Mihai Ghimpu: They should suggest candidates for us to see if they are suitable

The chairman of the Liberal Party Mihai Ghimpu said that his party is waiting for proposals from the colleagues from the Alliance for European Integration and if the candidates do not meet the necessary criteria, the PDM and PLDM will have to look for other candidates, Info-Prim Neo reports. “We do not take part in the meetings. They should suggest candidates for us to see if they are suitable. If they are not, they would have to find other candidates. We do not postpone the elections. The republic did not die without a President during two years and a half. The Government and Parliament work. Everything works,” Mihai Ghimpu told the journalists after an event. The PDM and PLDM are examining four candidates for the presidency. Earlier, Marian Lupu and Vlad Filat said they should identify a candidate by the end of the week so that the date of the presidential elections could be set. The press reported that the four candidates may be former Foreign Minister Mihai Popov, former Minister of Health Ion Ababii, former Minister of Health Gheorghe Ghidirim and ex-deputy governor of the National Bank of Moldova Veronica Bacalu.
