In order to be more powerful and to enter Parliament, the extraparliamentary parties should join efforts, politicians and members of extraparliamentary parties said in the public debate “Priorities of the political class and Moldovan society in an electoral year. Position of the opposition” that was staged by IPN News Agency in cooperation with Radio Moldova.
Deputy head of the Ecologist Green Party Andrei Dumbraveanu said the party is a fully-fledged member of the European Green Party. This means that politically the party takes part in all the programs launched by the Europeans. That’s why the Green Ecologist Party sees Moldova’s future in the EU, while the priorities that will have to be accomplished are commitments concerning the environment and protection of the natural resources. “We aim to promote social economy oriented to the people, the green economy. We want to implement the Green Bank that will provide loans for green technologies, for using untraditional sources of energy and for developing green agriculture,” he stated.
The politician also said that the extraparliamentary parties that have the same vector should joint efforts and strengthen their positions. “The vector can be strengthened only by unity. We must take efficient political decisions and overcome the vainglory and personal interests,” said Andrei Dumbraveanu.
Member of the Permanent Bureau of the People’s Party of the Republic of Moldova Mihail Camerzan said their party’s priorities derive from people’s wishes. One of the priorities is to convey their message to the people. “We want to revitalize economy in villages and to offer assistance to small landowners,” he stated.
Another priority of the party is to solve the problems faced in the education sector. “Nobody believes that one can acquire knowledge of a high quality in Moldova now. There are many priorities. It is important to be able to reach out to the people and to explain to them that these priorities must be put into practice,” said Mihail Camerzan. He added that Moldova will have no chance to develop if everything remains unchanged after the elections. New forces and new views must appear after them. The extraparliamentary parties have no chance if they are unable to join their efforts.
Valerii Gagauz, head of the young wing of the Party of Socialists’ platform “Patria-Rodina”, said the Moldovan society is now dispersed as some of the parties want Moldova to join the EU, while others want it to join the Customs Union. Moldova needs to keep its integrity by federalization and must recognize the rights of all the national minorities. The problems can be solved by replacing the Liberal model with the Socialist one, which is based on the development of science, culture, education and the creation of workplaces.
The public debate “Priorities of the political class and Moldovan society in an electoral year. Position of the opposition” is the 26th of the series of debates “Development of political culture by public debates”, which are supported by the German foundation Hanns Seidel.
