The leader of the Liberal Party Mihai Ghimpu considers things stirred now that the Liberal Democratic Party decided to take part in the negotiations . After the meeting with representatives of the PLDM on December 1, Ghimpu said that the Lib-Dems will yet have discussions with the Democrats and Iurie Leanca’s group and afterward they will all sit at the negotiating table, IPN reports.
“I want December 1 to be a nice day in our history, when foundations will be laid for forming the government and the parliamentary majority, for undertaking reforms and improving the living conditions of the people,” noted Mihai Ghimpu.
The Liberals’ leader stated that in the meeting they discussed the nomination of a candidate for premiership, but the PL will provide an answer in this regard after the party’s Political Bureau holds discussions on the issue. It’s hard to say how an apolitical person can be named as Premier, as the PLDM demands, when the candidate will be ultimately named also by a party. It will be difficult to reach consensus on this, but a decision will be taken in a meeting that will involve all the sides.
The leader of the PLDM Valeriu Strelet said that today they had the first round of discussions with the PL, where they identified the common positions so as to be able to form a majority coalition and vote in a Government that will keep the European integration course. The PLDM reiterated its position that a plan of action needs to be thought up for breaking the deadlock and freeing the state institutions from political control. They insist on the appointment of an apolitical Premier and on the application of the zero principle, when the participants in the discussions claim no state post.
Initially, the PLDM announced that it will not attend the negotiations alongside the PDM, but the party’s National Political Council on November 30 decided that the Lib-Dems will take part in the negotiations and in the formation of a parliamentary majority so that a new Government could be voted in, but will insist on the desiderata announced earlier.
