Patria Rodina again calls on voters to vote Communists

The Socialist Party “Patria-Rodina” calls on its supporters to vote for the Communists Party (PCRM) in the snap elections of July 29. Its leaders told a news conference on July 24, hosted by Info-Prim Neo, that the PCRM is the only party that can insure “stability, peace and creation.” Patria-Rodina criticizes the opposition parties, saying they pursue to oust the Communists at any cost. PSM Patria-Rodina leader Eduard Smirnov accuses the Liberal Party (PL), the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) and Our Moldova Alliance (AMN) of having organized the April turmoil and destroyed “everything built during the Soviet era.” According to Smirnov, on July 29, the opposition aims to win at any cost, an dthis could lead to losing the country. “If the right wing comes to power, there are chances that we turn into a poor province of Romania, and Moldova may be divided into several areas: Transnistria, Gagauzia, because there will be conflicts between people of different ethnicity and religion,” Smirnov added. At the same news conference, the party’s secretary Valentin Krylov criticized “the Marian Lupu project”. “Lupu’s image is deceitful. Although he pushes a very attractive political message: “The political war must be stopped”, he says he won’t negotiate with the Communists at the same time,” he specified. Krylov says there could be a dangerous scenario after July 29, long-term events leading to misbalance the political stability, and the social-economic stability. The opposition parties have always rejected the charges of having orchestrated the April events.
