Democrats make 12 proposals to Communists in exchange for election of president

The Democratic Party (DP), a member of the ruling Alliance for European Integration (AEI), announced a series of proposals today, which it hopes will convince the Party of Communists (PC) to vote for a head of state.

DP head Marian Lupu is the only person running for president. The AEI, which holds a slim majority of 53 seats in the legislature, needs eight Communist votes to elect Mr. Lupu.

The list of offers includes:

1. A law on parliamentary opposition, which would ensure equality between parties during legislative activities.

2. The opposition can appoint the head of the Accounts Court and of the Central Electoral Commission.

3. The ruling alliance will promote socially-oriented economic policies and will try to consolidate mechanisms of social protection.

4. Respect for Moldova's military neutrality status and other constitutional principles.

5. Reintegrating the country based on Moldova's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Identifying a durable and viable solution to the Transnistrian problem, which would include the participation and consultation of every political force represented in parliament.

6. Consolidating and optimizing mechanisms meant to provide rights to every ethnic group and the creation of conditions for their active participation in the public life of the country.

7. Consolidating local democracy and depoliticizing ties between the center and the periphery.

8. The end of politically-motivated persecutions of businesses that activate legally.

9. Reducing political influence on public media stations.

10. Depoliticizing the educational system and providing a balanced view of Moldovan history.

11. Promoting dialogue and political compromise, as well as fighting ideological intolerance.

12. Consolidating Moldova's statehood and fighting irredentism that could undermine the country's sovereignty.

PC M.P. Mark Tkaciuk said that he hasn't seen anything in the list that would convince his party to vote for Mr. Lupu.
