The inaugural meeting of the Parliament elected on November 30 was strictly formal and even marked by some deviations, say the experts that analyzed the event during the “Fabrika” talk-show on Publika TV, IPN reports.
Vitalie Gamurari, a constitutional law expert, noted that the meeting confirmed the rumors that the leaders of the three pro-European parties couldn't reach an understanding. “Unfortunately, the coalition people are expecting hasn't been formed. Most of us voted for them halfheartedly just in order to save the country's pro-European future. 2014 hasn't been a tough year because there haven't been any reforms. The real difficulties will begin in 2015 when politicians will have to truly implement the reforms and our European partners won't just wait quietly aside”, opined the expert.
Political analyst thinks that one of the mistakes committed by the MPs at the meeting is that they haven't announced the date of the next meeting of Parliament. “It's a weird situation when we have MPs, but we don't have a leadership. The next meeting doesn't have a date. If there is no Speaker, then the oldest MP should announce it. In fact, the Parliament regulation doesn't cover such a situation. I think the MPs of the pro-European parties ought to meet and fix the date for the next parliamentary meeting”, said Mihaes.
Former MP Stefan Secareanu remarked that it's for the first in the history of Moldova when the Speaker isn't elected at the first meeting of the Parliament and blamed the pro-European parties for this. “The majority that the people anticipated hasn't been formed. It has never happened before”, said Secareanu.
The talk-show's permanent guest, journalist Cristian Tabara, said that the first meeting of the new Parliament was dominated by the Socialists. “The Speaker wasn't elected, the meeting was chaired by a Socialist and then Igor Dodon took the floor and poured all that dirt. But the worst thing is that people already don't really care about whose fault it is”, concluded Tabara.
