Anatol Plugaru, top of the Ecologist Party’s electoral list, contradicts the interim president, Mihai Ghimpu. The latter claimed it was for the first time since Moldova’s independence that KGB files were declassified, Info-Prim Neo reports. During a press conference on Friday, Plugaru mentioned that the declassification had begun in November 1991, while he was in charge of the Ministry of Healthcare. At the request of the Academy of Sciences’ Institute of History, Valeriu Pasat was given full access to the archive of the Ministry of Security. “The rehabilitation of deported people didn’t begin now either, but during the Soviet Union”, Plugaru stressed. The former minister of security mentioned that, according to the law regarding access to information, approved in 2001, all rehabilitated persons had access to the respective files. If state authorities had wanted to hide something they would have restricted the access. The parliamentary candidate commented on Mihai Ghimpu’s dispute with the minister of the interior Victor Catan, who didn’t allow the press to enter the Ministry of Interior’s file warehouses. “The Ministry isn’t a playground, but a very important institution of the state”, Plugaru declared. He said that Ghimpu’s race for the votes disgusts the population. “The interim president has become a porter. He hauled the folders from one building to another and that’s all his work, while people still had questions about other files and crimes that happen today in Moldova”, Plugaru emphasized. The president of the Ecologist Party “Green Alliance”, Vladimir Braga, mentioned that all the former and acting leaders of the country, don’t care about the country’s macro-economics, but are busy with populist actions: They either declassify files or wander abroad. Promised reforms are not carried out, neither the decentralization of power nor the judiciary reform. According to Braga, that’s why corruption problems still persist.
