Many candidates in the current presidential elections participate in order to test the ground for the next parliamentary elections, says Vitalia Pavlicenco, president of National Liberal Party, possible independent candidate for the position of head of state. During the public debates organized by Info-Prim Neo, Pavlicenco said that these elections take place in times of popular disappointment, and people have high expectations about the new elected president, believing that he will solve all problems — a “daddy” type president. But, according to Pavlicenco this is not the case, and that will shortly disappoint the people. // IPN

Iurie Leanca said that if gets elected as president of the country, he would not propose Plahotniuc for prime minister. “It is excluded. One of the objectives of the future president is to use his diplomatic skills not only outside the country, but especially in the country. Mr. Plahotniuc has image problems. Look in the polls. He has to rebuild his credibility and then we will talk. The situation in the country is very serious. We need faces and people that would overcome the division in the society”, PPEM candidate said. // anticoruptie.md

In an interview with the portal Tribuna, first deputy of the Democratic Party, Vlad Plahotniuc, was asked what he thought about PAS candidate for President of the Republic, Maia Sandu, in the context of the attacks launched by her party against the PDM. “I do not have an opinion, I know her as she was part of two cabinets with us. She had no problem in having PDM support and my own support to become a minister. Strangely, all her public criticism against PDM arose only after PLDM did not make her a minister. Only then she left the government and created her party. Probably the attacks against me are needed to create and grow her party and I do not see any problem here. I told you that there are some parties that were built on this idea. They have no political project, they shows no vision, but fight imaginary enemies and their leaders pretend to be martyrs or saints. I think we should not look much at how would she cooperate with the government, because I think Topas will take her out the race or will make sure she gets a poor result in elections”, said the politician. // Tribuna
