ONLY PSRM, PAS AND DP WILL GET IN PARLIAMENT IN CASE OF ELECTIONS

If parliamentary election were held next Sunday, only the Party of Socialists, the Party of Action and Solidarity and the Democratic Party of Moldova would get into the legislature. These are the results of an opinion poll, conducted by the Association of Sociologists and Demographers and presented at the Wednesday's news conference at Infotag.

According to the research results, the PSRM would get 50.4% votes of electors, who have set up their mind concerning their choice, the PAS - 24.1%, the DP - 10.6%. The "Demnitate si Adevar" [DA, "Dignity and Justice"] Party would get only 5.4%, but given the error rate, theoretically it may overcome the 6% threshold for getting into the Parliament.

The rest of parliamentary and extraparliamentary political formations would not get into the legislature. Thus, the Moldovan Communist Party (MCP) would get 2.3%, the Partidul Nostru (OP, Our Party) -2%, the European People's Party of Moldova (EPPM) - 1.6%, the Shor Party - 1.1%, the Liberal Party - 1%, while the National Unity Party (PUN) - 0.7%.

Chairman of the Association Victor Mocanu said that the coming of the DP into the legislature is out of question. Now, experts are discussing possible coalitions on the left and right flanks.

"According to experts, the growth of Democrats' rating is due to the fact that this is the single party, which undertook the responsibility to conduct unpopular reforms", he said.

After him come PAS Chairwoman Maia Sandu -19.3%, Prime Minister Pavel Filip - 4.5%, MCP Chairman Vladimir Voronin - 3.9%, DP leader Vladimir Plahotniuc - 3.7%, PSRM Chairwoman Zinaida Grechanaya - 3.5%, DA Chairman Andrei Nastase - 2.8%, OP leader Renato Usatii - 2.3% and Speaker of the Parliament Andrian Candu - 1.9%.
