“PSRM Is a Democratic Party as Well”

Dodon remarked on the socialists’ candidate for the presidential elections. Moldovan President Igor Dodon said that the Party of Socialists will not support the call of the Platform “Dignity and Truth” (DA) party to “democratic parties” and nominate a single candidate for the presidential election in 2020. He said this after the PSRM Republican Council meeting on January, 14. According to the head of state, there is still time before the presidential election, and the PSRM has not yet decided upon the candidate. Commenting on the DA party’s call for "democratic parties" to nominate a single nonparty candidate, Dodona said that "the PSRM is a democratic party as well." “The party will not accept the DA proposal, because, I think, we will probably have our own candidate, right?” Dodon checked with the chairman of the PSRM Zinaida Greceanîi. “Of course,” Greceanîi answered. “And he will be the best.” Dodon emphasized that the candidate will be apolitical and a nonparty one. Earlier, we recall that the platform “Dignity and Truth Platform” (DA) called on democratic parties to nominate a single candidate for the presidential election in 2020. The Action and Solidarity party replied that they were ready to support the presidential candidate, who has the greatest chance to defeat the current president Igor Dodon.
