Cooperation in Parliament – key to Moldova’s political crisis
The Chisinau political class should cooperate to overcome the crisis Moldova got stuck in. The people have spoken and now it’s up to the politicians to make the next step. These are the main opinions of Moldovan and Russian experts that met within a duplex September 7, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The participants in the debate were Alexandru Stoianoglo, vice president of the Parliament, Alexandru Tanase, Minister of Justice, Viorel Cibotaru, political analyst. Meanwhile, Moscow delegated Boris Tretiac, vice president of the Commission for relationships between CIS countries within Russia’s Federal Council, Alexei Vlasov, director of the Informational-Analytical Center for Studying Social-Political Processes, and Roman Tomberg, expert of the Cultural Strategies Fund.
Participants identified the unfavorable period, when the school year begins and people are busy with agricultural works, alongside communists’ boycott, as causes of the absenteeism at the constitutional referendum on September 5. Another reason was political parties’ inefficient actions, as they treated the plebiscite facilely. Minister Alexandru Tanase said some parties used the opportunity to advertise their candidate for the eventual direct presidential elections.
Alexandru Stoianoglo, vice president of the Parliament, said he was afraid the same situation would occur after the early parliamentary elections, as some politicians were unwilling to cooperate.
Political analyst Viorel Cibotaru stated the 32 million lei used for the referendum should be paid by Communists’ Party. He added that Moldova’s biggest problem was the irresponsibility of the political class.
