The Democratic Party of Moldova (DPM) will initiate this week the implementation of the recommendations of the Venice Commission on the modification of the electoral system. The announcement was made on Tuesday, June 27, by DPM leader, Vlad Plahotniuc, in a press briefing after the weekly meeting of the party.

According to Plahotniuc, in today's meeting it was decided how the Venice Commission regulations can be put into practice. "There are solutions to meet these recommendations, we follow consultations with experts, politicians and representatives of society, so we can bring the provisions in strict accordance with the proposed amendments. At the same time, we will initiate a new series of debates at national level," Plahotniuc said.

At the same time, the leader of the Democrats said that "none of the European partners has conditioned the change of the electoral system, especially since the EU could not stop financing a country just because citizens can choose their own deputies. Moldova will receive 100 million euros from the EU, part as a loan, and another part as a grant, money will be provided for modernization of the country and budgetary support," Plahotniuc said.

Also, the DPM leader said that he asked the Government to develop a new action plan or new roadmap to be set up next week, including the work of the Executive and the Government for the second half of this year, July-December of 2017. According to Plahotniuc, the plan will include the approval of the law on reforming the Government and ensuring the functioning of government agencies. The document will also be presented to external partners.
