MPs of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) registered a package of laws, noting that these are designed to solve the problem of closure of enterprises amid the epidemiological crisis and the temporary layoffs, IPN reports.
In a posting on Facebook, PPPDA vice president Alexandru Slusari, Deputy Parliament Speaker, said the proposed bills enable the employers and the state, in a situation of epidemiological crisis when the enterprises stop work, to share the financial burden in supporting the employees. The employer would pay one third, while the social budget 50% of the salaries of persons made redundant.
The PPPDA suggests that the state should take care of the traders affected by the closure of markets. “For the largest majority of these, retail trade was the only source of existence,” stated Alexandru Slusari.
He noted that beyond the fiscal relaxation for the business community, the authorities should redirect the largest part of the budget resources to support the salary earners and entrepreneurs who had to stop work. Or Moldova should wait for a large-scale socioeconomic crisis. The entrepreneurs working in such areas as public food, trade, tourism, transport, hotels and textiles industry were already affected. Exports and remittances are expected to decline considerably and the unemployed will not have where to go abroad to work.
“Other European states, such as Romania, intervened in this project with significant financial injections,” stated the MP.
