The National Alternative Movement Party (MAN) considers that its proposal to sign a common declaration of all political forces and civil society, by the model of the Snagov Pact”, on Moldova’s accession to the European Union, should be implemented and all political forces should unite around the national idea of European integration of the Republic of Moldova. MAN also says that the referendum on this issue represents the highest form of democracy and the will of the people, but criticizes the ruling party’s way of managing the European integration process, IPN reports.
“The National Alternative Movement pleads here, at home, for a Europe with authentic standards, where there is transparency, the institutions are depoliticized, there is no intimidation, reforms are done in all areas and not in the interests of a party, the economy is developed, domestic producers are protected, there are conditions in education and healthcare and access to decent living in the Republic of Moldova, where people want to stay,” MAN wrote in its congratulatory message on the occasion of the Christmas holidays.
The party reminds that it has repeatedly pleaded for uniting society around Moldova’s accession to the European Union, but criticizes yet the methods by which the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity manages this process as “the standards of the European Union are the reverse of what the ruling party is doing today.”
Practically in the same period and on the same occasion, President Maia Sandu asked Parliament to initiate the holding of a referendum on the country’s accession to the EU next autumn.
The Snagov Declaration is a document signed on June 21, 1995 by the leaders of the parliamentary parties of Romania, attesting the political forces’ adherence to the national strategy for preparing Romania’s accession to the European Union.
