The Government made a call to the MPs, urging them to concentrate this week on the draft state budget and draft budgetary-fiscal policy for next year and to propose amendments that they consider important so that the executive could examine them and issue appraisals in the hope that the documents will be put to the final vote next week, IPN reports.
After the meeting of senior state officials on December 7, Prime Minister Ion Chicu came with a reaction to the latest political events. He said that after the presidential runoff, the Republic of Moldova entered another election campaign, that prior to the snap parliamentary elections. “The Government has a moral duty to the society – to promote the budgetary-fiscal laws. Otherwise, the country, staring with February, will experience serious problems in the payment of salaries and pensions,” stated the official.
The draft budgetary-fiscal and customs policy, state budget, mandatory health insurance funds budget and social insurance budget for next year were adopted by a majority of votes in Parliament on December 3, in the absence of debates and amid the opposition’s protest.
