The electoral sympathies incline to the left and the polls confirm this, but this is the left dominated not by the previous Communists, but by Socialists and the mayor of Balti Renato Usatyi, historian and publicist Gheorghe Cojocaru said in an interview for Radio Free Europe, quoted by IPN.
“The opposition that is protesting against the current authorities is in the street, around the Parliament Building, and inside the legislative body, trying to provoke early elections by street pressure and ultimatum-like appeals from the legislature’s rostrum. This pressure applied by the protesting forces is fueled by the recent opinion polls, which show that these forces would win the possible early legislative elections,” stated Gheorghe Cojocaru.
He noted that the early elections would reconfigure the political map and would replace the political class with another one. “If the early elections are won by forces with an obscure or even doubtful identity, the quality of governance and the people’s lives will not improve, while the general prospects of the European course of Moldova could be in question,” said the historian.
Gheorghe Cojocaru also said that the election of the future head of state will undoubtedly be the hardest test for the current parliamentary alliance. Theoretically speaking, there are preconditions for this test not to be failed, while in practical terms the election of the President will imply a broad political renegotiation and will depend considerably on the personality of the candidate for this post.
