PAS will not support the resignation of the Chicu government because there is no certainty that the majority will support another truly pro-European government. This was stated by PAS deputy Sergiu Litvinenco in the program "Politics" on TV8, unimedia.info writes. “We (the PAS) and the DA Platform had discussions in Parliament yesterday. We have the following position: this government is a disaster for the Republic of Moldova, look, 247 Covid-19 cases. While other countries almost have no growth in new cases, we have so many of them, even more than during the state of emergency. This government is a disaster in terms of crisis management, and I am not even talking about economy. I told my DA Platform colleagues, considering that we face a pandemic, a crisis, it would be irresponsible on our part to support a vote of no confidence and overthrow the government, given that we have no confidence that the majority will support a good, truly pro-European government,” Litvinenco said. The MP noted that in current conditions PAS has a mathematical problem, “To create a government, you need at least 51 mandates. Given that PDM and PSRM have a total of 52 mandates, we can’t move on.” The MP also said that PAS did not have discussions with Pro Moldova leader Andrian Candu.

The DA platform can appoint a prime minister with a full complement of ministers at any time, if there is confidence in having a majority that will vote for the resignation of the current government and the appointment of a new government. This was stated by the DA Platform leader Andrei Nastase at a press conference, ipn.md reports. According to Andrei Nastase, the DA Platform takes power and is not going to offer anything to those who believe that they are negotiating. “Moldova is in a great collapse, there is nothing that can be discussed, you just need to take responsibility, what the Platform “Dignity and Truth” demonstrates.” At the same time, Andrei Nastase says that he will never negotiate with the Pro Moldova leader Andrian Candu, because the DA platform cannot discuss principles with an “unprincipled gentleman”. “If someone imagines that the chairman of the parliamentary commission to investigate a bank fraud, I mean Mr. Slusari, will sit at the negotiating table with the person who appears in the report of the commission, I mean Mr. Candu, who was examined there as a person involved in stealing a billion, then he is mistaken,” Andrei Nastase said. In another context, the DA Platform leader has confirmed that he is a presidential candidate from his party. “I have repeatedly told President Dodon that this time I will be on the list and will not miss a meeting with citizens this fall. Any other speculation before the final decision of the DA Platform is nothing but a different context that feeds oligarchic propaganda,” Andrei Nastase said. Recently, the chairman of Pro Moldova, Andrian Candu, said live on Facebook that the party is negotiating with the PAS and DA Platform on the possible appointment of a new government. The deputy added that these discussions cannot be qualified as negotiations, but he expressed his readiness to analyze even support Andrei Nastase’s candidacy for the post of prime minister.
