Vadim Misin intends to create his own party

MP Vadim Misin, who recently left the Communist parliamentary group, said he will join no party, but will found his own left-wing party. In the program “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, the lawmaker said the new party will defend the interests of the Russian speakers and will contribute to the exclusion of the Liberal Party from the parliamentary coalition, Info-Prim Neo reports. “Our presence in Parliament will prevent Ghimpu from dictating. The AEI will anyway fall apart, tomorrow if not today. But Ghimpu will definitely stop dictating as there is a majority in Parliament without him,” he stated. Vadim Misin said that he left the PCRM because he was no longer heard and he took the decision to leave it by himself, without consulting the alliance or somebody else. According to the MP, two weeks ago he took part in a meeting of the party, where the Communist leader Vladimir Voronin said that the PCRM reached deadlock and asked all the members to formulate proposals for breaking it. There were submitted only two letters with proposals, one of which by Vadim Misin. “There was no reaction to my letter. In another meeting, when the person who wrote the other letter said that the situation in the party is catastrophic, the members of the PCRM reacted angrily, naming us cowards. I’m convinced that the PCRM is now in an impasse that cannot be broken,” said Vadim Misin. He also said that he does not agree with the PCRM’s position that the legislative body is illegitimate as the Constitutional Court recognized its legality when the President was elected. Asked who will sponsor the party that he will create and if it’s true that businessman Ilan Shor is among the backers, Vadim Misin said that he does not know him well. “I know his father. I met Ilan Shor only about five times,” he stated. Vadim Misin, Oleg Babenko and Tatiana Botnariuc defected from the Communist parliamentary group last week. Later, the PCRM announced that the three were excluded from the party.
