Moldovan Leftist Opposition Seeks United Front Against Right-Wing Government

Moldova's Socialists said on Friday they planned to talk to like-minded opposition parties about how they could unite Europe's poorest nation against its right-wing government

CHISINAU (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 07th October, 2022) Moldova's Socialists said on Friday they planned to talk to like-minded opposition parties about how they could unite Europe's poorest nation against its right-wing government.

The country has been rocked by three consecutive weeks of protests against the EU-backed Party of Action and Solidarity. Protesters accuse the government of mismanagement and inertia in the face of rampant inflation and soaring costs of living.

"The republican council ordered the executive committee to talk to healthy political forces and organizations about how they could rally people and organize nationwide events, consultations and protests," the Socialist Party's executive said in a statement.

The party accused Action and Solidarity, founded by President Maia Sandu, of deepening social and economic crises and substituting dialogue with censorship. It said the end goal was to have a new government in place that would stop the country from backsliding on democracy.
