Pro-Western opposition forces are looking for a potential candidate for the role of “who can turn the tide overnight” in Moldova.
Such a statement was made by the leader of the Action and Solidarity party and former Prime Minister of the Republic Maya Sandu on the air of the N4 television channel.
She calls one of her tasks the neutralization of the country’s president Igor Dodon. In addition, Sandu announced that she is already working on methods to provoke early parliamentary elections, since the pro-Western “ACUM” bloc has failed in the current convocation of the legislature.
“Everyone knows how the February elections of last year ended. This needs to be fixed, because we are looking for ways to initiate early parliamentary elections, ”Sandu said.
Speaking about the presidential election, which should be held already in 2020, the ex-prime minister said that she intends to remove Igor Dodon. According to Sandu, she doesn’t even care who gets the head of the republic’s chair, because the opposition forces are ready to discuss any “clear and plausible” proposals.
“If specific arguments arise about who can turn around the situation overnight, gain popularity, get popular support, then we will discuss this,” she said. We need to win this election, we must get rid of Igor Dodon. “
As News Front previously reported, last summer the pro-Western ACUM bloc, led by Maya Sandu, ended up in the ruling parliamentary coalition along with the party leader, the Socialist Party. ACUM representatives, who had not previously gone beyond the opposition, were given the opportunity to form their own government. Sandu, in turn, was headed by the main body of executive power.
Further activities of the Cabinet of Ministers were unsuccessful, and all ended with Sandu’s scandalous attempt to obtain the right to single-handedly nominate candidates for the post of Prosecutor General. Another political crisis unfolded in the country. The situation was complicated by the fact that the decision was made under the responsibility of the government. This meant that the implementation of the Sandu plan could only be prevented by a vote of no confidence in the Cabinet, which happened. As a result, the pro-Western government was dissolved, replaced by a crisis, the parliamentary coalition broke up and ACUM representatives were again in opposition.
