The MPs of the Party of Socialists, the Liberal Democratic Party, the Communist Party and the Liberal Party on July 26 left the Parliament sitting in protest after the parliamentary majority refused to consider their proposals concerning the agenda, IPN reports.
The head of the Socialist parliamentary group Zinaida Grecheanyi said the Socialist MPs go to meet with people in districts and tell them about the inaction of the parliamentary majority and about the rejection of the opposition’s proposals that are in the people’s interests.
Invoking the same reasons, the Liberal-Democratic, Communist and Liberal MPs left the assembly hall in turn.
“Our group at the start of the sitting proposed excluding tree bills from the agenda, including the one concerning voluntary declaration and fiscal stimulation, as these didn’t go through the required procedures. In 2016, such a bill was described by the National Anticorrosion Center as money laundering scheme. In protest, the group of the PLDM leaves the sitting,” stated Lib-Dem Iurie Tap.
“Our opinions are not taken into account and we will also leave. You already do what you want to do in the Republic of Moldova,” stated the Communist leader Vladimir Voronin
Liberal MP Alina Zotea said the Liberal group leaves the assembly hall because the parliamentary majority didn’t support their proposal to exclude the discs reform bills suggested by the ruling party. “What you do today is a serious violation,” stated the MP.
“Today in Parliament, we will discuss the fiscal reform whose goal is to increase the population’s revenues by reducing taxes and doubling exemptions so as not to tax the subsistence minimum and other elements,” said Speaker Andrian Candu. “Besides this very important subject that is awaited by the whole country, there will be discussed different concessions for the business community”.
The sitting continued with the MPs of the majority group. The number of attending MPs wasn’t specified.
