The head of the Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group Valeriu Strelet said that he will definitely vote for the ratification of the Association Agreement with the EU and will encourage all his colleagues from Parliament, including those from outside the government collation, to support this great opportunity for Moldova.

Within an inquiry held by IPN among the lawmakers, Valeriu Strelet said the Association Agreement represents historical, crucial and unprecedented opening for Moldova to follow a path to civilization, democratization, freedom, dignity and progress.

“This is my viewpoint and I think that after 23 years of hesitation, Moldova can finally cover an irreversible path that it could possibly choose earlier. But at least now we should not miss this opportunity,” said the MP.

Moldova will sign the Association Agreement with the EU on June 27. The accord is to be ratified by the end of July. A number of 51 votes are needed for its ratification.
