  2. Gheorghe Russu
  3. Labour Party
  4. Maia Laguta
  5. Ecological Party of Moldova “Alianta Verde (Green Alliance)”

Disputes were held when registering the Ecologist Party “Green Alliance”, since the party representatives requested the CEC to refraining from registering the party as electoral candidate, on the grounds that this list includes foreign persons, promoted by the party leader without consultation according to internal procedures. CEC representatives refused to consider the oral requests, which were not presented by the authorized party bodies and reminded to the electoral candidate’s representatives that they still can make changes in the lists of candidates.

Romania feels as electoral object

Romanian Ambassador in Chisinau, Marius Lazurca, called upon parties in Moldova to refrain from using the relationship with Bucharest authorities as a topic during the campaign for parliamentary elections. Within a press conference, Romanian ambassador commented on the accusation of Romanian involvement in flooding some of villages in Hincesti district and declares that charges would not be an “European” approach, especially in the situation when all major political forces in Moldova share the aspiration for European integration. Lazurică also informed that Romania had only got involved in the flood with rescuers, trucks, construction materials for hundreds of homes. (source: Moldpres)

Names of persons to be proposed in the list of PUM candidates were not mentioned.
