PCRM will start talks on Monday

“The PCRM wants to find allies to continue the reforms in our country,” Communist Mark Tkachuc said after Saturday’s plenary meeting of the PCRM, Info-Prim Neo reports. The PCRM wants to discuss with the parties separately. The talks will begin early next week. “Certainly, we will not invite them to the restaurant,” Tkachuc said, when asked where the discussions will take place. He also said that the talks will be based on the principle of devotion to the motherland. Asked why the PCRM decided to talk to the parties separately, not with the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) formed by the four Democratic parties that entered the Parliament, Tkachuk said that he knows nothing about such a coalition. “Is there such an alliance? We saw a paper with principles copied from newspapers and four signatures. We have not yet seen an alliance, especially for European integration.” Another Communist MP Vadim Misin said that the AEI is not “a serious thing”. “Have you seen a coalition? They haven’t created anything yet. They thought about a nice name and try to attract the political leaders on their side. “The PCRM has 48 MPs and the people’s mandate. The people did not vote for a coalition. The coalitions are formed in the Parliament to solve certain problems. This coalition will disband in the near future,” Misin said. Vadim Misin also said that the PCRM will discuss separately with the PDM leader Marian Lupu, the AMN leader Serafim Urecheanu and possibly other MPs, not necessarily leaders. The Communist MPs also said that the election of the head of state is not a problem for them. “If we agree on the principles, the problem of the election of the head of state will be solved immediately,” Mark Tkaciuk said. Misin said that the PCRM has good candidates for all the state posts. The leader of the PCRM Vladimir Voronin did not make statements for the press. Voronin was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying that the parties that form the Alliance stick together because they are lured by forces from the West by promises. He added that these forces aim to damage the Moldovan-Russian relations and to transform Moldova into the second Georgia and deprive it of neutrality
