The former components of the ACUM Bloc, PAS and PPPDA, will run separately in the upcoming snap parliamentary elections. The representatives of the PAS said they finalized the electoral list and will soon submit it to the Central Election Commission. For their part, the representatives of the PPPDA reject the idea of an electoral bloc with the PLDM, but expect professionals and upright people from the team of the former Premier Vlad Filat to join them so that they compete under a joint list in elections, IPN reports.
The representatives of the Party of Action and Solidarity said the electoral list that they will submit to the CEC is representative and includes professionals of the party and also persons from outside the political sphere.
“The list incorporates all the MPs, all the ministers who hadn’t been voted in. These are from our party. We also have persons from civil society, from the medical sphere and the diaspora. We have a representative list. I’m convinced that the future Parliament will include a very solid pro-European majority consisting of at least 58 authentic pro-European MPs,” PAS vice president Vladimir Bolea stated in the talk show “Emphasis on Today” on TVR Moldova channel.
The representatives of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” said they are yet modifying the electoral list and they are against an electoral bloc with the PLDM. According to them, such a political construct would endanger the PPPDA’s entry into Parliament.
“The PLDM formulated such an offer. We have discussed it since January, but an electoral bloc between the PPPDA and PLDM is out of the question. A bloc means a much higher electoral threshold. It’s not about fear, but there are risks we do not want to generate. We can compile a joint list – the list of the PPPDA,” said PPPDA secretary general Ion Terguță.
The files for registering candidates for member of Moldova’s Parliament can be submitted to the CEC from May 14 until June 11.
