Some of the analysts consider the PSRM’s proposal to ACUM is not surprising, a series of experts admit a situational coalition between the PSRM and the bloc ACUM, while others believe ACUM should accept discussions with the PSRM.

ACUM rejected the PSRM’s invitation. The president of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” Andrei Năstase said the Democratic leader Vlad Plahotniuc and the informal leader of the PSRM Igor Dodon, by the invitations made to the bloc ACUM, try to hide the alliance between them and the negotiations they have held since before the elections. Plahotniuc and Dodon decided to hypocritically use the bloc ACUM as a first option and to then formalize the obscure coalition or to together decide to induce snap elections so that these are held simultaneously with the local elections, putting the election rigging mechanisms of the mixed electoral system into practice.

The Party of Socialists regrets ‘the ostrich policy’ adopted by the bloc ACUM, which preferred to bury its head in the sand and to ignore the subsequent political development of the country, the party’s secretary for ideology Ion Ceban stated in a press briefing following the bloc’s refusal to initiate discussions with the Socialists on the formation of a parliamentary majority. The PSRM, after ACUM’s refusal, will convoke the party’s administrative bodies to decide the subsequent steps. The Socialists could announce their political agenda after the first meeting of the new legislature. Until then they will analyze the most suitable scenarios in the current situation, added Ceban.
