Igor Grosu: We will stage “crackdown” on officials named according to political criteria

PAS acting president Igor Grosu, the new Parliament Speaker, said the first legislative proposals of his party and later of the Gavrilița Government are aimed at fighting corruption, primarily grand corruption. In an interview for RFE/RL’s Moldovan Service, the Speaker said the new power will stage a “crackdown” on officials named according to political criteria and on civil servants without bypassing the administration of the Prosecutor Generals’ Office, IPN reports.

Igor Grosu said that no one is irremovable before the inaction and law. “We will see if someone got to posts by a contest years ago and didn’t manage to deliver results for different reasons, either they  could not, didn’t want or didn’t enjoy particular support,” he stated.

The Speaker noted the MPs will be active until the second half of August and will have extraordinary sitting whenever need be.

In another development, Igor Grosu said the relations with the direct neighbors, Romania and Ukraine, are key. “From Romania, we aim to borrow the good practices they acquired in the process of adjusting the legislation so as to favor joint projects, in particular those related to infrastructure, interconnection, etc. How can local cooperation be fostered? This also refers to the Ukrainian side,” he stated, noting the parliamentary dimension was absent from the relationship with Ukraine during the two years he sat in Parliament.

To come closer to the identification of a sustainable solution to the Transnistrian conflict, they need to focus on two components – international conjuncture where there are many big players involved, which Moldova cannot control, and reforms in the country, which Moldova can control. The increased attractiveness of the right bank can help to easier resolve the dispute.

Igor Grosu also said that he will compete for the post of PAS president in the party’s congress of this autumn.
