Liberal Democratic Party head holds press conference, urges National Bank and Customs to stop flight of capital from country

Vlad Filat, head of the Liberal Democratic Party, the opposition party with the largest number of seats (18) in the next Parliament, held a press conference today.

Mr. Filat asked Moldova's National Bank to "take every measure to stop the illegal transfer of capital abroad and to ensure the state's financial security."

The Liberal Democrats have also asked the Customs Office to prevent any capital flight from the country.

Mr. Filat said that most of the businesses that made a profit in the last eight years of Communist rule were allies of the Party of Communists. These businesses are now allegedly trying to move their capital outside of the country in order to secure their gains.

The Liberal Democrats also made an appeal to state institutions to continue doing their jobs instead of waiting to see the make-up of the future coalition.
