The change in the current electoral system is imperative because the country’s problems are mainly related to the political class of Moldova, said experts invited to the program “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.
According to the dean of the State University’s Faculty of International Relations, Political and Administrative Sciences Alexandru Solcan, the political system in Moldova cannot be changed without replacing the electoral system. “The current system favored the political parties and declassed them. We remained without political parties in the true meaning of the word. They were turned into Ltds,” stated Alexandru Solcan. According to him, the old electoral system means that these parties run in elections with electoral lists and form parliaments and governments of Ltd type.
Director of the Market Economy Institute Roman Chirca said the opposition parties want to benefit from the party-list proportional representation system because they do not accept other persons who could overshadow them. “If the opposition is open, we could have an authentic right that deserves to be supported and that can enjoy the support of most of the people,” he stated.
The Democratic Party’s spokesman Vitalie Gamurari said that under international law, it is a violation by the state if this does not fully implement a decision by an international court of law or arbitration court and it is the right of the state to look for solutions to implement an advisory opinionl, including of the International Court of Justice. “We should start from here and do reforms and the problems will then disappear,” stated Vitalie Gamurari.
According to media analyst Cristian Tabara, the pro-European opposition permanently creates the impression that Moldova is on the verge of a catastrophe. “Manipulation surely works and the people are permanently made to think that an imminent catastrophe is hanging over the Republic of Moldova,” said the analyst.
