Head of Parliament Igor Corman said the European parties must form a majority coalition after the parliamentary elections so as to continue the European integration process. The deputy head of the Democratic Party (PDM) made such statements in the program “Fourth Power” on N4 TV channel, IPN reports.
According to the Speaker, who is the third on the Democratic Party’s list of candidates for MP, the people haven’t yet felt the benefits of the reforms, but a stable foundation stone was laid. “I admit that the population is disappointed, but I don’t think that the people do not realize the necessity of integrating into the EU,” he stated.
Igor Corman expressed his conviction that the PDM will enter Parliament. “Polls show that our rating is on the rise. I’m not concerned about the party’s team and about its electoral program. It is exactly what the people want. It should be noted that the people are well informed. I’m glad that the meetings with the voters are constructive and I would like the Parliament’s sittings to take place in the same atmosphere,” he said.
The Speaker also said that the PDM will form a post-electoral coalition only with the parties whose electoral platforms are close to its platform, but the main condition is not to touch the Association Agreement with the EU. “We will hold talks only with the parties that do not intend to impinge on the accord. The continuation of reforms is another condition. We will need a parliamentary majority to go on with the reforms,” stated Igor Corman.
Asked whey the PDM didn’t form an electoral coalition with the other pro-European parties, Corman said that discussions in this respect were held, but they ultimately decided to take part in the elections separately. “We had to find formulas to show to the people that we have common purposes. There was even a common plan, but the parties eventually decided not to form a bloc. Instead, the ruling pro-European parties agreed not to attack each other in the electoral period,” he said.
