SIX PARTIES SHOULD GET TO NEXT MOLDOVAN PARLIAMENT – ASSOCIATION    Six political parties are likely to win seats in the new Moldovan Parliament, says the Association of Sociologists and Demographers of Moldova, which presented the findings of its latest opinion poll at a news conference in Infotag on Monday.

 

Association Chairman Victor Mocanu said that unlike practically all other such researches done here, this opinion poll involved respondents from both Dniester River sides.

 

The residents of the right Dniester side, i.e. the mainland Moldova, will vote mostly for the Communist Party (23.1%), the Liberal Democratic Party (18.1%), the Democratic Party (16.2%), the Party of Socialists (15.6%), the Patria Party (9%), and the Liberal Party (8.4%).

 

Among the residents of the left-side Transnistria region, the most popular organizations are the Party of Socialists (9.3%), the Communist Party (5.1%), the Patria Party (3.3%), and 73% interviewed Transnistrians stated they are not going to take part in the Moldovan elections.

 

Among politicians, the biggest trust on the right river side is with Communist Party leader Vladimir Voronin – 16.5%, who is followed by Prime Minister Iurie Leanca (15.7%), businessman Renato Usatii (12.4%).

 

In Transnistria, 34.3% respondents stated they do not trust even a single Moldovan politician. But among those who trust, the highest figures are with Party of Socialists leader Igor Dodon (18.4%), Vladimir Voronin (15%) and Renato Usatii (14.1%).

 

The interviewed Transnistrians said that they are concerned most of all about growing food prices and utility bills – 60%, about corruption – 46%, miserable salaries and pensions – 32%. And 56% Transnistrians are thinking of a possible armed conflict in their region as a continuation of the military actions taking place in neighboring Ukraine.

 

Each second Transnistrian (50.1%) believes that if Moldova is admitted to the European Union, their living standards will deteriorate.

 

Association Deputy Chairman Andrei Dumbraveanu said that over 75% respondents on both river sides believe that Moldova ought to get integrated into the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. At the same time, 63.6% residents of the right Dniester side think that Moldova is developing in a wrong direction, whereas in Transnistria this opinion is shared by 43.2% residents.

 

Concerning Moldova’s accession to NATO, 58% Transnistrians spoke out against such accession, and in the mainland Moldova – 45%.

 

The poll was carried out on November 11-20 among 1,185 citizens eligible to vote, who reside in 78 various-type localities in the Republic of Moldova territory, including 460 residents of the Transnistrian region. The pollsters are saying that error should not exceed ±3%.
