MP PPDP about AKUM Splitting: PDS faction Decided to Go Further Separately

The conflict situation in the ACUM block continues to worsen. PDS and PPDT leaders have not met since the Maya Sandu government resigned. In an interview with one of the news portals, this topic was raised by the PPDT MP Arina Spataru. She confirmed the information of her colleagues, who had previously stated they found out from the press the government was taking responsibility for the parliament, publika.md reports. Deputy Arina Spataru is upset by the TV blame-game of the ACUM bloc leaders. She regrets that the PDS and PPDT decided to continue their political activities now separately. The deputy said that relations between the two parties began to deteriorate after local elections on October 20 the PDS’ decision to nominate its candidates separately from the PPDT. " Another reason for the ACUM bloc splitting was the decision of Prime Minister Maya Sandu to take responsibility to appoint an Attorney General candidate position without informing colleagues from the PPDT. Arina Spataru admitted that she found out from press about government decision to vote for changes to the law on the prosecutor's office. MP PPDT believes that Maya Sandu should have shared her plans with the deputies who voted for her in parliament. Moreover, she should have abandoned her initiative on time. No comment from Maya Sandu or Andrei Nastase on the statements of Arina Spatar was possible since no one answered phone. Earlier in an interview for the IPN news agency, the chairman of the PDS said that in her opinion, the ACUM bloc as a pre-election political entity ceased to exist immediately after the local elections. Now each political formation from its composition has its own agenda. The Parliament of Moldova expressed a vote of no confidence in the government of Maya Sandu on November 12, 2019. Cabinet worked for five months.
