The nominee from the "Action and Solidarity" Party (PAS), Maia Sandu, claims that tomorrow will notify the General Prosecutor's Office in the case of collecting the necessary number of signatures within 24 hours of the candidate from the Democratic Party, Marian Lupu. 

During a press conference that was organised today, Maia Sandu declared that PD used its administrative resources to collect the necessary signatures and that they forced the mayors to stay after work to check the signature lists. 

"We wanted to file today this request, but the General Prosecutor's Office does not work Sunday and we do not have the influence and the nerve of the Democratic Party to ask this institution to open its doors a weekend day [...] We request from the Prosecutor's Office to confirm to us that it was possible for PD to collect all the signatures in one day, from 14:00 till 17:00, and therefore the confirmations from the Mayor's Offices for that day", declared Maia Sandu. 

The leader of PAS also mentioned that there are more citizens from Diaspora want to support the PAS nominee, but this is not possible because of excessive bureaucracy.

Asked why she did not notified the Prosecutor's Office earlier, when she was a PLDM Party member and when there were publicized cases in which the Party that she was in, used its administrative resources from MAI and the teachers to participate in previous election campaigns, Maia Sandu said:  

I can not recall ever that PLDM collected 29 thousand signatures in 4 or 5 hours. There were many cases. On which of these topics did you notified the prosecution? Why I must inform the prosecution on all topics that have happened and all frauds that have happened over the years [...] Right now, it is an outrageous case and we are notifying the prosecution [...] I can not answer for my actions and if you can bring me a case in which i influenced someone from the educational system and prove me that, we will talk. I can assure you that I have not done political pressure on any  employee in the educational system. 

We remind you that at the previous local and parliamentary elections, the press has written several times about the fact that PLDM used its administrative sources in election campaigns.
