Almost 60% of the electors in Moldova in the February 24 elections voted for replacing the current power by massively supporting the Party of Socialists and the electoral bloc ACUM. Currently, the Socialists formulate conditions in which it is hard to have talks with the bloc ACUM, which makes reference to morality and principles, said analyst Alexei Tulbure. According to him, a consensus should be identified to satisfy the voters’ demand, IPN reports.
Alexei Tulbure said he analyzed a potential situational coalition between the PSRM and ACUM from all angles and reached the conclusion that this is possible. “Political will is needed for the purpose. Particular phobias should be overcome and the electoral war trenches should be left. They should realize that all the promises and assertions concerning ‘ideological purity’ are less important than the people’s will expressed in elections,” the analyst stated in the talk show “Politics of Natalia Morari” on TV8 channel.
Alexei Tulbure said there are not many variants for forming a governmental coalition and a PSRM-PDM coalition is the most likely one. “However, for the PDM any situation is not tragic except one – a coalition between the PSRM and the bloc ACUM,” he stated, noting snap elections would suit the Democratic Party as this party would bank on the local public authorities that are led mainly by its representatives.
Former MP Stela Jantuan said the PSRM invited ACUM to discussions, but said nothing about the main concept and goal of such a dialogue. “It is not clear what this party proposes – a situational coalition or the formation of a long-lasting ruling alliance? Given that both of the entities in the election campaign spoke about de-oligarchization, freeing of state institutions from control, the fight against corruption, these principles could be laid at the basis of the negotiations between the bloc ACUM and the PSRM,” she stated.
Stela Jantuan also said that many comments concerning the morality of an eventual coalition between the bloc ACUM and the Party of Socialists appeared in society. One can yet also question the morality of ACUM’s refusal to form the government and deliver the promises made to the people in the election campaign.
The leaders of the electoral bloc ACUM DA PAS were invited to the head office of the Party of Socialists on March 12 at 3pm to discuss the establishment of political parliamentary cooperation relations. The invitation was made by the PSRM’s secretary for ideology Ion Ceban in a press briefing on March 11. Later the same day, representatives of ACUM said an answer will be provided in a news conference on March 12, starting at midday.
In the February 24 parliamentary elections, the PSRM won 35 seats of MP, while the electoral bloc ACUM – 26 seats of the total 101.
A number of scenarios about an eventual situational governmental coalition between the PSRM and the bloc ACUM, which could work temporarily for solving a particular situation, are now being discussed in the public sphere.
