​POWER CANDIDATE’S REACHING THE SECOND ROUND OF VOTING WILL CAUSE MASSIVE ACTIONS OF PROTEST – RENATO USATII

24 octomber, 2016

Renato Usatii, Partidul Nostru [Our Party] leader and the Mayor of Balti city, believes that the coming of the Democratic Party candidate, Marian Lupu, into the second round of the presidential election is fraught with massive actions of protest.

Last Sunday, Usatii held a meeting with Moldovan labor migrants in Moscow and said that if Lupu and Dodon come into the second round, this will mean that the Right-wing opposition forces will have no candidate of their own, and that “on October 31 the people will come out into streets. But if these will be Dodon and Ciubasenco, then Plahotniuc will simply cancel the elections: he will traditionally mobilize his Constitutional Court for this”.

In Renato Usatii’s opinion, the almighty “Executive Coordinator” will not permit the election to go on without his candidate.

“Currently he is doing all he can – by hook or by crook – to stir up the popularity rating of his “open” candidate Marian Lupu. But if only the road to the second round is won by candidates from the left opposition, the election will be cancelled by Plahotniuc’s order”, said Our Party leader.

Usatii called the people of Moldova to unity and active struggle to overthrow the oligarchic power. He fingered at “a bright example of civil society consolidation in Romania, where rallies for dismissing thievish officials gather tremendous numbers of people”.

“In Romania, if a minister violates the law, a million of people come out to protest. In Moldova, everybody prefers to protest at home, sitting on the sofa before the TV set in a belief that “they will manage without me”. But no, we all and each of us is responsible for the country, including for the theft of a billion from Moldovan banks”, stated Renato Usatii.

In his words, “Currently the ruling regime in Moldova is controlled and steered by one criminal – Vlad Plahotniuc, and until we don't wipe him off the face of the earth, nothing positive will start happening in Moldova”.

“So, one person is left who controls everything in Moldova – the almighty Plahotniuc, who decides whom to sue in court, whom to prohibit entry to the country to, how much should be stolen from this or that ministry… I believe in the idea being proposed by some people – that Moldova needs to have a Lukashenko-2 here because we will never improve the situation in Moldova without a real ‘sanitary doctor’ who would exterminate this whole band of Plahotniuc’s judges, prosecutors, ministers etc.”, stated Our Party leader.

In his words, now the Plahotniuc authorities are trying to stage a new scenario to eliminate Our Party from the election campaign – precisely like they did at the 2014 parliamentary elections.

“Personally I have already been withdrawn from the presidential campaign by the “manly decision” taken by the Moldovan Constitutional Court, in which all Judges are citizens of Romania. As you know, the age qualification of president in Moldova has always been 35 years. Opinion polls – Moldovan, American, Romanian – all showed that Renato Usatii was on the highest position, polling 35-40% in the first round. So, to prevent me from taking part in the election, they solved the problem very easily – they re-wrote the Constitution and made the presidential age to be 40 years [Renato Usatii is now 37]. When I turn 40, and if Plahotniuc is still at power, they will re-write the presidential age into 45, then 55. Then they will gradually bring the qualification to 70 years of age”, said Renato Usatii.
