The deputy head of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) Alexandru Slusari said that even if a commission of inquiry is working, serious things happen at the state-owned enterprise Moldova’s Railways. Most of the employees haven’t been paid salaries for four months already. Some of them resign, while others get ready for protests. Also, at the contest to choose the director of the enterprise, the Socialist leader Igor Dodon is coordinating the candidacy of a person who is featured in the SIS reports. Igor Dodon already gave instructions as to the person who should win the contest and current acting director of the enterprise Adrian Onceanu applied to take part in the contest as a reserve variant, IPN reports.
In a press briefing, the MP said the enterprise’s debt now totals 837 million lei and the salary arrears come to 164 million lei of this sum. Alexandru Slusari reminded that the PPPDA considers the goal is to make this enterprise bankrupt by continuing the schemes of corruption in the absence of Government control. The subject should have been discussed by the Supreme Security Council long ago, but its examination has been put off for two times on the pretext that Adrian Onceanu didn’t come to the meeting.
The MP reiterated the request to the President to urgently convene the Supreme Security Council and discuss the situation at Moldova’s Railways as it goes to the fate of about 6,000 employees. He said that if protests are mounted, the PPPDA will join in the protesters. “The employees and the trade unions wait for a decision and want to attend this meeting of the SSC. There is no other solution. We have warned about the situation at Moldova’s Railways for several months. The situation worsens, but the authorities (influence factors and decision makers) do not take any step,” stated Alexandru Slusari.
