The Congress of joining the National Liberal Party (PNL) with the European Action Movement (MAE), planned for May 9, on Europe’s Day, will not happen, Info-Prim Neo reports.
Vitalia Pavlicenco, the PNL ex-president, has told Info-Prim that the second congress of the PNL will take place on May 9, in order to “re-institutionalize” the party. “We initially relied on another political situation after the elections. Now we cannot speak about a merger, because first we need to create the structures of the party,” Pavlicenco said.
“We are open for cooperation with other anti-Communist parties. We shall plead for creating an European and anti-Communist front,” Vitalia Pavlicenco added, specifying that another priority of the PNL would b also be preparing for the local elections.
Anatol Petrencu, the MAE leader, reiterated that his party remains open for the merger. “We want to make a pro-European pole and I believe that only a sincere and real unification of the parties can change the situation in the country,” Petrencu opined.
The PNL and the MAE participated with a single electoral list in the 2009 parliamentary elections, getting 1.01% of votes.
