The direct election of the President is not legitimate and will worsen more the social instability, declared the leader of the Communists from the Republic of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, who thinks that switching to presidential form of governance must happen constitutionally.

The direct election of the President  is not legitimate and will worsen more the social instability, declared the leader of the Communists from the Republic of Moldova, Vladimir Voronin, who thinks that switching to presidential form of governance must happen constitutionally. PCRM suggests organizing earlier the parliamentary elections by the end of this year and in the first half of the next year - conducting a constitutional referendum on changing the country's form of government.

The PCRM president, Vladimir Voronin, has declared today during a press conference that by the decision of the Constitutional Court from March 4th has been committed one of the gravest crime: the Moldovan people have been abducted of their sovereign rights, being deprived of its position as the only sovereign in the state. 

"Lacking the legitimacy of the transition to the direct general elections of the president will not make legitimate this type of election, will worsen more the social instability, will lead to the power war between the President, Parliament and Government. In the situation of our captured state, this could provoke an unforeseeable evolution of the situation in the society... By the actions of the corrupted political persons, was destroyed the structure of the Parliament. Today, it does not longer represent the will expressed by the voter at the parliamentary elections on November 30th, 2014", he stated.

According to the leader of PCRM, "the capture of the leading bodies by non-professionals, sharing control over all economic and social structures led to a functional paralysis and, eventually became the main causes of the stagnation in the development of the economic potential".

"The transition to the presidential system of government, in the case it will be demanded by the majority of the country's citizens, should be done in a constitutional manner, in this way to be ensured the legitimacy of the whole electoral process", said Voronin.

To this end the communists proposed:


— To restore the structure of the Parliament in line with the will of the voters, to organize, by the end of 2016, anticipated parliamentary elections.

— To return to the nation its sovereign rights by conducting in the first half of 2017 a constitutional referendum on changing the country's form of government.

We remind you that, during the meeting of the Central Committee of PCRM on September 3rd, the party's management decided to boycott the presidential elections.
