If the parliamentary elections are rerun in better conditions, the current three main political force will enter Parliament again, with small changes on the winner’s rostrum, stated publicist Mircea Ciobanu. According to him, the Socialists showed that 35 seats of MP is their ceiling and they cannot get more seats. The fact that no unionist party entered the legislature is disappointing. The Democratic Party and the bloc ACUM reasserted their optimism in the recent elections, IPN reports.

Mircea Ciobanu noted the bloc ACUM brings a new face to the post-electoral negotiations. It suggests another agenda and tries to break the well-known stereotypes. “After over a month of the elections, we have only one candidate for premiership and this Maia Sandu, who was proposed by the bloc ACUM, and no one else came up with an offer,” stated the publicist. He added that ACUM’s invitation to discuss a package of laws on the parliamentary platform is another kind of approach and this is welcomed.

Publicist Vitalie Ciobanu said he expected the parliamentary elections would have been invalidated as any scenario was possible. The position of parties on the winner’s rostrum to a certain extent reveals the division of society. The differences in the financial power and influence at the local level between the bloc ACUM and the other forces in the election campaign was very conspicuous. “The bloc ACUM can be somehow contented as it achieved a decent result in unfavorable conditions. The PDM’s result was above expectations, but this party fully profited from the financial resources,” the publicist stated in the talk show “Emphasis on today” on TVR Moldova channel.

Political pundit Corneliu Ciurea said the elections didn’t produce a decisive result as there are at least three political forces that aspire to power. The political element, not the electoral one, which is the people’s will, counts at present. “The people’s will was expressed. This created an unclear result and the qualities of politicians will count a lot from now on, at discussions behind the scenes, negotiations, secret conversations, everything that forms part of the arsenal of a less democratic policy that is not open to everyone, but without which we do not have politics and a political arena,” he noted.
