​LEFT FORCES DECIDE TO MARK VICTORY DAY WITH A JOINT MARCH WITHOUT PARTY SYMBOLS

28 march, 2017

The leaders of several Left-wing political organizations have reached an agreement to mark the approaching Great Victory Day of May 9 with a joint march in Chisinau without whatever political symbols.

The leaders of Left political parties and of war veterans’ organizations attended a sitting of the Public Council “For the Motherland” and supported the initiative to mark the Victory Day together in one massive street march, but without party flags or other symbols.

Ex-President of Moldova, Chairman of the Communist Party MP Vladimir Voronin stated that all parties that mark the Victory Day should get united and take part in undertakings dedicated to the approaching 72nd anniversary of the victory over fascism.

Igor Tulyantsev, chairman of the Public Council “For the Motherland!”, said that the Council and the Communist Party had invited for this discussion practically all Left-wing organizations, including Our Party, the Patriots of Moldova, the Party of Socialists and other. However, he said, the Socialists ignored the invitation and did not react in any way to the proposal on consolidation on May 9.

The situation was commented by Our Party Deputy Chairman Dumitru Ciubasenco, who wrote on his Facebook page today: “We have reached an accord: the Victory Banner may not be pooled over to individual party camps. May 9 ought to be marked all together, by marching in one big column, without party flags over to the Eternitate Military Glory Memorial. The only force that did not come – out of all invited for the meeting – was the Party of Socialists, though the Socialists have not stated officially their departure from the Council “For the Motherland!” It seems the Socialists are going to march on May 9 in their separate, purely party column”.

The Party of Socialists and their informal leader, President Igor Dodon, have not reacted in any way to the left forces’ decision, though previously the PSRM used to talk of the need for consolidation of all left forces.
