More members of Dignity and Truth Platform Party's governing bodies quit

Chisinau, 5 August /MOLDPRES/ – More members of the governing bodies of the Dignity and Truth Platform Party (PDA) abandoned the formation today. A statement to this effect was made at a news conference. 

The head of the Chisinau territorial PDA formation, Nicolae Girbu, mentioned that it was about the vice president of the Union of Transnistrian war veterans, vice president of the territorial  Union of Transnistrian war veterans  from Chisinau, as well as heads and vice chairpersons of the territorial PDA organizations.

“Regretfully, the PDA top leadership, during the protest activities, did not forward claims requested by the population, but imposed their own wishes. The image and rating of the Platform DA has worsened considerably in the recent period of time, because of the hasty acts and decisions adopted by the leadership, without consulting the party’s members. The collaboration between PDA, Party of Socialists (PSRM), Our Party, appearance of members of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM) on the stage on the Great National Assembly Square (PMAN), Nastase’s arrogant behavior, lack of a transparent politic management and conflict situations within the party have led us to our leaving this formation,” said Girbu.

At the same time, the head of Chisinau territorial PDA formation said that "the money that was collected by the DA Platform in the PMAN from pensioners, businessmen, traders, etc. would have been spent non-transparently and people who were in charge of collecting these financial resources now drive luxury cars,  bought with this money. When the PDA leadership is surrounded by people with criminal records or who have open procedure criminal cases, the people of Moldova cannot trust them and the latter cannot serve as as example for the residents.  The culminating point is the fact that these people participated in TV shows and represented the DA Platform's position." 

Nicolae Girbu also stated that "the real purpose of the PDA chairman, Andrei Nastase, would be to get to power, in order to provide legal assistance at a high level and to exempt from prosecution more persons both in Moldova and from abroad, who were sentenced for illegal actions committed on the territory of Moldova." 

The leader of the Dignity and Truth Party, Andrei Nastase wrote on a social network, in response to the exit of more members of the party that "their leaving is a beneficial, of self-purification, given the fact that most of them are people who have confused party activity with long holidays. This is a way, inspired from outside, of harming the image of the party and anticipating their exclusion for inactivity."

The PDA members who left the party today said that they would soon come up with a new political project, aiming at establishing the  rule of law in the country and improving the quality of life.
