Next election will take place in different conditions in Moldova
On November 10, all 53 parliamentarians of the majority Alliance for European Integration supported the candidature of Democratic Party Chairman MP Marian Lupu for presidency, and called upon their colleagues from the 48-strong opposition Communist faction to prevent aggravation of the political crisis. Statements to this effect were made by the representatives of all the four AEI constituent parties.
MP Oleg Serebrean of the Democratic Party warned the Communist that the 2010 parliamentary elections will be held in conditions that will differ substantially from what the Communists have got used to.
"We will provide for democratic voting conditions for the hundreds of thousand citizens of Moldova, who in the Communist governance years were forced to go for jobs abroad, and whom the Communists deprived of the right to vote", Serebrean said.
He reminded the forum that, in 2005, himself and other Democratic Party parliamentarians cast ballots for the Communist Party candidate - MCP leader Vladimir Voronin.
"We did not want to do that. We felt strongly doubtful and had many questions to ask. But we realized that the party, which had a majority in parliament, must receive full state power and bear full responsibility for it. And we did so. Now the Communists are precisely in the shoes we were in 4 years ago, but they are behaving totally differently. There may be no justification to this. This is happening because the Communists hate the very thought of becoming an opposition force, and because they can't imagine their existence outside the state power", said Oleg Serebrean.
He further held that unlike the Democrats, who in 2005 received no posts in state power organs and none of the conditions they had put forth were fulfilled by the MCP, the Communists "are now putting forward just unrealizable demands".
Serebrean called upon the opposition faction to take part in electing president and thus to contribute to overcoming the political crisis.
"This is exactly what Moldovan voters are waiting from all of us. A new parliamentary election, which the Communists are trying to provoke, may become a shock, in which the Republic of Moldova may not survive. This is what the Communists must at last realize, if certainly they consider themselves to be patriots of the Moldovan state", said MP Oleg Serebrean.
