The chairwoman of the National Liberal Party Vitalia Pavlichenko said the participation conditions in the recent elections were discouraging for the extraparliamentary parties. According to her, the results of the elections reflect the disappointment witnessed after 2009. This happened partially because the political parties didn’t contribute to the change of mentality, IPN reports.
“We speak about Europe, but ultimately do not want to cultivate a European view on things. We again encourage a society of “panhandlers” who can be bought for 5 lei or a cheap loaf of bread,” Vitalia Pavlichenko stated in the talk show “Country” on Vocea Basarabiei TV channel. She noted a lot of unjust stations vitiated the electoral process.
Executive director of the Women’s Political Club 50/50 Ecaterina Mardarovici said the political spectrum of the voters in Moldova hasn’t changed for 20 years. The parties of the left continue to hold 40-44 seats, while the democratic parties – over 50 seats. The voters haven’t evolved since the declaration of independence. “In a country where the population can vote for a party and a person convicted by an ordinary court, who admitted to breaking the law and giving bribe, society relapses if the people give seven seats of MP to such a party,” stated Ecaterina Mardarovici.
“As long as the level of tolerance of persons who do not obey the law is so high in society, this is something worrisome.”
