The Liberal-Democratic MP Valeriu Strelet considers the Gaburici Government is able to cope with the governance-related challenges, while representatives of civil society are yet more pessimistic in this respect. The issue was discussed in the talk show “Place for dialogue” on the public station Radio Moldova, IPN reports.
The Liberal-Democrat said all the ministers are good specialists. “I have confidence in them. I accompanied Gaburici at different meetings. He is a calm and confident man. I trust him even if some of the members of our society didn’t welcome him. Time should be first allotted to him so that he shows what he can do. He can be criticized afterward. Time will show what this man can do. The Azeri company where Gaburici worked praised him a lot. He is an excellent manager, but is not formed yet as a politician,” he said.
Strelet also said that one of the main bills that Parliament will put to the vote in the immediate future is the 2005 draft state budget and budgetary-fiscal policy law. “This law, which is very important for the economy, should have been adopted long ago. I know that the 2005 draft state budget law will be examined and approved by the Government at the beginning of next week and will be then submitted to Parliament for adoption,” he stated.
In the same program, the director of the Resource Center for Human Rights (CReDO) Sergiu Ostaf said the new Premier didn’t answer several questions put to him by civil society, but these are of increased public interest. “It is the essence of civil society to question particular abilities of a newly voted in Prime Minister. We had two questions to Gaburici, related to his ability to cope with a very difficult situation and the elucidation of public notifications about Gaburici’s performance in the posts he held earlier. Regretfully, no answer came,” he stated.
Within a telephone call, Nicu Popescu, researcher at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said the dialogue between the ruling alliance and the PCRM will be difficult in the future. “The existence of a minority government is a rather negative signal for the people and the Europeans,” he stated.
