Ministers are not to blame for drivers’ inattention, Mihai Ghimpu

The Liberal Party head Mihai Ghimpu said the Communists’ demand to dismiss the minister of transport and the minister of the interior is a speculation based on the tragedy that happened near Bulboaca on November 1, Info-Prim Neo reports. “What is the minister’s guilt if the drivers are not attentive? They either count the money or tie the laces while driving. I’m a driver and know how the traffic lights at placed at railroad crossings. I think the legislation should be changed so as not to allow everyone to drive a unit transporting passengers. The Communist lawmakers shouldn’t have speculated on a tragedy,” said Mihai Ghimpu. In the November 3 sitting of the legislative body, the Communist MPs asked discharging Minister of the Interior Alexei Roibu and Minister of Transport and Road Infrastructure Anatol Salaru. A minibus running on the Anenii-Noi – Serpeni road was hit by a train near Bulboaca village on November 1. Eight persons were killed and more than ten injured.
