The political post-crisis calculations of the Democrats could have resulted from the fact that the new government is at a fragile crossroads, political pundit Dionis Cenușa notes in a feature for IPN News Agency.

According to the expert, firstly the new executive has a tight agenda full of socioeconomic problems that will necessitate practically the whole available energy and attention. The speed at which the reforms will be corrected and re-launched will determine Moldova’s capacity to regain access to European assistance.

The second delicate circumstance that should be overcome by the new government is the political coexistence in the Moldovans legislature where the majority formed by the PSRM and ACUM didn’t lose its artificial character and is vulnerable until there is no authentic and functional efficient coordination mechanism (secretariat for government coalition).

The third important aspect is related to the liberalization of the electoral process promoted by the PSRM-ACUM coalition and whose consequences are unpredictable. The Socialists will have to soon confront Renato Usatyi whose return to politics can be already prefigured.

The politologist considers the vacuum that will appear flowing the de-monopolization of political power will lead to the revision of the political landscape and to a competition for the next local, parliamentary and presidential elections.

At the same time, the new political conditions and the disappearance of the common enemy could diminish the consensus inside ACUM.

Such an uncertain political context offers the Democrats time for restructuring their clientelism networks without definitively renouncing the active presence on the Moldovan political arena and its influencing. These could aim to destabilize the ACUM-PSRM coalition, including with such initiatives as no-confidence motions against President Igor Dodon, who can be accused of promoting the interests of Russia, concluded Dionis Cenușa.
