The vice president of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) Alexandru Slusari said the government follows a wrong and dangerous path in its effort to overcome the socioeconomic crisis that more extensively embraces Moldova. According to the MP, the measures proposed by the “Dodon government’” stimulate unemployment and destruction of whole sectors of the economy and, implicitly, generate social revolt, IPN reports.
Alexandru Slusari noted the small and medium-sized businesses will be the worst hit. “We do not want such a scenario. It is not yet late to prevent it, especially because Moldova can soon obtain approximately 8 billion lei from foreign sources in the form of loans and grants, while the Ministry of Finance is expected to borrow 1.2 billion lei from commercial banks these days,” the MP posed on Facebook.
The PPPDA filed a document to the Government and the Commission for Exceptional Situations, proposing its measures, such as: to amend the national public budget by maximally reducing the costs of the central public authorities; to abandon the largest part of the planned investments; to introduce a permanent bonus of 100% of the salary for doctors and medical personnel who directly come into contact with infected persons during the pandemic.
The party also suggested introducing the motion of “stationing” during the state of emergency in the labor legislation, providing allowances from the social insurance budget for April-May to all the employees of companies that stopped work or contracted their activity under ordinances made by the Commission for Exceptional Situations, equal to 50% of the salary. Concomitantly, employers will pay another 1/3 of the salary.
