The Party “Platform Dignity and Truth” (PPDA) invites the reformist and anti-oligarchic parties to initiate discussions and identify a common candidate for the presidential elections. It also calls on the parties to work out strategies for provoking early parliamentary elections so that these are held simultaneously with the presidential ones. The discussions were scheduled for June 20, IPN reports.
The party’s head Andrei Nastase, in a news conference at IPN, said the presidential elections will not be sufficient for demolishing the oligarchic regime established in the Republic of Moldova. Holding early legislative elections simultaneously with the presidential ones is the only solution for preventing the authoritarian regime from strengthening itself.
“The latest actions of the illegitimate government, especially the definitive capturing of the Ministry of the Interior, show once against that the Republic of Moldova is close to witnessing the establishment of unprecedented dictatorship. A number of very serious things happened in the country’s political sphere during several months,” stated Andrei Nastase.
According to him, the basic human rights to freedom of movement and assembly are violated. The political opposition and protest movement started to be intimidated, including by the illegal arrest of the four peaceful protesters. Mayors representing different parties and other inconvenient public servants are forced to join the Democratic Party by being blackmailed and corrupted.
“Using illegal economic instruments, including the commercial rebate of about 80% on the broadcasting publicity market and falsification of data about audience, by fully controlling the Broadcasting Coordination Council and Competition Council, the criminal power eliminates the last free and independent media outlets,” stated Andrei Nastase.
To find out the real wish of the voters, the leader of the PPDA called on the people to become involved in discussions through social networking sites and to publish the characteristics and qualities that they would like the future Head of State to have on these sites. “The goal is to facilitate the identification of the profile of the candidate wanted by the voters as Moldova’s President in the most objective and transparent way possible,” he said.
The politician also said that the Central Election Commission, the Broadcasting Coordination Council and the public TV channel must be depoliticized and freed from captivity as the illegitimate power has clear intentions of massively rigging the elections.
