The deputy head of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform”, MP Alexandru Slusari wonders what’s the reason behind the partial closure of markets that was ordered by the National Extraordinary Public Health Commission. The party’s parliamentary group intends to demand that this subject should be discussed on the parliamentary platform, the MP informed, being quoted by IPN.

“My phone has been red since morning. What’s the reason behind the partial closure of commercial markets? Was the largest number of hotbeds of infection discovered there? It is now not clear why the units of the hospitality industry cannot work at night if they ensure all the conditions for maintaining social distancing. The interim government that does not answer for anything hits again the poorest ones, those who now get frozen in markets with minuscule sales so as to survive, while the supermarkets that are crowded daily by people will have additional profits,” the MP posted on Facebook. According to him, those who decided to limit the activity of markets do not propose any compensatory measure even if the affected traders pay social insurance contributions.

The National Extraordinary Public Health Commission, which extended the state of public health emergency until April 15, decided that the shopping centers will be closed on the weekend as from February 17. Also, the markets, except for farmers’ markets, will work only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
