The Moldovan lawmakers will hold the last sitting of the spring-summer session on July 12. Some of the political analysts and commentators, who were asked by IPN to pronounce on the events of this session, said that these events put a black stain on Parliament because there were promoted personal interests and laws were voted in a hurry. As regards the political disagreements, the analyst said they had positive aspects as well because they revealed acts of corruption and the politicians’ immaturity.
“What happened in this session was a political struggle that revealed certain political interests in Moldova, not without an evident external influence on this struggle. This fact is confirmed by the adoption of laws that were shortly afterward amended or annulled,” said political analyst Viorel Cibotaru. According to him, there were passed laws that are needed for the reformation, modernization and Europeanization of the country. On the other hand, the quality of these laws was low as they were adopted in a hurry. The quality of this parliamentary work will influence the further development of the country as the implementation process will be slowed down by the laws’ imperfection.
The analyst said the political struggle in Parliament was beneficial because it revealed the real extent of such problems as corruption, the maturity degree of the basic state institutions, the people’s attitude to certain processes, protests. The lessons were ultimately learned. Things are now much clear and the opposition does not like this as it wants war in Parliament in order to achieve its own goals.
Political commentator Alexandru Cauia said the spring-summer session can be divided into two periods – before the Government’s dismissal and after the investiture of the new executive. In the first period, each of the parties tried to adopt laws by ignoring the national interests and promoting party or group interests. In the second period, the legislature managed to pass more bills, even if not very important. The commentator believes that the voters will not penalize the politicians for their performance in Parliament as they forget the disputes and squabbles as long as the quality of their life is not directly affected.
Even if Parliament didn’t do many things between February and May, after the investiture of the Leanca Government it adopted a number of laws that are in line with the Vilnius Summit and Moldova’s European agenda, considers political analyst Mihai Cernencu. “It seems that the mechanisms worked out during the negotiations ensured a dialogue between the Speaker and the Prime Minister,” he said, adding that the legislative body is returning to normality even if the opposition is making effort to destabilize the situation.
The spring-summer session has lasted from February until July.
