Moldovan opposition's victory – a clear vote for Europe, German MPs

“Moldova's democratic and European future is now in the hands of the PLDM, PL, AMN and PDM,” maintain German parliamentarians from the Bundestag. The statement has been signed by Manfred Grund (CDU/CSU), Michael Link (FDP), Markus Meckel (SPD) and Rainder Steenblock (Alliance 90/the Greens,) Info-Prim Neo reports. The MPs say the democratic forces in Moldova have managed to win a victory over the Communists Party (PCRM), in government for 8 years, in very complication campaign conditions. “The PDM's entrance with 13 seats in the Parliament, under the leadership of Marian Lupu, has been a determining factor in the opposition's gaining the majority,” the statement reads. Setting up a stable coalition government, with those 53 seats of the democratic opposition, is not an easy task. According to the German MPs, this entails a high level of conscientiousness and responsibility on behalf of all the political actors. “As long as a new president is not elected (61 votes are needed), Moldova will not be able to overcome the constitutional crisis. It asks for a new integrating policy from the new government and from the other political camp, and a high level of availability for compromise, both on the part of the parties in opposition, and of the Communists, which, having 48 seats in the new parliament, still are the strongest faction,” the German MPs say. They also talk about the need of re-launching Moldova's cooperation with the European partners. “A decisive step in this respect will be stopping the unequal treatment of the EU citizens, after the unjust imposition of visas for Romania,” the statement reads. The German deputies considers that in the July 29 poll, the Moldovan voters gave a clear vote for the European integration, which will decisively influence the country's domestic and foreign policies.
