The promises and programs of the current government look nice, but it is the result and how this is perceived by the population that count. In such conditions, the PDM and PPEM face a difficult task that can produce very good results if new mechanisms are implemented, given the new electoral rules, Gheorghe Costandache, head of the European Social-Politic Center, said in the public debate “Starting position of political parties and eventual independent candidates on official pro-European platform before an electoral year”, which was the 84th installment of the series “Developing political culture by public debates” organized by IPN News Agency.
Gheorghe Constandache stated it is very important for all the messages to be presented to the people in a comprehensible way so that these are assimilated and generate positive reactions. The tasks entrusted to the current and future governments at social, economic, political and foreign policy levels, which are specified in the Association Agreement with the EU, are mandatory.
According to him, Moldova’s European integration, which is the opposite of the Eurasian integration, has highly superior advantages that the people sometimes do not fully understand. Therefore, the task of parties, experts and civil society is to explain those norms of good conduct and decent life to the people by concrete examples.
Gheorghe Constandache added that politics cannot be pursued outside the geopolitical factor, but regardless of the political strategies and technologies that only started to take shape after new regulations were introduced in the electoral sphere, all the state policy programs and tasks should be explained again to the people or the number of those who prefer another geopolitical course could increase.
Any party aims to come to power, but the methods, mechanisms and techniques used to achieve this goal are not always the proper ones. “I call on the political parties to take into account the pro-European norms of conduct at home. We go nowhere and should build the European Union at home,” stated Gheorghe Costandache, adding the people are now more educated and understand much better the political messages and those who come only with negative messages have few chances of coming to power.
The public debate “Starting position of political parties and eventual independent candidates on official pro-European platform before an electoral year” was the 84th installment of the series of debates “Developing political culture by public debates” that are organized with the assistance of Germany’s Hanns Seidel Foundation. This is the fourth and last debate of the mini-series of debates staged by IPN the past few days, which involved representatives of parties from four main political platforms.
