The future pro-European majority coalition can be formed if the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) makes concessions voluntarily or against its will, while the other two participants in the negotiations, which are expected to start this week, will adopt more rigid positions. Such conclusions are formulated in the analysis “Pro-European coalition between national interests and party interests” that was published by IPN on July 6, 2015. Its author Valeriu Vasilica provides several arguments to support such conclusions.

“The PLDM’s position will be dictated by the goal of going through the coming period without other losses, up to better times. It will thus have to concede in the negotiations what the Democratic Party (PDM) is unwilling to concede and what the Liberal Party may ask directly or even asked for – to allow the not yet registered party of Iurie Leanca to take part in the talks and to distribute posts to it, evidently also from the PLDM’s ‘portfolio’,” says the author.

“For the aforementioned reasons and because the PLDM bears a greater real responsibility for the fate of the European integration, the future pro-European coalition could be formed mainly based on the PLDM’s concessions. Maybe this was what the author of the set of theses entitled “Sunday. Mission impossible”, which was published by IPN before the runoff vote in Chisinau and which contains all the possible variants of the PLDM’s decimation, meant.”

The author anticipated that the PLDM and PDM will again adopt tough positions in the negotiations on the formation of a pro-European majority coalition and formulated a series of explanations for such behavior, which derives from the political interests of the two parties and from their different level of devotion to the European integration cause as a major national interest.
