The Communist Party (PCRM) is ready for the election campaign. The electoral platform is almost ready, the slogan is being prepared and the electoral staff that will be headed by Artur Reshetnicov is being constituted, the leader of the PCRM Vladimir Voronin said in the program “Fourth power” on N4 channel, IPN reports.
Vladimir Voronin stated that the platform will be made public on September 30 or October 1, while the PCRM’s slogan in the elections is “Let’s remove corruption from the government and improve the people’s life”.
In the same program, the leader of the PCRM expressed his concern that the elections could be rigged by the current government. “First of all, they will make effort to fix the elections inside the country. The corruption of voters is one of the methods. On the election day, the people will be offered by up to 500 lei per person to vote for a party of the coalition. There are also problems with the register of voters. I suggest using the register of the population because over 1 million Moldovans are abroad and the lists could be forged. As to the establishment of 200 polling places outside the county, whose money will be used to send observers to these places? The most serious violations in the November 30 elections will be committed here,” said Vladimir Voronin.
He also said that the PCRM will no longer carry out a massive advertising campaign in the electoral period. “We do not need publicity. During four years we visited the people and told them what we want to do and who are those from the government. We will continue to speak about them. Their European friends should know what those from power are really like,” he added.
The former head of state noted that one of the priorities of the PCRM, if it returns to power, will be to bring back the Moldovans working abroad. “When we were in power, we reduced the number of those working abroad from 600,000 to 200,000. After 2009, the number of migrants rose to 1.1 million. These people should return home and work for the economy of this country,” said Vladimir Voronin.
