The Pro-European Coalition must be stable so as to be able to implement the initiated reforms and achieve the objectives set in the government program until the end of its mandate, the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) Vlad Filat said in the program “Fourth Power” on the TV channel N4, IPN reports.
Vlad Filat spoke about the coalition in the context in which one of its components – the Liberal reformers – announced the creation of their own party. He said that Moldova is a state of law and anyone can found political organizations. “For us, it is important that the government coalition be stable,” stated the Liberal-Democratic leader.
He made a comparison with the former ruling alliance, saying it is quieter now in the coalition. “The decision to form the new coalition without Ghimpu was right as we now have not so much rhetoric and gossip,” said Vlad Filat, thanking the Liberal reformers for their political maturity as the government is now functional and there is a parliamentary majority.
Asked why he chose to form a coalition with the Democratic Party (PDM), Vlad Filat said there was no alternative. “There were the Communists, with whom we tried to take more actions in concert, but the objectives are so different that it is impossible to do something. We thus reached a compromise with the PDM and the members of the Hadarca group,” he stated, adding that they aimed not to establish friendships, but to have powerful and stable partners so as to implement the planned reforms and stimulate the modernization process.
As to the results achieved by the Leanca Government in 50 days of the installment, Vlad Filat said the steps taken in the period represent a continuation of the actions initiated earlier, while some of the projects are close to completion in such areas as rehabilitation and construction of roads and health protection.
Referring to the initiative to halt the live broadcasting of the Government’s meetings, Vlad Filat said Moldova is the only country where such a thing is done. He stated that when he was Premier, he also had such an intention, but gave up after being convinced by civil society and other people.
On July 3, the Government approved the initiative of lawmakers of the PLDM and PDM, which suggests holding the executive’s meetings behind closed doors. The legislative body is yet to pronounce on this initiative. If the law takes effect, the press will have access only to the statements made after meetings.
