The administration of Parliament and the members of the Cabinet will come together for a joint meeting today, September 10. The legislature and the executive are to agree the priorities for the autumn-winter session of Parliament. The Communist faction will not attend.

Communist MP Eduard Musuc, who heads the commission on public administration and regional development, has told IPN that it’s no use taking part in the meeting as the decisions are anyway taken by the parliamentary majority. The agreement on the constitution of the Pro-European Coalition provides that the parliamentary majority will not cooperate with the opposition. “The next days the Communist faction will have a meeting and we will then decide how to act in the autumn session,” he stated.

The leader of the Liberal reformers Ion Hadarca stated for IPN that the joint meetings on behalf of Parliament are attended by the heads of parliamentary groups and standing commissions. He underlined that they will ask for arguments for the latest actions of the Government – the decision to concede the Chisinau International Airport and the reduction in the shareholding owned by the state in Banca de Economii (Savings Bank).

The executive’s press service said the joint meetings of the Government and Parliament are attended by almost all the members of the Cabinet. The last joint meeting of the kind was held on June 11.
