The parliamentary group of the Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” drafted and registered a bill by which it proposes increasing the monthly allowance intended for veterans with severe disabilities from 1,000 to 2,000 lei, IPN reports.
In a press briefing, PPPDA MP Kiril Moțpan said that 81 of the 1,024 Nistru war veterans registered with the National House of Social Insurance died since the start of 2020 until April 1 this year. Of the 943 veterans who remained alive, 76 have severe disabilities, but they don’t receive appropriate treatment for their health problems and do not benefit from the concessions deserved as persons who sacrificed their health for the independence of the Republic of Moldova.
“It is important to recognize and appreciate the incontestable contribution of the veterans who keep the memory of the hard times through which the Republic of Moldova went and also because the Nistru war veterans for the Republic of Moldova play a role similar to that of Parliament. Parliament voted the Independence, while the war veterans protected it with the price of their life,” stated Kiril Moțpan.
