The Socialists plead for snap parliamentary elections. These should be organized and held in accordance with the supreme law, as the PSRM stated in the consultations with President Maia Sandu, the head of the Socialist parliamentary group Corneliu Furculiță said, being quoted by IPN.

“Everything is now at the discretion and in the hands of the incumbent President. We comply with the law and the Constitution. At this stage, the negotiations are over. It is up to her to decide. She is the main moderator of this process,” Furculiță stated immediately after the meeting with Maia Sandu.

The MP noted the Socialists are ready to examine the candidate for Prime Minister if Maia Sandu nominates such a candidate. “We will analyze this candidate and the proposed government program and will evidently take a decision. I reiterate that we are for snap elections,” said Corneliu Furculiță.

Also today, the PSRM had a meeting with the party’s leadership and this involved ex-President Igor Dodon. The meeting centered on the results of the Socialist parliamentary group’s consultations with Maia Sandu. “It was noted that the Party of Socialists’ position remains principled and consistent. The PSRM’s team consciously launched the legal procedures needed to make the holding of snap parliamentary elections possible. According to the PSRM, the current composition of Parliament does not reflect the will expressed by the people in the elections of February 24, 2019. The meeting also discussed the preparations for the 16th Congress of the PSRM that was set for December 30. On December 24, Igor Dodon restored his membership in the PSRM, the party noted in a press release.

President Maia Sandu on December 28 is having consultations with the parliamentary groups following the resignation of the Chicu Government. The meeting with the Socialist MPs was the first. It lasted for several minutes only.
