemned.
