Prime Minister Pavel Filip says Moldova’s next President must be a pro-European. In an interview for IPN on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Moldova’s Independence, he said that Moldova needs an active, serious, pro-European President, who will unite the reformist forces in our society around constructive goals instead of destructive ones.
The next President must be a supporter of the European direction of development, insisted the PM. According to him, we need coherence in order to develop and this means all the forces in the country must move in the same direction. “And this direction must be towards the EU. I have no doubts about it”, said the head of the government.
In his opinion, despite its current troubles, the EU remains a pole of attraction for countries like Moldova because it means freedom, safety, prosperity and the rule of law, things we want to have here as well.
“I want a President who will work together with the Parliament and the Cabinet in order to accelerate our European integration, not a President who will change our direction again or who will create chaos by sabotaging the government, by calling people in the streets and asking for early parliamentary elections”, said Filip.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the declaration of Moldova’s Independence, IPN News Agency decided to depict the portrait of the current Republic of Moldova. For the purpose, we challenged a number of people, including state officials, politicians, businessmen, civil rights activists and persons without posts and titles, but who have what to say. The generic picture is entitled “Thoughts about and for Moldova”.
