A coalition between the Party of Socialists and the bloc ACUM is already impossible now that the PSRM made public its offer, considers political pundit Victor Ciobanu. According to him, some of the points of the PSRM’s offer, like the one on neutrality, are constitutional and will not represent a subject for discussion in eventual negotiations with the Democratic Party either, IPN reports.
Victor Ciobanu said Prime Minister Pavel Filip presented the PDM’s offer in a news conference before the Socialists and this preceded the PSRM’s offer. “We saw two social blocks that we can consider a common point between the PDM and the PSRM, but only if the two parties continue the dialogue and form this coalition, but I doubt that a formal coalition will be created between the Socialists and the Democrats,” stated Victor Ciobanu. He said he noticed the beginning of an election campaign in the statements made by the PDM and the PSRM on April 9.
Expert in political sciences Ernest Vardanean said the discussions between the PSRM and the bloc ACUM should have taken place behind closed doors as diplomacy likes quietness. The bloc ACUM should have rethought the proposal to have discussions in a semi-open format – behind the closed doors and with statements for the press. “I hope this mistake will be corrected and we will yet see an invitation from one of these parties to discussions behind closed doors,” he noted.
Political commentator Corneliu Ciurea said the bloc ACUM and the PSRM do not meet because they do not want to meet and both invent pretexts so as not to meet. “This make the other scenario – a PDM-PSRM coalition – to be more feasible according to the exclusion method,” he stated, adding the proposals presented yesterday by the PSRM were formally addressed to the bloc ACUM, but de facto can be addressed to the Democratic Party with which a particular dialogue that is not seen can take place. “We do not really know what discussions are held behind the scenes, but we see the echoes of these discussions,” noted the commentator.
