The leader of the Party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS) Maia Sandu left the ambiguity zone when she said it is unreal for the European Union to permit Moldova’s union with Romania, political analyst Corneliu Ciurea stated in the talk show “Fabrika” on Publika TV channel, IPN reports.

According to him, Maia Sandu kept particular ambiguity as to unionism for a period. Being a leader of the right, she aimed to unite the sides – the Europeanist Moldovan right and the unionist right.

The analyst said Maia Sandu owes nothing to the unionists who voted for her in the previous elections because she didn’t promise them the union. The PAS leader should have kept this ambiguity further, but is probably constrained to define her positions. “Ultimately, there is place for a new party of the right, which will be unionist for this time,” stated Corneliu Ciurea.

Vlad Biletski, chairman of the Association “Honor, Dignity and Homeland” (ODIP), said he is very disappointed with these statements of Maia Sandu for a number of reasons. The first is that the PAS leader banks on and benefited from the votes of the unionists in the presidential elections, but assumes nothing towards those who want the union. “Maia Sandu is more dangerous than Igor Dodon as Dodon is openly against the union and, intentionally or not, he fuels the unionist message,” he stated, adding that Maia Sandu is a supporter of half extents and this generates suspicions.

In the first congress of the PAS recently, Maia Sandu said it is not real for the European Union to permit a member state to absorb a territory that is corrupt and split and does not ensure the rule of law.
