After a number of MPs pushed each other in Parliament, it was decided to approve a new Code of Ethics for lawmakers so as to ensure optimal working conditions in the legislature. At the same time, the Communist MPs said they will not limit themselves only to the use of loudspeakers and will continue to protest so as to hinder the current government from selling Moldova’s patrimony. Such statements were made by MPs in the program “Fabrika” on PublikaTV channel, IPN reports.

Deputy Speaker Adrian Candu said the legislature must work in appropriate conditions and the law should be applied in cases of violence. “A new Code of Ethics was drafted and is to be discussed. If somebody has no other arguments to invoke, this means that they are weak. The situation created in Parliament today was Communist hysteria,” he stated, adding that the Communists came to the sitting with the intention of causing a conflict, but what they did was abuse and usurpation of power.

Communist MP Eduard Musuc said the decision to set up checkpoints along the Nistru runs counter to bills adopted together with them. “This law nullifies the statement we voted together. The government intended to adopt a law in secret, without informing society. They voted a law that allows selling Moldova’s property,” he said, adding that the authorities plan to privatize a number of companies ‘gratis’.

The head of the Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group Valeriu Strelet said the PCRM wants to impose dictatorship on the parliamentary majority and the Communist MPs’ statements concerning the law passed in Parliament represent sheer demagogy. He stressed that the institutions put up for privatization do not yield dividends and the state makes no profit from them.

For his part, the leader of the Liberal reformers Ion Hadarca said he is disappointed by the fact that they squabble in Parliament and do PR at microphones.
