Eduard Musuc excluded from PSD

Eduard Musuc, the secretary general of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), was expelled from the party. The PSD president Dumitru Braghis has told Info-Prim Neo that the decision was made after they established that Musuc worked against the interests of the PSD and in favor of another election runner during the election campaign and stopped the propagandistic activities in the municipality of Chisinau. Asked what other runner he meant, Braghis said that everybody knew what party he meant. He also said that Eduard Musuc has the right to appeal the decision to court. In reply, Eduard Musuc said that such a decision cannot be taken by the party’s Political Bureau because he was elected to the post at the Congress of the PSD. He added that the decision was rash and irrational and announced he would hold a press conference to present his position. He also said that the decision could be connected with his stance on the PSD plan for settling the Transnistrian dispute. Eduard Musuc headed the Social Democratic Party until December 2007, when the party merged with the Social Democracy Party led by Dumitru Braghis. By a majority vote of the delegates, Dumitru Braghis was elected as president of the unified Social Democratic Party, by secret vote. Eduard Musuc was elected as the party’s secretary general.
