The National Council of the Party of Socialists (PSRM) mandated the party’s administration to have negotiations and agree political partnerships for ensuring a stable government that could implement its program until 2023 with maximum efficiency, IPN reports.
In a press release, the PSRM says the National Council analyzed three possible scenarios. 1) maintaining of current situation, with a government without stable political support; 2) political partnership with the PDM, which is the only parliamentary party ready to have a dialogue on the issue; 3) snap parliamentary elections in November together with the presidential ones.
As a result of debates, it was decided that the snap parliamentary elections should be avoided as they do not solve the political situation and only affect the people. “Even if the snap elections for the PSRM could be a very good political opportunity, our decision should first of all take the interests of the people and the country into account,” said the PSRM.
The party regrets that the former political partners of the ACUM Bloc didn’t respond to the multiple calls to return to the dialogue and to together reach that consensus that would ensure political stability, preferring to insist on snap elections.
According to the Socialists, the same political agreement signed by the PSRM with the ACUM Bloc will form the basis of the possible future political alliance as this document was accepted by society and the international partners. “If the signing of a political agreement on the formation of a parliamentary majority is not possible, the parties that will not accept the dialogue or will block the Chicu Government’s work should assume responsibility for causing snap parliamentary elections. This is one more proof of the fact that the Socialists further support the fulfillment of the commitments agreed in June 2019,” runs the PSRM’s message.
