Moldova’s public TV channel, Moldova 1, is organizing a debate between the leader of the Action and Solidarity Party, Maia Sandu, and the Parliament speaker, Andrian Candu. Sandu and Candu will reportedly debate the change of the electoral system, the governance of the Democrats and the relations with President Igor Dodon.<\/p>\n

20.50:\u00a0<\/strong>Candu: As soon as I get access to the 2nd Kroll report, I will make it public.<\/p>\n

20.44:\u00a0<\/strong>Candu: So if you don’t make a pro-European alliance with us, will you leave the Socialists to rule for four or even eight years, and bring Moldova in Russia’s hands?<\/p>\n

20.42:\u00a0<\/strong>Sandu: Our party will not make an alliance with the Democrats because you are a real threat to the European path of Moldova.<\/p>\n

20.35:\u00a0<\/strong>Sandu: When we close all the taps public money is leaking from, we will start to have savings and a strong economy.<\/p>\n

20.29: <\/strong>Candu:\u00a0Let’s also talk about the economic reforms, the severe cuts in bureaucracy. (…) You also do not mention the raises for teachers, for doctors.<\/p>\n

20.26: <\/strong>Sandu:\u00a0You should know that the people who retired until 2001, the increase of pension did not take place. What about those who retired after 2008?<\/p>\n

20.20:\u00a0<\/strong>Candu: Mrs. Sandu, after you left the government, you asked several development partners to stop financing Moldova. Why did you do that?<\/p>\n

20.10: <\/strong>Sandu:\u00a0<\/strong>After I came into politics in 2012, my income and savings decreased by 3 times, while your incomes increased by six times. Where did your businesses and incomes come from?<\/p>\n

20.08:\u00a0<\/strong>Sandu: Mr.Candu, don’t you think that some public servants do not change their positions just because of the governing parties?<\/p>\n

20.04:\u00a0<\/strong>Candu: You were part of the Communist government as a public servant, and then took part in the Liberal-Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Moldova time, 19.57:<\/strong> Andrian Candu: “95% of Venice Commission recommendations were included in the current mixed electoral system.”<\/p>\n
