Alexandru Oleinic expected to launch new party after local elections
“I will continue to take an active part in the political life,” Alexandru Oleinic, ex-heavyweight of the former Moldova Noastra Alliance Party (AMN), which recently merged with the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM), said in an interview for www.timpul.md. He stated that after the June 5 local elections he may launch a new political project that would involve former members of the AMN, who are dissatisfied with the party’s dissolution, and other persons who are disappointed by the work done by some of the components of the ruling alliance, Info-Prim Neo reports.
“I was resolutely against the AMN joining the PLDM. Political analysts predicted that only the Liberal-Democrats will gain from this merger. Surely a part of the persons who carried out negotiations with the leaders of the PLDM will be offered posts, but the ordinary members will act as the infantry. A large part of those who voted for disbanding the AMN realized that they made a mistake. I will make public the results of the final analysis of this ‘merger’ in the near future. Most of my colleagues are local political leaders with an experience of over 10 years and thus we can quickly create a new political organization. Furthermore, the number of persons who are disappointed by the activity of some of the components of the Alliance for European Integration is increasing. This fact should not be neglected,” said the former Minister of Information Technology.
He explained why the new project could be launched after not before the June 5 local elections. “If an organization is founded with the aim of stealing votes from an opponent, it appears one or two months before the elections and its members start to discredit a certain party. I think that a party needs at least an electoral cycle to grow up. If I launch a political organization, it will happen after the local elations and it will be a long-term project,” said Oleinic.
According to Alexandru Oleinic, the decrease in the number of persons who voted for the AMN during the last elections shows that the trust in the party’s leader Serafim Urecheanu diminished. The people who voted for mayors representing the AMN in half of Moldova’s districts ascertained that the party and its leader do not make progress. The staff in Chisinau became amorphous and inactive. The AMN should have been reformed immediately after the elections in which the party experienced a decline. But they chose the easiest way that is shameful,” said Alexandru Oleinic.
He also said that he does not intend to use the traditional Moldovan scheme, when a party is created with money from someone rich who wants a party. “The initiative to launch a political project was put forward by my colleagues from districts. We intend to set up a team of patriots who will not be influenced from outside and will fight for the welfare and future of this people,” stressed the former AMN member.
