According to a press release, the representatives of the Democratic Party (PDM) and the Party of Socialists (PSRM) also decided to launch the “First House 6” program within which the employees of law enforcement agencies will get compensations equal to 100% of the bought dwelling’s value.

A sum of 20 million lei will be allocated from the state budget for the purpose.

The sides also discussed the loan of 100 million that is to be provided by the EU for alleviating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Moldova.

Also, the Democratic and Socialist parliamentary groups, the Premier and the Head of State agreed that the Government in the immediate period will come with amendments to the budget to Parliament so that the allocations for infrastructure, the business sector and other areas could also be increased.
