Chisinau's mayor Dorin Chirtoaca again stated he was against issuing the authorization to rebuild the Parliament, arguing the cost is too high. “In the circumstances of the hard economic crisis, rebuilding a building attached to the Parliament would be an unreasonable waste of money and a mockery in the address of the Moldovan citizens,” the mayor told the staff meeting of the city hall on Monday, Info-Prim Neo reports.
Vasile Olari, the head of the constructions discipline division, has said the Constructions Ministry has asked for only one certificate to repair the building and to build an adjacent building.
According to the law, the ministry needs two authorizations: one to be issued by the Chisinau Municipal Council and the second was already issued after the parliament's building was devastated in the April 7 street protests, Vasile Olari specified.
The general mayor ordered to inform the Constructions Ministry about the legal procedures of issuing urbanism certificates. Dorin Chirtoaca says that, in the same letter, they will ask the ministry to produce the blue prints and calculations.
Constructions minister Vladimir Baldovici said last week that the damages brought to the Parliament's building were assessed at 78.9 million lei. But the total expenditures are assessed at 250.6 million lei.
Both the Parliament and the Presidency are being repaired as all their infrastructure will be replaced. The MPs' offices will be locked by cards and electronic voting equipment will be installed in the session hall. The construction of the adjacent building is assessed at 75 million lei.
