“Two steps forward and then back from zero” – this is the formula for overcoming the political crisis formulated by the Democrat Marian Lupu. According to him, the first step is the resignation of Prime Minister Vlad Filat, while the second step is his resignation as Head of Parliament. Only after this they can have discussions on the re-forming of the Alliance for European Integration, Info-Prim Neo reports. Marian Lupu told the journalists that he heard about discussions on the talks, but these are only words followed by no action. In the morning of February 21, Marian Lupu demanded that Premier Vlad Filat should resign and an acting PM should be named. He stressed that this is the only way for laying the foundations of a new democratic alliance and for avoiding early elections.
