A minority government will be unable to solve the acute problems of the country even if the situation in Parliament was unblocked. Such statements were made in the talk show “Reply” on Prime TV channel, IPN reports.
The dean of the Moldova State University’s Faculty of International Relations and Political Sciences Alexandru Solcan said the formation of a minority alliance was the thing he wanted the least. “If we intend to implement painful reforms that will affect every citizen, a minority government will be unable to cope with them or will cope with difficulty. Also, the formation of this coalition is a great disappointment for the population. The people voted for a pro-European government, but what followed? They should have ultimately identified a compromise,” stated the teacher.
Aurelian Lavric, specialist in politology, considers that pressure will be exerted on the government of Moldova from outside. “They will probably not become involved directly. But it’s not excluded that the European Liberals will exert pressure when different documents concerning Moldova, especially as regards financing, will be put to the vote in the European Parliament. In fact, there are yet chances that the Liberals will take part in governance as the leader of the PL today (January 25 – e.n.) said that they are ready to vote in Iurie Leanca as Premier and to vote for certain laws that will be in the country’s interests. I hope that the pro-European leaders will be ashamed of the European partners and their voters and will find a solution. The country’s acute problems cannot be solved with a minority government,” he said.
Journalist Valentina Ursu, of Radio Free Europe, believes a minority government will not be a long-lasting one. “The activity of a minority government will be hampered rather quickly. I think civil society and society in general should have exerted greater pressure, but Moldovan society remains powerfully divided. These three pro-European leaders should have reached a compromise and should have quarreled between them about how to better govern the country. I want to believe that the PDM and PLDM will continue to negotiate with the PL and will together vote the Cabinet, which is yet the hardest step to be taken,” she stated.
