Socialist MP Grigore Novac does not rule out the possibility that the Party of Socialists (PSRM) will be excluded from the race for the parliamentary elections. He said this could be a punishment for particular acts of the party, IPN reports.
“We saw that the Democratic Party in the recent period resorted to different actions to provoke the President and the Party of Socialist to different acts. Knowing its habits, tactics and manners of action, we saw how the government, by different instruments, first provokes and then can penalize harshly. For example, the PSRM can be excluded from the electoral race for different reasons. They have motives to find such reasons,” the MP stated in the talk show “Direct access” on NTV Moldova channel.
Referring to the appointment of the two new ministers in the Filip Government, the MP noted the government also provokes President Igor Dodon.
The PSRM’s jurist Fadei Nagachevski said that since 2016, when Igor Dodon was elected President, attempts have been made to deinstitutionalize the presidential institution and to limit the President’s powers. He referred to the Government’s and the Constitutional Court’s acts aimed at suspending Igor Dodon from office for appointing new ministers. “The Presidential Office is a public institutions whose goal is to mediate between the powers. Consensus should be reached with this. The President cannot be imposed to do what the government wants at a particular stage because it is elected by the people and, according to the principles of representation and stability of the post, he bears responsibility before the people for eventual mistakes or political inaction, not before Candu or Filip,” he stated.
According to Fadei Nagacevski, President Dodon didn’t receive information about the two candidates and had to inform himself about their integrity from journalistic investigations and from the websites of courts of law. Such an attitude cannot be called institutional cooperation. The government could have avoided the confrontation with the President by naming persons to hold the two posts on an interim basis.
