Joseph Daul, as the President of the European People’s Party (EPP), calls upon all the pro-European political forces in Moldova to act responsibly and to abandon all the political games, IPN reports.
According to Joseph Daul‘s statement, published on the party’s website, the political situation in the Republic of Moldova is alarming. The no-confidence motion tabled by the anti-European forces, namely the Socialist and the Communist Parties, and which will be voted on by the Parliament on Thursday, is more than a test for the future of the country and its European choice that materialized in the Association Agreement with the EU. This is a decisive moment for Moldova.
“On behalf of the EPP, I call on all the pro-European political forces in Moldova to act responsibly and to abandon all the political games. The Alliance for European Integration (AEI) must be preserved, as it is the only viable option to keep Moldova on the path of reform, development and modernization. It is also the main response to the legitimate demands of the citizens. AEI must be consolidated on a fair and transparent basis and build upon a concrete action plan without blackmailing through a no-confidence vote,” the EPP President said.
“The MPs belonging to the governing majority and who intend to vote with the Socialists and Communists on the no-confidence motion will bear full responsibility for the failure of the Alliance for European Integration. The fall of the government would diminish the country’s European prospects and would drive it into unprecedented economic and social chaos. The Republic of Moldova cannot afford such instability. A vote of confidence in Prime Minister Valeriu Strelet’s government will show Moldova’s commitment to staying on the European path. This is and must remain the main goal of the country, no matter the current political interests of the various parties,” concluded President Joseph Daul.
