Persons of wealth and those who will make many promises will enter the next Parliament. This will happen owing to the mixed-member electoral system based on which the upcoming parliamentary elections will take place, the leader of the Party of Communists Vladimir Voronin was quoted by IPN as saying in the talk show “In Depth” on Pro TV Chisinau channel .

“The election campaign prior to the parliamentary elections will be very interesting because the mixed electoral system will destroy all the years of independence. It is not known what kind of Parliament we will ultimately have. Persons of wealth and those who will make many promises will enter the next Parliament,” said the Communist leader.

Vladimir Voronin noted the Party of Communists remained the only real party of the left. “We will be unable to form a coalition with someone in the parliamentary elections or in the political activities owing to our ideology and policies,” he stated.

As regards the possibility of running in a constituency, the Communist leader said he would run in the single-member constituency where President Igor Dodon would run.

As to the visit paid by the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to Moldova, the politician said this came after demanding the expulsion of the seven ticklish citizens. “Why was Erdogan’s visit scheduled for this August postponed? Because the seven Turkish citizens hadn’t been yet extradited. It is evident that particular conditions were imposed. (...) After these seven Turkish citizens were sent to jails in Turkey, he finally came,” stated Vladimir Voronin, noting there can be no other explanation for the sudden love of Turkey’s president.
