For the political parties that entered Parliament as a result of the February 24 elections to be able to hold negotiations, they should first close the election campaign. The statements made by these parties form part of an electoral message, the member of Moldova’s first Parliament Valentin Dolganiuc was quoted by IPN as saying in a televised program on Moldova 1 channel.
According to him, secondly the parties should adopt the norms and principles of a European democracy. “In other words, the discussions should start from the election outcome. Thirdly, the message of violence seen in the speeches of the representatives of all the political parties, mainly of their leaders, should be omitted and removed,” stated the former MP. He noted that the bloc ACUM should understand that regardless of the parties with which it will form an alliance, its image will be anyway affected.
Jurist of the Party of Socialists Fadei Nagachevski anticipated that the PSRM, PDM and ACUM will sit together at the negotiating table, as President Igor Dodon suggested, but the bloc ACUM could be yet absent from these discussions. “I don’t know the position of the Democratic Party even if the Democratic leader Vladimir Plahotniuc announced that they are ready to discuss with anyone. Respectively, the PDM would most probably be present there. The situation is rather uncertain, but given ACUM’s aggressive attitude to the leader of the PDM, it is highly improbable that this will sit at the negotiating table,” stated the jurist.
Political pundit Roman Mihăeș also considers the bloc ACUM hasn’t yet closed its election campaign and does not look for compromises. “The elections ended and the parties should have another behavior. They should leave the emotions aside, clam down and look for solutions to form a majority and to promote particular bills,” stated Roman Mihăeș. “There are no ideal solutions in politics. A compromise should be reached. The voters put their hope in this electoral bloc, in the PDM, in these two pro-European entities.” According to the pundit, if the bloc ACUM does not sit at the negotiating table, a compromise candidate for premiership accepted by the foreign partners and domestic public opinion could be identified. Eventually, this should be a figure around whom a majority could be formed, possibly from among members of different parliamentary groups.
