Democratic MP Ruxanda Glavan, former minister of health, said the six MPs who left the Democratic Party and its parliamentary group on February 19 took such a step out of anger and this anger derived from the fact that none of these MPs were elected to executive posts in the party at the PDM’s National Political Council last week, IPN reports.
Ruxanda Glavan said the anger of the six MPs became clear only last Saturday, when the PDM chose its new vice presidents and none of the six MPs was elected to executive posts in the party. “When the colleagues realized that they will not hold posts in the party’s administration, this was a factor that hurried their gesture. Yesterday, we decided that we should maintain a dialog and Mister Diacov Dumitru (e.n. – president of honor of the PDM) in my presence called Andrian Candu about 30 times to discuss, but this didn’t answer the phone,” the MP stated in the talk show “Key issue” on NTV Moldova channel.
The politician noted the foreign affairs minister’s scandalous statements about the Transnistrian conflict became pressing for the six MPs who left only last week. “I have more questions than answers. Furthermore, Andrian Candu was the first who proposed voting for the removal of the Government led by Maia Sandu last October and he drafted the motion of no-confidence. (...) These MPs probably waited for a suitable moment to leave the party,” said the ex-minister.
Socialist MP Bogdan Țîrdea noted that Vladimir Plahotniuc, thinking about his own safety, wants to use the largest part of the Democratic MPs in his game played together with Maia Sandu and others against the President and the current Government led by Ion Chicu.
He said the six MPs who left the PDM form part of the “group of Plahotniuc” that consists of persons close to the former Democratic leader. In turn, the people close to Plahotniuc lost the executive posts in the PDM and this was a new reason that determined their leaving.
The six MPs who left the Democratic parliamentary group and the Democratic Party on February 19 are Andrian Candu, Sergiu Sîrbu, Vladimir Cebotari, Eleonora Graur, Corneliu Padnevici and Grigore Repeshchuk.
