Jurnal de Chisinau has spoken with Anatol Petrenco, the head of the Actiunea Europeana [European Action] Movement (AEM), who confirmed that a group of Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance (MNA) members were in talks with him to join his party.
The MNA members are unhappy with the reelection of Serafim Urechean as the party's leader. The party has also been struggling with low polling numbers (it may not be able to cross the five-percent threshold to gain seats in the legislature during early elections in 2010 or 2011).
Moldova Noastra is a member of the ruling Alliance for European Integration, but the possible departure of Veaceslav Untila, the M.P. leading the rebellion, will most likely not affect the Alliance's strength. Mr. Untila has repeatedly said he supports the ruling coalition.
AEM is known as a small pro-Western party that failed to gain any seats during the 2009 legislative elections. The party did, however, run an active campaign and seems to have attracted a number of young people among its ranks.
