Sturza: No Wonder PDM Is Collapsing, It Was Built on Fear and Corruption

Former Moldovan Prime Minister Ion Sturza says he was not surprised by the split in the Democratic Party. “I was not surprised that PDM began to split into different groups and interests, since everything was built there on fear and corruption. When this disappeared, people began to look for better options,” Sturza said during the Playground program, agora.md reports. Ex-Prime Minister doubts that Plahotniuc has time to “deal with Moldova.” “There is no money left, maybe there is something in the bag, but he must solve many of his problems. He encouraged his loyal followers, especially Mr. Candu, to make these pro-European statements. His goal is to establish relations with the Americans,” Ion Sturza said. According to Sturza, big figures have disappeared from the political scene in the Republic of Moldova. “If the opposition still hopes that more figures will appear in the next four or five years, or that they will mature, those in power have no chance. There is no immediate danger that a tyrannical oligarchy will be created to steal billions,” Sturza said. The businessman is convinced that compromising materials will be emerging in media ahead of the presidential election.
