Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova

The National Liberal Party (PNL) hails the "remarkable victory" recorded by the leader of the Dignity and Truth Platform Party (PPDA), Andrei Nastase, representative of the pro-European forces in the Republic of Moldova, in the second round of elections for the mayoralty of Chisinau, according to a press release issued on Sunday evening for AGERPRES and signed by the PNL chair Ludovic Orban.

The pro-Russian Socialist candidate Ion Ceban won the first round of elections for City Hall in Chisinau with 40.97 per cent of the vote, according to official data made public on Sunday night by the Central Electoral Commission - but did not get enough support to take the mayoralty outright.

The Constitutional Court on Tuesday approved a draft bill signed by 35 MPs to amend the law so that the official language is classified as Romanian instead of Moldovan.

The draft was initiated two weeks ago by a small group of MPs from Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova and signed by other pro-European deputies in parliament.

Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (LDPM) and former Prime Minister Vlad Filat considers that the parliamentary elections taking place on Sunday in the Republic of Moldova are the most important voting event since the country's obtaining independence in 1991.
