The coming days the Bloc ACUM will introduce a legislative proposal by which the law that enables to open gas stations in duty free zones would be repealed, the leader of the Party “Action and Solidary” Maia Sandu, MP on behalf of the Bloc ACUM, stated in the talk show “Expertise hour” on Jurnal TV channel, IPN reports.

According to her, this law was adopted by the Democratic MPs and was promulgated by President Igor Dodon. Maia Sandu considers this law was formulated strictly for promoting the businesses of Ilan Shor.

“This law is unconstitutional and implies enormous costs for the state budget. For example, if ten gas stations are opened in these duty free zones, we calculated that the budget will lose approximately 100 million lei,” stated the politician.

Maia Sandu also invited civil society to discuss ACUM’s bill to annul the law on citizenship by investment that was promulgated to protect and promote corruption schemes. “It is a proposal designed to reduce the European Union’s concerns that this law on citizenship could affect the visa-free regime with the EU,” she stated.

The PAS leader noted the Bloc ACUM continues to plead for restoring the proportional voting system that can ensure more or less balanced snap elections, if these take place.
