The parliamentary group of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (PLDM) will continue to work in corpore in the opposition in the spring-summer session of Parliament. Despite speculations that some of the Lib-Dems intend to leave the group, all the nine MPs will remain in the opposition and will represent the bell that will ring when the government takes wrong steps, the head of the Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group Tudor Deliu stated in the public debate “Conditions and specific features of Parliament’s spring-summer session” that was organized by IPN News Agency and Radio Moldova.
Tudor Deliu said that in any democratic country the opposition plays its role and owing to it the government puts right particular mistakes. As regards the attitude to the opposition in Moldova, the MP noted that the government is making effort to crush it and to make it keep silent. But the PLDM will insist that the opposition should be heard and will continue to submit bills event if a large part of the draft laws proposed in the Opposition Day in Parliament weren’t accepted or are gathering dust.
The MP said that being in the parliamentary opposition does not mean being in opposition to the people. Therefore, no matter who is the author of the bills that reach Parliament, if these are in support of the Association Agreement with the EU and for the benefit of the people, the PLDM will support them.
As regards the priorities of the Lib-Dems, Tudor Deliu said the group will insist on the bill that provides that the managers of inspection, regulation and surveillance bodies should be elected at a public contest. This has been gathering dust since the previous session. As in the previous session, the PLDM will insist that a report on the work of the Government, prosecutor general and other institutions defined in the legislature’s Regulation concerning parliamentary control should be presented in Parliament.
The public debate “Conditions and specific features of Parliament’s spring-summer session” is the 70th installment of the series of debates “Developing political culture by public debates” that are staged with support from the Hanns Seidel Foundation of Germany.
