Moldovan Prime Minister Zinaida Greciani believes that the 29 July early parliamentary election will become a test of Moldova’s real independence.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a news conference on July 22, Greciani, who is running for parliament on the ticket of the ruling Communist Party, said that she had met thousands of workers and citizens, and that none of them welcomed the early election.<\/p>\n

"I do not believe that the opposition leaders, who have initiated the early election, do not understand this. It is simply in their political interests to have a worst-possible economic situation in the republic," Greciani said, adding that the opposition did not even conceal their wish to have a repeat voting held in two weeks’ time, if turnout is below 33 per cent.<\/p>\n

The prime minister expressed confidence that the Communist Party would win a majority in the forthcoming election, saying that "there exists certain logic that is turning citizens towards Moldova’s further development, which can be guaranteed only by the Communist Party".<\/p>\n

"Over the past eight years, the ruling party has proved its efficiency, having reduced the state debt by several times, to only 12 per cent of GDP," she said.<\/p>\n

Greciani also said that the overwhelming majority of Moldovans did not want a comeback to the situation of the 1990s, when salaries and pensions were not paid for months.<\/p>\n

"I do not believe that Moldovans will step on the same rake one more time," Greciani said.<\/p>\n

She expressed hope the 29 July election would be free and democratic.<\/p>\n

On 22 July, the Russian news agency Interfax quoted Greciani as telling the same news conference that "the continuation of confrontation and a possible third parliamentary election could push Moldova onto the brink of default".
