The Democratic Party (PDM) considers that the fielding of a candidate for Prime Minister shouldn’t be delayed. The party’s leader Marian Lupu said he urged President Nicolae Timofti to nominate a candidate tomorrow, May 8, IPN reports.
Marian Lupu told the journalists that they discussed two issues in the consultations with the head of state: the necessity of designating a person for the post of Head of Government and the package of laws adopted last week by the votes of the PLDM and PCRM. The Democratic leader said that if the given laws are promulgated by the head of state, the PDM will be not very willing to take part in the negotiations.
As to the candidate for premiership, Marian Lupu said the PLDM assumed this post and must put forward a candidate.
President Nicolae Timofti opened separate consultations with the parliamentary groups of the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Party, and the Liberal Party in the afternoon of May 7 after the Constitutional Court decided that the head of state’s decree nominating the leader of the PLDM Vlad Filat as a candidate for premiership was unconstitutional.
