EU suggests Moldovan political forces should group together, repeat from 02.10.2010

The European Union believes that the political forces in the Republic of Moldova should group together based on the option they advocate for, or “the momentous alternative they propose to Moldovan society”, stated Romanian MEP Adrian Severin, the vice-president of the Socialists & Democrats Group, at the end of a two-day visit to Moldova, Info-Prim Neo reports. The MEP argued that the forthcoming parliamentary elections will be crucial as Moldova will have to choose between two paths of destiny, “between future and past, between stagnation and development, between a modus vivendi characterized by low levels of dynamism with a future somewhere at the periphery of European history and a model characterized by European modernity”. Considering that each political party is having its separate electoral slate and is on its own, the EU suggests that one-against-all battles are not appropriate at the moment. “There should be a struggle for a certain alternative where all the left-wing or right-wing forces should stick together, so that they can pave their path toward a potential shared government”, said Adrian Severin. “We are extremely concerned about the eventuality that the electoral animosities might grind the political elite and split the political forces along other lines than these alternatives of destiny, of past and future, the crucial alternative of the modus vivendi which, in fact, is at stake at the forthcoming elections”, said the MEP.
