Communist Party official confident about dialogue with opposition
Communist MP Vladimir Turcan, viewed by many as one of the most probable candidates to the post of Moldova's new speaker or president, has expressed confidence that the ‘Communist Party will manage to find the vote that it misses in order to elect the president, this will be achieved thanks to dialogue with the opposition’.
’We have already embarked on dialogue and it will bring results. Only irresponsible people who do not care about the fate of the country and do not think about people could advocate the organization of an early election,’ Turcan said.
He did not rule out that opposition representatives could be invited to participate in the running of the country. ‘For instance, if there are three deputy speakers then one will represent the opposition. If there are 10 standing parliamentary committees then four will be headed by representatives of the opposition,’ Turcan said.
He also said that the decision to adjourn the parliament's meetings until 12 May is not in breach of legislation. ‘Everything what is taking place in parliament is in strict conformity with the regulation.
At the first session of parliament it was necessary to do three things: convene the parliament, hear a report of the Constitutional Court and give time for the creation of parliamentary factions and working bodies of parliament. All this has been done.
Parliamentary factions should be formed within 10 days. After a week, the factions will have candidates for speaker, deputy speakers and president,’ Turcan said. He also said that MPs could discuss and approve the resignation letter of the government only after the parliament's working bodies are formed.
Turcan also said that after the 6-7 April mass riots in Chisinau the authorities decided to give the opposition time to carefully select and nominate candidates for the parliament's working bodies. ’I appreciate the fact that the opposition participated in the first session of the newly-elected parliament. I see this as a prospect for establishing consensus and finding a common position for solving all key issues,’ Turcan stated.
Asked whether the Communist Party is considering the possibility of nominating him to the post of the country's new president, Turcan said: ‘I do not know.’
