The chairman of the Republican Party, Mr. Sabri Godo, gives us his opinion on this major issue at the press conference of 13 February 1992 The accusations of an agreement with the Socialist Party for PD-PR and PD-PSD coalitions at the center are not true 3 - If the PD is convinced that it can win at the center without an ally, then it certainly has the right to act accordingly. This central decision respects the local decision on coalitions. At least when it has acted properly. Usually, with this aim in mind, we have also acted with the Democratic Party, twice in the local by-elections of July and in the elections of 16 October. Increase the chances of victory as a coalition and less as a party. This remains unchanged as a moral formula until the next elections. - But if the coalition is conceived as a longer-term alliance? - In that sense, certainly. Our cooperation with the Democratic Party was, is, and will remain a long-term alliance. Today there are also hesitant discussions about a coalition with the Socialists. These rumors are unfounded. In fact, we have been determined to form a coalition with the PD, because it is based on a convergence of political goals and not merely on momentary interests. We see that the country is going through a very difficult period and under these conditions the solution is the unity of democratic forces. For this reason the PD-PR-PSD coalition has been and remains necessary. ( Continued on page 2 )
