The Commissioner for European Neighborhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations, Johannes Hahn, urged the political parties and the candidates for the post of the President of the Republic of Moldova to avoid the deformation campaign and to start the collaboration between the state institutions.

During a press conference in which Pavel Filip and Johannes Hahn signed an agreement for financing the reform in the public administration segment for 15 million Euros, the European official appealed to the politicians from the Republic of Moldova.

The Commissioner mentioned that the president that is to be elected by the people should show constructiveness, and all the structures of the state should collaborate between themselves in order to ensure the political stability. Hahn came with an appeal in this sense to all the candidates at the Presidential campaign, to all the political parties and to media to avoid the deformation campaign.

“I would like also to all the candidates, parties, media to avoid deformation campaigns, which would not improve Moldova’s image, and by the way, one should always keep in mind that after the election day, usually this should be the beginning of sound and serious cooperation between all the partners, and if there have been, so to say personal attacks, sometimes “below the belt” – this is not very helpful for future kind of cooperation…”, mentioned Johannes Hahn.

The Official also appealed to the youngsters from Moldova to participate at the Presidential elections.

“… and the last to the citizens, the young citizens of Moldova – Participate in the elections, use your opportunities to vote, every vote counts. If you are not going to the voting cabins – others will do it for you and you are losing, so to say, your influence. In that respect, I can really urge all of you, all citizens, in particularly the younger’s – use this opportunity, it’s something the country haven’t have in the past, I mean 20-25 years ago… so don’t miss this opportunity to shape, to participate in the shaping of yours country future”, stated Hahn.

We remind you that after a 20 year break, on October 30th will take place direct Presidential elections in the Republic of Moldova, as a result of the decision of the Constitutional Court from 4th of March.
