The petitioner claims that the statements could not be countered by those concerned because they were not invited to this show and has not been asked their opinion. In this respect, Cyril Moţpan, Secretary General of the Council of Great National Assembly, calls for the right of reply in the show "Fabrika" Civic Platform Dignity by representatives of the Council and the Truth and the Grand National Assembly.

The proposed theme for discussion was the decision to form a DA Platform party. Thus, the show begins with citing Andrei Nastase, one of the leading Platform DA: "We will form a political party soon, and it'll record the Minister of Justice. The ruling political class failed to consider the claims of the protesters. "
In this context, Pavlicenco said the DA Platform knew from the beginning that it will form a political party. DA Platform decision to form a party is the result of manipulations. Also Pavlicenco DA believes that the platform will be another party LDP, "LDP 1 - Filat, LDP 2 - Godea LDP 3 - Hadârcă, LDP 4 - 5 block Leanca LDP - DA Platform". Also, she reiterated that these parties were behind "groups Filat-Lucinschi, who do nothing good for Moldova, but were used by people to leave the impression that they would do something else, and what they do how will we stop talking. "
The same position is shared by political analyst Victor Gurău that, too, believes that the start Platform DA knew it would create a political party: "This gang had from the start other strategic goals, aspirations than people who gathered the Square. From the first protests it was clear that crystallized a team that was formed in time and space through the manipulation of a private television station and financed by those who stand behind this group of entertainers - Viorel and Victor Topa. And strategic goal from the beginning was to form a party and the party to become parliamentary. " Also V. Gurău also said that "this group of activists tried the tricks and manipulations to win the right to speak on behalf of the people. Ie the so-called Great National Assembly and National Assembly declaration, not even smells like representation that participation as an element, as a structure of a hard core of social strata intelligence etc. Seeing that they have reached the maximum level who can afford to upset society, they made this statement. " Next, Victor Gurău concludes that "there was need for the party in order to negotiate his freedom Victor and Viorel Topa in a possible political situation."
All Gurău Victor also said that during a show made it very clear how the da destroy the cohesion of society and the protest movement, as it will not do anyone. In his view, when the craving arises political power, citizens will feel betrayed, and the entire mass protest will focus on "Usatîi demagogue". Because none of the "lidăraşii Platform is unable Usatîi's demagogic promises to do."
