The Conservative Party (PC) considers the whole responsibility for the April 7 protests degrading into vandalism rests with the Communists Party (PCRM), in power now, and directly with the Interior Ministry. “The Interior Minister and the director of the Service of Information and Security should resign, but we don't expect these officers to be able of such noble acts,” said PC leader, Natalia Nirca, on Tuesday, April 21, at news conference at Info-Prim Neo agency.
“The Conservative Party condemns the illegal actions of the leadership of the Communists Party and asks for punishing all the ones guilty of breaching the fundamental human rights, as the the right to assembly, the right to free speech, to free movement, to personal safety,” Natalia Nirca said.
PC Deputy president, Zinovia Zorina, a university professor, has condemned the corruptibility accusation in the teachers' address made by President Vladimir Voronin after the April 7 protests. She has insisted the young generation grew namely during the Communists' rule, when thousands of parents “had to leave their children without spiritual warmth and go to seek for jobs abroad.”
Speaking about the further developments of the political events, the PC leader has said it's not likely that repeated elections are announced because of rigging the April 5 vote, since that would mean the PCRM will not run in the race at the same time being in charge for organizing the elections, “what is not so likely.” Nirca expects the opposition parties entering the parliament to boycott electing a new president in order to cause early elections. The Communists are short of one vote to elect the President.
The Conservatives' president attaches hope to the upcoming visit of the Czech premier Mirek Topolanek to Chisinau. His country is now holding the rotating presidency of the EU. “We hope the EU will condemn the violence and will ask to punish the ones in charge for these unprecedented actions,” said Natalia Nirca, hinting at the alleged application of torture and inhumane treatment by the law enforcing bodies.
Commenting the arrest of the businessman Gabriel Stati, whom the authorities charge with attempting a coup d'etat, Natalia Nirca has said the police will find the evidence and testimonies to indict him. “We all know how such things are done in this country,” she said.
The PC gained over one per cent of votes in the April 5 elections. It shares the popular doctrine in its social-political orientation.
