The leader of the Party of Communists Vladimir Voronin said that the referendum of October 20 is unconstitutional and meaningless. The former head of state urges the electors to vote \u201cNo\u201d in the plebiscite. \u201cIn one ballot, you choose the candidate you trust, except Sandu, and in the second ballot, you vote \u201cNo\u201d. By doing this, you will not become co-participants in the destruction and demolition of our state,\u201d the Communist leader said, quoted by IPN.<\/p>\n
The ex-President accuses the current government of not needing a sovereign, neutral, independent and peaceful Moldova. \u201cThey lie to you in the most shameless way that through this referendum the citizens will have the opportunity to pronounce \u201cFor\u201d or \u201cAgainst\u201d Moldova\u2019s entry into the European Union. The first purpose of this unconstitutional referendum is nothing more than a scam aimed at securing, at any cost, the re-election as President of this woman, who did not assert herself as a personality and even more as a President of the country,\u201d said Vladimir Voronin.<\/p>\n
According to the PCRM leader, the second purpose of the plebiscite is \u201cmore terrible, because, with the help of this referendum, those who are in power want to obtain the right to mock the Constitution, to change it as they please, but also as the West had instructed them, to do so even if they do not have a constitutional majority.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the possibility to stop this gang of state criminals, of state traitors, and to prevent the national catastrophe they can cause. For this, on October 20 we must also vote against Maia Sandu, and against this anti-people, anti-state regime. And we must answer \u201cagainst\u201d the question posed in this referendum,\u201d stated Vladimir Voronin.<\/p>\n
The Party of Communists is one of the two referendum campaigners that were registered with the \u201cNo\u201d option. The other 13 participants plead for the Republic of Moldova\u2019s accession to the EU.<\/p>\n
The constitutional referendum on joining the EU will be held on October 20, simultaneously with the presidential election. Voters will answer \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d the question: \u201cAre you for amending the Constitution so as to enshrine the Republic of Moldova\u2019s accession to the European Union in it?\u201d.<\/p>\n
