Iurie Leancă denied the statements of Mihai Ghimpu that the partnership signed at the end of the summer Parliament session, had in the "backstage", the condition that PPEM will drop the Anti-Chirtoaca referendum. A statement of this effect was published on Iurie's Leanca Facebook account after the head of PL "threatened" last night that if PPEM does not back down on the Chirtoaca's dismissal, then he will withdraw his signature from the partnership agreement between parliamentary majority and PPEM.

Iurie Leancă denied the statements of Mihai Ghimpu that the partnership signed at the end of the summer Parliament session, had in the "backstage", the condition that PPEM will drop the Anti-Chirtoaca referendum.  A statement of this effect was published on Iurie's Leanca Facebook account after the head of PL "threatened" last night that if PPEM does not back down on the Chirtoaca's dismissal, then he will withdraw his signature from the partnership agreement between parliamentary majority and PPEM. 

According to Iurie Leanca, the partnership signed by PPEM with the coalition aims strictly the European integration, but not his persona or his support at the elections.  

"If Mr. Ghimpu does not want our support and he is not preoccupied with this partnership, he will decide what he will consider is right. We help no one by the force; we did not signed the partnership to aid some party, but this country. And I will say once more, strictly in terms of European integration", wrote Iurie Leanca.

The president of PPEM also says that regarding the referendum for dismissal of the mayor Dorin Chirtoaca - there was no condition and no agreement at the moment of signing the partnership.

"This is a firm point! The referendum was not the initiative of any party, but more likely a very loud cry came from the society. And the society has the leadership in this matter", added the politician.

As for the other Mihai Ghimpu’s attacks, that he would be the executant of some orders, that Leanca would align on the Red Square, or that Leanca cannot live without any position, the president of PPEM chose not to comment them.

"Otherwise, to other accusations from Mr. Ghimpu, my answer cannot be different than those are despicable attacks, at which I will not respond with a similar approach or language", concluded Leanca.

We remind that in April 2016, the PPEM party from the city council proposed a referendum to dismiss Dorin Chirtoaca. The exponents of the party led by Iurie Leanca pronounced themselves about this initiative, and thereafter the political party published a press release, in which they announced that they support the dismissal of the mayor.

However, at the ending of July 2016, the majority coalition, of which PL is also a member, signed a partnership with PPEM, led by Iurie Leanca. Thanks to this agreement, Leanca became the president of the Parliament Council for European Integration.
