The president of honor of the Democratic Party (PDM) Dumitru Diacov considers the formation of a minority government is not a suitable solution for Moldova. The politician stated his opinion in an interview for the publication “Timpul de dimineata” “(Morning time”), being quoted by IPN.
Dumitru Diacov voiced hope that even if the negotiations on the creation of a government coalition take longer than expected, the solution will be found in the format announced earlier – the PLDM-PDM-PL – and the support of the PCRM for a minority government formed by the PLDM and PDM will not be needed. “There are minority governments in the world, with conditional support. This means the absence of a clear majority and powerful reciprocal commitments. We need a broad consensus about the European integration and I think that a minority government is no at all a good solution for Moldova,” he stated.
Diacov noted that the conditional support that the PCRM can provide to the government formed by the three pro-European parties can contribute to solving a number of acute social problems, including the ensuring of social cohesion, political stability and the continuation of the country’s European course.
“The idea was to invite the Communists to the talks of the three parties as the government will need the broader support of the population. We do not need two aggressive ruling parties. As it is now hard to have discussions with Igor Dodon, a constructive opposition and a destructive one would be a solution for the future government. In the European countries, the opposition sees the country’s future practically in the same way as the government, at least from strategic viewpoint. The divided state is a fundamental problem in Moldova. If we cannot calm down the people based on the Russian or Romanian idea, we must do something to ensure stability in Moldova,” stated Dumitru Diacov.
According to him, they do not consider the possibility of fully including the PCRM in government. Such a solution is possible if the PL, which creates more difficulties in the talks than the PDM and PLDM, leaves the negotiations. There were held no discussions to convince the Communists to join the coalition, but the early elections would be a catastrophe for Moldova as the country will not have a government for at least another half a year. The responsibility should be assumed by all the parties that entered Parliament.
Dumitru Diacov stated that the idea of inviting the Communists to discussions appeared after the elections. “The election results showed that 38% of the voters actually support the three coalition parties. A government with such support cannot function normally. Thus, we must look for broader support among the population and make sure that the government and the opposition cooperate successfully in a move to protect the state,” he said.
