The inflexibility of those who took part in the negotiations led to the situation in which the Government could not be invested, but this situation could have been avoided, the executive director of the Institute of Public Policy Arcadie Barbarosie stated for IPN.
The analyst enumerated several possible steps that the parties will take for the Government to be invested by the second attempt. “The parties could preserve the minority coalition and propose a new candidate for premiership. This would split the Liberal Democratic Party or at least this is what I understood from Iurie Leanca’s statements. A majority coalition with the PL could be formed. The door is open as Mister Ghimpu proposed renegotiating the agreement on the formation of the coalition. A PCRM-PDM-PLDM coalition could also be formed if the PCRM announces its intention to support Moldova’s European course,” stated Arcadie Barbarosie.
He noted that a majority coalition with the Communists would mean their participation in governance, probably by ministerial posts. This will also lead to a split inside the PLDM.
Asked how the pro-European parties would overcome the sensitive subjects in the talks, namely the appointment of the prosecutor general and the distribution of ministerial portfolios, Arcadie Barbarosie said he wants to see first what the PL will ask as namely Mihai Ghimpu expressed readiness to return to the negotiating table.
As regards the naming of a foreign expert as prosecutor general, as the Liberals demand, the analyst noted that this is rather improbable at a time when the tenure of the current prosecutor general hasn’t expired. “This is not a solution. There is no political will and no prosecutor will solve the problems until all the institutions become functional. I think this is populism on the part of Mister Ghimpu,” he stated.
He added that Moldova needs the consultancy of the EU for implementing the justice reform and it is important not who will make the changes, but who will want to make them.
