President Maia Sandu welcomes the adoption of the bill to amend the Execution Code that was proposed by the Head of State on March 26, after being given a first reading. According to the presidential press service, the bill is designed to protect the people with low incomes from abusive evictions from the own house owing to debts. “I’m glad that the initiative is supported by the new legislature. It is unacceptable to leave the people without home in winter, during a state or emergency or to sequestrate the home for a small debt,” said Maia Sandu, being quoted by IPN.

“We must build a state in which each citizen has a decent life and knows that the authorities will take care of them if they face a risk situation. We do it also by this bill that will protect the most vulnerable ones from abuses,” said Maia Sandu.

The adopted amendments provide that the citizens will not be evicted from the own house during the cold period of the year, if they do not have another place of stay, during a state of emergency, siege or war and during a state of public health emergency. The list of goods and incomes that cannot be sequestrated will be extended. For example, if the debtor is a farmer, the food needed until the new harvest, the animals that help earn one s’s living and the fodder needed until the new harvest cannot be sequestrated.
