“The good point resulting from the July 29 elections is that we might finally diminish the presence of the Communists in the central administration,” the leader of the Moldova Noastra Alliance Serafim Urecheanu has told Info-Prim Neo. “We, the PL, PLDM and AMN, fulfilled our obligation. But I cannot say that radical changes took place, only that five political parties will now enter the Parliament. We will see what position the Democratic Party will take,” Serafim Urecheanu said. The AMN president considers that the next, essential step is to form a large coalition and reach a consensus. “With 53 seats, the Opposition could create the Government and elect the Speaker of Parliament so as to have a different situation, without Communists. It is true that it will be more difficult to elect the head of state,” Urecheanu said. “If one of the four Opposition parties decides to form a coalition with the Communists, we will have no support from the European Union. We will remain in the same period of stagnation. The country will be on the verge of collapse. The people will not return home from abroad, while the young persons will continue to go abroad,” Serafim Urecheanu said. According to the AMN leader, Moldova needs a revival, which is possible only if the democrats join forces after elections so as to avoid the political and economic crisis. “We should reestablish normal relations with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. If we do not have a democratic government, the investment climate will be affected.” Urecheanu also said that the conclusions reached after these elections are the same as eight years ago. “In 2001, when we became the Opposition, we understood that the parties should have verticality. We should always safeguard the national, not personal or group interests,” the AMN leader said. “The disappointments remained the same. This time, they again tried to rig the elections and violated the electoral legislation. We expect the verdict of the OSCE and other international organizations.” With 98% of the ballots counted, the AMN polled 7.6% of the vote and will thus have eight seats in the new legislative body.
