\nThe Moldovan Communist Party (MCP) stands ready to form a post-election coalition with the Democratic Party, if only its leader Marian Lupu gives up his desire to become President of Moldova, MCP Chairman and ex-president of the republic Vladimir Voronin stated at his news conference today.<\/p>\n

Voronin stressed that the presidential elections of November and December 2009 failed precisely because the Communist Party stood up against having Lupu as a country leader.<\/p>\n

"Hence was the last year’s entire commotion. If Lupu [aged 44] keeps on dreaming to become president, then the probability of our coalition with the Democrats will diminish. Should new variants arise, we may discuss them. We want other candidates. A president should not be so young", stated the 69-year-old politician.<\/p>\n

Voronin wondered why Honorable Chairman of the Democratic Party MP Dumitru Diacov declined his offer to become President last year.<\/p>\n

"Diacov is a very rare, unique political speculator. Nevertheless he is one of my good friends. One shouldn’t take offence at him, for he is a real child", presumes Vladimir Voronin.<\/p>\n

In his opinion, the would-be Parliament will have only two options for overcoming the political crisis: either the forum changes the order of electing president, or it elects a non-politician to the post. The Communist Party is ready to agree to both possibilities, he said.<\/p>\n

Voronin stressed, he shall not agree to a public debate with Prime Minister Vladimir Filat because, firstly, the republic has been in a parliamentary campaign, not a presidential one.<\/p>\n

And secondly, he said, "I have had 40 massive meetings with voters in the localities lately, and those were my pre-election debates, and those were exactly the people, with whom I had to talk, to discuss problems, and to convince in these or those things. As for Filat, I should say here that he is not the kind of a personality, who deserves sitting at one table with me and holding a debate. Do you really think that myself, a Soviet general, would ever sit next to the Romanian secret security agent nicknamed Kant?"<\/p>\n

The ex-president explained that he had refused to meet with Georgia President Mikhail Saakashvili because he cannot forgive him the last-year’s blasting up of the monument to Soviet warriors of the Second World War, which used to be a pride and decoration of Georgia’s second largest city of Kutaisi.<\/p>\n

"There exist sacred things in our life, and if a person spits on them, he is just a nonentity. When Saakashvili ruined the monument to war heroes in Kutaisi, he became a titled nobody, a whiffet to me", said Voronin.<\/p>\n

He expressed regret over a very aggressive nature of the current election campaign. Runners for parliament are using all kinds of persuasion techniques: some have already spent millions of dollars to flood the country with their portraits, other send congratulatory letters to thousands of citizens, including to the late ones. They organize huge concerts, opinion polls, and keep on trumpeting that visa regime with the European Union shall be liberalized in a year.<\/p>\n

"The Communist Party is not going to force the European Union’s locked door. We are more inclined to integration into the FSU area, to joining the Customs Union of Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan, which orientation will tell favorably on solution of the Transnistrian problem as well", said Vladimir Voronin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
