PL won’t vote for PLDM’s bill condemning totalitarian regimes, thinks analyst

The Liberal Party won’t vote for the Liberal-Democrats bill regarding the condemnation of all totalitarian regimes, as this is against its ideology. The opinion was voiced by political analyst Igor Botan, Info-Prim Neo reports. Igor Botan declared during the Fabrica talk show on Publika TV that he understood PL leader Mihai Ghimpu very well. Voting for the PLDM initiative would be against the Liberals’ ideological stance. PL is actually the only party in the governing alliance with an ideology, noted the analyst. Another political analyst, Victor Gurau, municipal councilor in the PCRM group, says that Mihai Ghimpu is blackmailing his alliance colleagues by stating that he would not support the Liberal-Democrats’ bill. Thus, PLDM is forced to adopt the Liberals’ position and act accordingly. Analyst Valentin Dolganiuc said during the same show that the competition within the Alliance for European Integration is determined by the fact that the member parties know they must have the people attention in order to make it in the Parliament at the next elections. “What’s our business with Hitler’s or Pinochet’s regimes? We must condemn only the regimes that were enforced on our territory. We have already voted for the condemnation of the crimes of Communism. Their bill, their business. Everybody has the right to propose whatever they want”, Mihai Ghimpu declared earlier. The Liberal leader says people won’t understand the need for another bill condemning totalitarian regimes. Ghimpu thinks that such initiatives are only political actions. At the end of the spring-summer session, the Parliament condemned the totalitarian Communist regime. The legislation was amended in order to ban the use of the Communist symbols the hammer and the sickle.
