“When negotiating the formation of a coalition, we will consider the principles, not the persons,” the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) Vlad Filat said, referring to a possible dialogue with the Democratic Party (PDM), Info-Prim Neo reports. At a news conference on Thursday, Vlad Filat voiced hope that the parties that will enter the Parliament will come to an agreement so as to avoid new parliamentary elections next year. “I hope that the PCRM will show maturity at least this time, will act in the national interests, admit defeat and move to the Opposition, while the parties that were victorious in these elections will take over the government, for Moldova’s future,” Vlad Filat said. He assured that the talks with the parties that passed the election threshold of 5% will be transparent and the people will find out the result of the talks very soon. “I truly hope that Marian Lupu is a leader in the PDM and that his statements are real.” Asked about the future talks with the PCRM, the Liberal-Democratic leader said that he does not intend to fulfill Vladimir Voronin’s conditions, but will observe the Moldovan law and will not betray the people’s trust. Vlad Filat made a call to the voters, saying: “The elections have passed and we now have to live in this country. It’s time to stop hatred as we all are citizens of this country, regardless of the political orientation, religion, age and ethnicity.” After 98.34% of the votes were counted, PLDM had 16.40% of the vote and will thus hold 17 seats in the Parliament.
