Conservative Party calls to boycott elections

The Conservative Party (PC) will not run in the snap elections and calls on citizens to boycott the July 29 poll, in order to have repeated elections with a higher turnout. PC leader Natalia Nirca explains the gesture by her wish to cut back suspicions of the alleged pro-Communist orientation of her party. “Unfortunately these accusations come from the opposition parties from the parliament. Instead of coming with a unifying message, we swap accusations. That is why the PC has decided not to go with its own list for the early elections for the parliament,” Nirca told a news conference hosted by Info-Prim Neo, on June 24. “In the situation when the electoral threshold is not attained, if the non-Communist voters boycott the vote on July, the poll will be held again in two weeks,” Natalia Nirca said. Most probably, the repeated election may take place in the second half of August, a more convenient period for the democratic opposition, because the Moldovans working in European countries will return for vacations and will be able to vote, Natalia Nirca specified. Earlier the PC called on all the opposition parties to go with a single list in the elections.
