The legislative proposal was submitted by a group of Socialist MPs. After the MPs of the Shor Party proposed a similar bill, the two proposals were merged. The provisions are to take effect on January 1, 2022, as the Socialists’ bill provides.
The MPs of the PAS, PPPDA and PDM weren’t present in the assembly hall when the given bill was put to the vote. They left earlier, saying the agenda of today’s sitting wasn’t consulted with them and was “toxic”. The MPs of Pro Moldova also left the hall, making reference to the items from the agenda.
