The President of the PPEM Iurie Leanca reacts reacts to the announcement of Mihai Ghimpu that he withdraws his signature on the agreement with PPEM, stating that "Mr. Ghimpu has shown that even today he did not understand that the partnership was for European integration, not to promote thefts from the Chisinau City Hall ".

The President of the PPEM Iurie Leanca reacts reacts to the announcement of Mihai Ghimpu that he withdraws his signature on the agreement with PPEM, stating that "Mr. Ghimpu has shown that even today he did not understand that the partnership was for European integration, not to promote thefts from the Chisinau City Hall ".

"If Mr. Ghimpu thought that this agreement was a political game for canceling the referendum, he would do the right thing to withdraw his signature when found out that it is not like that. PPEM will continue to support fully the European integration of the country, being convinced it is the only way to modernize the Republic of Moldova", added Iurie Leanca.

We remind you that the PL leader, Mihai Ghimpu, announced not so long ago that he withdraws his signature from the Collaboration Agreement with PPEM.

"Taking into consideration that PPEM, until this day has not announced its withdrawal from the tacit alliance with PSRM, PN and PCRM in the Chisinau Municipal Council, Mihai Ghimpu, the President of PL, announced that since today, September 5th, 2016, he withdraws his signature from the Collaboration Agreement signed on July 26th, 2016", stated in a press release of the Liberal Party.

At the end of July the majority coalition, which includes PL, signed a partnership with PPEM, leaded by Iurie Leanca. Following this agreement, Leanca was chosen the President of the Parliamentary Council for European Integration. 

It should be noted that on September 2nd Mihai Ghimpu declared on a TV show that he will withdraw his signature from the "Collaboration Agreement" between the majority coalition and PPEM, if Iurie Leanca does not give up the idea of dismissing the Mayor of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca. The deadline was today.

Subsequently, Iurie Leanca denied Mihai Ghimpu's statements that the partnership signed at the end of the summer parliamentary session, had in the "backstage", the condition that PPEM will give up the Anti-Chirtoaca referendum. 

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.
