Comment of PM Maia Sandu on alliance with Socialist Party at local administration
Prime Minister rejects an alliance with Democratic Party out of hand and will look for the appropriate partners in order to promote things at both national and local levels. Maia Sandu has made the declaration after Socialist Party offered to make a coalition with bloc ACUM after the general local elections on October 20.
"I understand that some candidates have made declarations in order to catch voters' attention. However, they should turn more to the Government. We are going to discuss this topic. Clearly we don't have an understanding with PDM, but the rest, we will look for the most appropriate partners in order to promote things at national and local levels. We have not received any official request until now", Maia Sandu said.
Publika recalls that PSRM candidate for Chisinau mayor Ion Ceban and PSRM President Zinaida Greceanîi offered to create an alliance with bloc ACUM in the local administration.
Andrei Nastase rejected this idea from the beginning because he doesn't want the Socialist to dominate the Chisinau Municipal Council, Nastase said.
Leader of PAS, Maia Sandu, has yet commented on this topic. Neither did the spokesman of President Palace answer the phone.
Before the parliamentary elections in February, PAS and PPDA signed a public commitment not to make any formal and informal alliance with Socialist Party.
However, bloc ACUM created a parliamentary majority with PSRM not long after that. Moreover, in the four months being in power, these parties "shared" with each other many positions in important state institutions and signed a new collaboration accord recently.
