- AIE in zeitnot
Igor Botan, November 1, 2011
- AIE is running out of time for a banal reason — the absence of elementary communication between its leaders and the cultivation of practice for putting partners forward a fait accompli. The voting by the PDM faction of a decision to release the presidential election procedure without coordinating it with partners has the features of a vendetta of those pined to the wall, which were thought to be short of counterpart and expected to obey[…]

- What’s at stakes in local elections
Igor Botan, May 2, 2011
- Several things are at stake in the general local elections of 5 June. The outcome of these elections will secure whether: the Alliance for European Integration (AEI) will survive as the ruling coalition; the local public administration reform will be promoted, and the AEI’ governing program concerning the decentralization of power will be accomplished; the main political forces will find a solution to elect the head of state and to overcome the institutional crisis or would trigger early parliamentary elections; the myth of “Moldova — a success story” will finally collapse[…]
