​MCP SHOWING INTEREST TO CONSULTATIONS WITH PRO-EUROPEAN PARTIES

The Moldovan Communist Party is intending “to study the possibility of holding consultations with parliamentary parties for the sake of Moldovan society consolidation”, says the resolution passed at the MCP Central Committee plenum held last Saturday.

The plenum participants recognized the parliamentary election results as ones “not corresponding to the party’s political potential”, and decided that the results must be subjected to a serious analysis in the nearest time.

MCP Chairman Vladimir Voronin said at the plenum, “The situation in Moldova has worsened over last few years, and the November 30 parliamentary elections were a hope for a new future, which did not come true”.

“The Communist Party must ensure – on the basis of European standards – reintegration of the country, its economic modernization, and the development of socio-political institutions. After the elections, the Communists have two ways to choose between: to continue staying in stiff opposition or to participate in power structures on certain conceptual conditions. Our participation in the power must be focused on solving problems, not on distribution of state posts”, said the party chairman.

Communist MP Oleg Reidman also thinks that the Communist Party ought to start dialog for the country’s good.

“The Moldovan society has been split, so the MCP must act. Can we be acting from the opposition trenches where we have been together with those who promoted the split? The Communists’ previous measures did not stop the authorities from encroaching on the statehood of the Republic of Moldova, so we should try to anchor this process inside the power”, said the parliamentarian.

The plenum decided that the MCP leadership shall take measures promptly to restart the NIT television channel and will consider the possibility to hold consultations with parliamentary parties for society consolidation, for ensuring the independence, sovereignty and neutrality of Moldova, and for realization of the MCP election program.

The MCP Central Committee Plenum elected MPs Artur Resetnicov and Violetta Ivanova as members of the MCP Political Executive Committee, namely Resetnicov has been given the vacant post of the MCP Executive Secretary, which was held by Iurie Muntean until June 2014, and Violetta Ivanova has been appointed as Chairperson of the MCP parliamentary faction instead of Maria Postoico, who tendered resignation last week.

At the December 13 Plenum, Iurie Muntean and ex-Editor-in-Chief of the Pulse newspaper Dmitry Cavruc were expelled from the MCP Central Committee “for their dissociation from party activities”.
