MP demands for the President's honor resignation for recognizing to have turned Moldova into mafia state

The deputy president of the European Action Movement, MP Ion Neagu, asked in the Parliament on Thursday for the President's honor resignation. The parliamentarian reasoned that, “truthfully calling the traffic police a mafia-type structure”, the President “recognized, by himself and not impelled by anyone, to have built a mafia-type state in Moldova,” Info-Prim Neo reports. Ion Neagu has said that starting from 2001 most of the state structures have become corrupted. “As instructed by Voronin, penal probes are started or canceled. The court decisions are not fulfilled. The uncomfortable companies get ruined, managers get into prisons or impelled to abandon or to cede their businesses to his beloved son. State dignitaries, ranging from the parliament speaker, the premier, to district presidents, are blackmailed by trials and impelled to blindly execute the instructions of the big leader,” the parliamentarian specified. After making his statement, Ion Neagu asked for the President's resignation, asking the speaker to name the date of the sitting in this respect, but the move was rejected by the Communist majority. At the same siting, Liberal-Democrat leader Vlad Filat has asked to invite premier Zinaida Greceanai into the Parliament the next sitting to report on the activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the MP, hearings are needed concerning the corruption in the law enforcing bodies, as not only the traffic police violate the law. The citizens are arrested, tortured, deprived of properties etc. by other police, too, said Vlad Filat. On May 19, the head of the state asked the Interior Ministry to fire 50% of the traffic police, qualifying the structure as “a mafia-type creature”.
