Alliance should have adopted Friday laws much earlier, analyst

The Alliance for European Integration could have been more efficient if it had adopted the Law on Ensuring Equality and the amendments to the Anticorruption Center Law earlier, thinks political analyst Anatol Taranu. The analyst suggests that had the laws been adopted earlier, the extent of controversy around them would have been lesser. “They created opportunities for the political opposition to contest these laws and create zones of tension in society. Eventually they did the right thing, but they could have been more efficient in this respect”, Anatol Taranu told Info-Prim Neo. This delay in adopting the laws showed controversies within society and this obviously reflected in the activity of politicians, including of those in Parliament. “The fact that they were eventually adopted indicates that the Alliance is willing to implement its government program in practice. These laws have to do with Moldova's European integration and obviously the Alliance could not have omitted them. Even if there were different views on these laws, the Alliance was obliged to pass them. Otherwise, the essence of such an alliance itself disappears”, said Anatol Taranu. Parliament on Friday adopted the Law on Ensuring Equality and a law on the reformation of the Anticorruption Center. These were the last two pieces of legislation due under the Moldova-EU Action Plan before the European Commission could decide on the advancement to the implementation phase of the visa liberalization process.
