The proposal to reorganize the Government is not a reform, but rather an attempt to destroy the Government, ex-MP Victor Stepaniuc said in the program “Key issue” on NTV Moldova channel, IPN reports.
The former MP noted the reorganization of the Government is equal to its destruction. According to him, no wise party, especially a ruling one, will do reforms before elections. They normally should sum up the results and correct particular policies. It is evident that the ruling party will name its people in all the bodies and the administrative resources will be fully used by this government. “I don’t think that we, the ordinary people, should wait for something good from this reform,” stated Victor Stepaniuc.
Director of the Resource Center for Human Rights Sergiu Ostaf said the tasks of the reform are rather clear. Depoliticization is the first task. The second task is transform the Government into a center for coordinating state policies and the third is to make sure that the Government is flexible enough to decide by itself the organizational method and form. “The bill devotes too much attention to legal matters and not enough attention to the functioning of the Government’s center, to the surveillance of the bureaucratic administrative system, which is enormous and which deals with everything and nothing,” stated Sergiu Ostaf.
Journalist Igor Volnitski said that when they speak about reforms, they must clergy delimit the reform written on paper and the reform that is to be implemented. “We should take into account all the interests that oscillate around the planned reform,” he stated. According to him, the Government is between two large reforms – the pension system reform and the reform of the territorial-administrative system. Of these reforms, only the Government reform puts the authorities in a favorable light before the people.
On July 7, Parliament adopted the Government reform in the final reading.
