Prime Minister Vlad Filat said he is not interested in a person or another or in somebody’s identities as he is concerned about the criminal system built by certain persons. According to him, this system started to be erected long before 2009 and they now want to keep it. He made related statements in a press beefing on February 13, when he announced that the Liberal Democratic Party which he heads withdrew from the agreement on the formation of the Alliance for European Integration signed in 2010, Info-Prim Neo reports. “I’m concerned about certain phenomena promoted vehemently by certain persons, namely the political corruption, including the buying of voters and local office holders, the control of institutions, justice, and the mass media, the fraudulent management of state-run companies, the raider attacks, the hushing up of crimes. We are witnesses to a campaign aimed at sacrificing the state interests in the name of the interests of one obscure person,” said Vlad Filat. According to him, this campaign puts Moldova in front of an imminent danger of losing all the accomplishments achieved during the three years of government by the AEI. The Premier said that a number of campaigns were launched recently against the minister of health, the minister of finance, Banca de Economii, and the Government on the whole. “I think any abuse of power must be investigated and penalized. I showed myself, by actions and replacement of ministers, that I will not tolerate abuses of power. But now we face not a fight against corruption, but political blackmail,” said the politician. Vlad Filat also said that it’s time that the current political class realizes that the dismissal of such a person like the First Deputy Speaker Vlad Plahotniuc should not be put on the same scale as the Alliance for European Integration and the people’s interests. “The oligarchic influence in the AEI led to the deforming of the political system, when the work of the state institutions only appears to be meeting the democratic standards. The most relevant example of distorting the political process is the activity of the AEI Council, which started to behave like a supreme authority in the state, trying to substitute the Government and Parliament in taking major decisions, including as regards the staff policy,” he stated. In the end, Vlad Filat said the agreement to form the AEI should be reviewed because in the current form it is an obstacle to governance and leads to the oligarchization of the country. He said the PLDM continues to support the government program and the AEI Government, its major goal being the European integration of Moldova. The PLDM called on the partners from the AEI to immediately start negotiating a new agreement so that the three parties preserve the parliamentary majority.
