Despite the minority coalition formed, important bills for the country can be voted in Parliament, but these should only be justified so that most of the MPs are sure that these are for the country’s benefit, the chairman of the PLDM Vlad Filat said in an interview for the press agency Moldpres. The MP gave as example the February 20 sitting, when a number of bills concerning Moldova’s integration into the EU were adopted, IPN reports.
“Our duty is to ensure stability so that we move on,” stated Vlad Filat. According to him, the process of forming the new Government lasted longer and was more difficult than it was thought immediately after the elections. It is now very important for this Government to take rapid steps and solve the problems that appeared meanwhile. Many of them were generated by the political instability through which Moldova went. The attention will be now concentrated on the budgetary-fiscal policy, the state budget, the currency market, the pharmaceutical products market, the oil market, the crime situation, etc.
Vlad Filat said the negotiations on the creation of a new government coalition weren’t at all easy, but everything possible was made for the PL to form part of the government. “I personally regret that the Liberals chose another way than that of a constructive dialogue. As a result, they remained outside the government,” he said. As to Communists’ votes for the Gaburici Government, Vlad Filat said the fact that they voted does not mean that the Communists are taking part in governance.
He added that the Sturza and Braghis Governments also didn’t enjoy majority support in Parliament, noting that this is not the best solution, but there was no other way out. Asked why former Prime Minister Iurie Leanca didn’t vote for the Gaburici Cabinet, Vlad Filat said his colleague’s behavior is strange to him too especially because Iurie Leanca supported initially the idea of a minority government and accepted to run for premiership as the representative of a minority government. He wasn’t then against the Communists’ vote.
Vlad Filat said this is not the first time that Iurie Leanca acts in a different way than the party. He gave as example the support he gave to the candidates for the presidency of Romania. “In fact, this is Leanca’s business and we can only ascertain his strange behavior,” he stated.
The Gaburici Government was invested by the votes of 60 MPs of the PLDM, PDM and PCRM.
