The report presented by the parliamentary commission for elucidating the situation at Banca de Economii (BEM) and in the banking system is a very poor one and there were no reasons to declare it a state secret. Such conclusions were formulated in the talk show “Politics” on TV 7 channel, IPN reports.

The program’s permanent invitee, political analyst Igor Botan considers this report holds no interest. “Only the Liberals’ report is interesting as it presents the events in chronological order. I read the report of the parliamentary commission and got bored. There was almost nothing new,” he stated.

Botan noted that a new element was brought by the former chairman of the National Commission for Financial Markets Artur Gherman, who was discharged at the suggestion of MPs. “In his statements, Gherman admitted that the decisions are taken by two-three leaders of the ruling parties. To take certain decisions, the decision makers must get the party’s consent. So, the decisions in this country are taken by several party leaders,” he said.

Jurist Pavel Midrigan said this phenomenon, to which Botan referred, has existed for a long time. “I’ve known about this decisional center of the party leaders since 2009. As regards the report on the BEM, it holds no interest. I’m also disappointed with the way in which it was discussed. They made information of major public interest a state secret, in breach of the constitutional provisions. As if the Moldovans are good only for taking part in elections and in protests and what is going on in the country should not concern them. Judging by their logic, Moldova should remain a place where profit is made without much effort,” he stated.

Constitutional law expert Vitalie Catana considers the report is a poor one and shouldn’t have been declared a state secret. “I didn’t expect much of this report. It shouldn’t have been made a secret. There is an ECHR practice that favors those who provide information of public interest,” he said.

Director of the Center “Politicon” Anatol Taranu said the commission’s report contains nothing new and there is no secret in it. “I think it was a move aimed at misleading the opposition. Thus, the lesson in the case of the BEM wasn’t learned,” he stated.
