If a coalition of PAS deputies plus another party’s deputies is created in Moldova after the September 28 parliamentary elections, it will not last long,” said Renato Usatii, chairman of Our Party. According to the INFOTAG news agency, the politician said on the RLive TV channel on Wednesday evening that he is in favor of a broad dialogue of all political parties in Moldova – parliamentary and extra-parliamentary, whose leaders will be able to agree on issues of governing the country at one table.
“Yes, the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) can make a governing coalition with the Party of Socialists (PSRM). It is their business, but they will be punished by the electorate. And this has been clearly demonstrated by the experience of neighboring Romania,” the politician said.
Usatii believes that one should not believe the statements of PAS party representatives, who claim that they “will never go for the creation of coalitions with the Kremlin’s canned parties, meaning pro-Russian parties.”
“Currently, PAS and PSRM have coalitions in seven Moldovan districts, and yet they criticize each other,” Usatii remarked.
Usatii said that Our Party has recently managed to consolidate its supporters, among whom 50 percent consider Romanian as the state language of Moldova and 50 percent consider Moldovan as the state language.
The leader of “Our Party” is categorically against what has been observed over the last 30 years in Moldova, when political “weddings with Moscow or with Brussels” were made.
“We must reject the practice that has existed so far, when Moldova is governed for four years by pro-Russian political forces and then by pro-European ones,” Usatii said.
The Our Party leader considers the PAS party currently ruling Moldova as pro-European, but accuses it of not achieving good results in governing the state. According to Usatii, “Our Party,” unlike many other political forces in Moldova, is not controlled by anyone: neither Moscow, Brussels, nor Washington.
“Without Our Party in the new parliament, it will not be possible to form a viable ruling coalition, which will be able to develop and modernize the country not in words and declarations, but in deeds,” Usatii said.
