THREE MAIN OPPOSITION FORCES SET UP POLITICAL COUNCIL
Chisinau. The Liberal Party, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Moldova Noastra Alliance have announced their establishing a Political Council for dialog and cooperation in the run-up to the July 29 early parliamentary election.
MNA leader Serafim Urechean told a news conference in Infotag today the Council should let the opposition forces coordinate their actions during the election campaign and even after it.
“The Council is the continuation of our previous electoral efforts. It is well in harmony with the political messages the three parties put forward before the April 5 elections, and is a definite sign of consolidation of Moldovan opposition forces”, Urechean said.
Liberal Democratic Party leader Vlad Filat said that yet one year ago the Liberal Democrats stood up with such initiative, but things did not go as far as forming such council then. Fortunately, the idea has been put into reality now, and he believes “this is evidence of the political maturity the opposition forces have attained”.
Liberal Party Chairman Mihai Ghimpu said the Council lays the foundation for joint democratic governance of all the three parties. He said, “Our unity should ensure the realization of the dream of most Republic of Moldova citizens – integration into the European Union”.
The three leaders said the Council is open to cooperation with other political formations, but will be vigilant in relations with them. The Council’s activities will be coordinated by its Executive Secretary, and this will be Moldova Noastra Alliance First Deputy Chairman Veaceslav Untila.
The just elected Executive Secretary said the Council of 9, with three representatives from each party, will be convening regularly to discuss emerging questions and to coordinate actions to make the coming elections really free and correct.
