Moldovan parliamentary election: February 24, 2019

PDM + SHOR + Ind = 40 seats. So Plahotniuc can buy only 11 candidates and gain the majority. Wouldn't be difficult for him, last time he bought how much? 30 seats?

[kelestian]

No coalition so far. President Dodon will call new election, if no progress in talks by 21/06

[kelestian]

Coalition talks have failed. New election soon

[kelestian]

Wow, coalition was created in the last moment!
Finally, we have a government without Plahotnyuk (which is a good thing for everyone). ACUM and PSRM will be in the government; prominent anti-corruption activist Maya Sandu will become prime-minister, head of PSRM Zinaida Grechanaya will be speaker of parliament. (President Dodon is also from PSRM)

[kelestian]

PSRM already had presidential position.

About PDM - don't know, until recently it looks like coalition will be an alliance of PDM and PSRM. Maybe Dodon hates Plahotnyuk too much. PDM embarassed him at every occasion.


So, situation is not resolved yet: theoretically, coalition talks could last until 21.06, after that president will call new election. But yesterday,  after rumours of coalition without PDM, supreme court (controlled by Plahotnyuk) has announced dissolution of Parliament. They can again stripped Dodon from power for one day and call new election, but US, Russia and EU all support new government, so i don't think Plahotnyuk can win this battle
