The parliamentary elections of 2018 make the Democratic Party (PDM) and President Igor Dodon to follow different paths and have different interests, political analyst Anatol Taranu stated in the program “People’s Council” on 10TV channel, IPN reports.
Anatol Taranu said we could witness a real war between the two political forces – the PDM and President Igor Dodon. “The problem now is how far Vladimir Plahotniuc is ready to go in the struggle against Igor Dodon. The political situation in the Republic of Moldova is very uncertain from this viewpoint and the anti-Plahotniuc orientation of the opposition of the right, even if it may seem paradoxical, this time advantages Dodon because this cuts the anti-Dodon élan of Plahotniuc,” he stated.
According to the analyst, the pro-European democratic forces in the Republic of Moldova should find a formula to reduce Igor Dodon’s influence to non-dangerous levels for the country’s European course. “The Democratic Party has enormous media possibilities to make Dodon a discredited figure in a short period of time” said Anatol Taranu.
The analyst also said that after the elections of 2018 there will be a coalition government, but it is not known who the allies will be: the PDM with the Party of Socialists, the PDM with the parties of the right or the latter will form a coalition with the Socialists to destroy Vladimir Plahotniuc.
