The presidential elections of November 13 contributed to the regeneration of the pro-European political forces, stated politologist Dionis Cenusa. The new pro-European forces, in particular the Party “Action and Solidarity” (PAS) and the Platform “Dignity and Truth” (DA), are more credible than those that existed in 2009-2016, it is said in an opinion article contributed by Dionis Cenusa for IPN.
According to the politologist, an important period of adjustment to the new political realities will follow. Thus, the PAS and the Platform “DA” will have to confront politically not only an ostensible pro-European government with obscure interests, coordinated by an oligarchic group, but also a pro-Russian President convenient to the government.
The author considers the weight of the two parties in the future post-2018 Parliament will depend on their ability to carry out series of actions. To begin with, these should separate the political identities that can be now easily confounded by the people.
Also, each of the two parties needs to affiliate itself to different pan-European parties: center (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats) – rather PAS, and center-right (European People’s Party) – rather the platform “DA”.
Ultimately, the parties must concentrate their attention on voters from districts and on efficient communication with them.
The politologist concludes that the people must by attracted by the pro-European parties because they propose necessary reforms, not only because they protest against the current regime or against the pro-Russian forces.
