Parliament Speaker Andrian Candu, who is the first deputy chairman of the Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM), said he does not believe that one party will be able to win a majority of seats in Parliament after the 2018 legislative elections. Therefore, the parties will have to sit at a table and negotiate a new government, including with the Party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS). However, the PAS leader Maia Sandu said her party will not form an alliance with the PDM. The issue was discussed in a debate program that involved the two on the public TV channel Moldova 1, IPN reports.
According to Andrian Candu, since the PDM was founded, it hasn’t formed alliances with parties of the left. It united only with parties of the right. “You will see if we manage to deliver a lot of results for the country in November 2018. The presidential elections are different from the parliamentary ones. The politicians should act wisely and should not burn all the communication bridges,” stated the Speaker.
Maia Sandu noted that the PAS will not form a coalition with the PDM either before or after the parliamentary elections of 2018. “You have nothing to do with the European values. You will continue to form a coalition with the Socialists together with whom you adopted the law to change the electoral system. We will not form an alliance with you or with the party you represent because you are a danger to the European integration of the Republic of Moldova,” replied the PAS leader.
