Candidate of Action and Solidarity Party for Moldovan president's office says to discuss to carry out justice reform

Chisinau, 30 October /MOLDPRES/ - The current head of state, Maia Sandu, backed in the electoral campaign for presidential elections by the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), has said that she would invite all political parties which ‘’were not financed by Shor’’ to a discussion on the justice reform. Sandu made statements to this effect at a programme held at the Jurnal TV station, in the context when she says that both she and other candidates were harmed by the purchasing of votes at the ballot from 20 October.     

„What I intend to do? It is, immediately after the elections, to invite people from all political parties which were not financed by Shor; I will invite them to discuss how we carry out the justice reform, so that it is a reliable reform, so that there are no charges that we intervened in one way or another,’’ Maia Sandu said.

„On the one hand, we presently complain that the traitors were not sanctioned and we face this attack against the state. On the other hand, when there were initiatives due to provide more efficient instruments of fight for the state’s security, there were reactions including on behalf of the civil society. We need real instruments, in order to protect our country. We need a more inclusive discussion which is to allow us making this reform of the justice quicker and which is to allow us being more protected at the parliamentary elections than we are at present,’’ Maia Sandu also said.    

The PAS candidate says that she was affected by the ‘’theft of votes’’, just as the candidates of other parties were hit. ‘’I do not know who would have been my counter-candidate, if votes were not bought. I do not know whether somebody can say for sure if it would have been Stoianoglo; maybe Renato Usatii would have been. All political parties, all backers of the political parties were affected by this theft of votes and we must sit down and see how we protect the sovereignty of our vote,’’ Maia Sandu noted.    

The runoff of the presidential elections will take place in Moldova on 3 November. The current President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, backed by PAS and the Socialists’ candidate, Alexandr Stoianoglo, will fight for the office of head of state.
