DP leader Marian Lupu presumes the four democratic parties, which have won 53 mandates in the 101-member Parliament of Moldova, will eventually manage to find in the parliamentary Communist faction the 8 votes necessary for electing a new president for Moldova.
He stated in an interview with Reuters that the Communist Party is not so monolith or mighty as many people believe, and its existence has been largely based on repressive measures and fear.
The former Speaker of Parliament said that if the democratic parties fail to form a majority, the republic will find itself in the vicious circle of a political crisis, which will necessitate the holding of a new parliamentary election in the early 2010.
Marian Lupu voiced hope the parliamentary democratic parties will eventually achieve a joint decision based on an understanding of national interests.
Nonetheless Lupu believes it is absolutely necessary to subsequently enter into dialog with the Communists who have won nearly 45% ballots at the July 29 elections.
