Parliament extended the mandate of the commission of inquiry into the elucidation of the sale of property of trade unions. The commission will work until February 1, 2021. After all the parties are questioned and the information provided by the responsible institutions is examined, it will present a report in Parliament. The extension of the mandate was requested because the commission was unable to work due to the pandemic, IPN reports.

The commission of inquiry into the elucidation of the sale of property of trade unions was constituted in the middle of this February at the suggestion of the PAS and PPPDA MPs and was to complete its duties in May.

According to the MPs, after the dissolution of the USSR, the Republic of Moldova came into impressive inheritance estimated at over US$200 million. This property inherited from the Soviet trade union organization included buildings, tourist resorts, sanatoriums, sports facilities, camping areas and camps. The journalistic investigations presenting cases of fraudulent management of the property of trade unions of the Republic of Moldova, through the agency of the National Confederation of Trade Unions of Moldova, show that the leaders of these weren’t concerned about the protection of the rights of employees, including the property ones.
