Parliamentary commission of inquiry into April events will render its report on May 7

The report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the April 2009 events will be presented at the May 7 sitting of the Parliament that will start at 14.00. The commission's chairman, MP Vitalie Nagacevschi has told Info-Prim Neo that the parties who form part of the Alliance for European Integration read the report and could adopt a decision based on it in Parliament. At the same time, the parliamentary group of the PCRM does not agree with the recommendations and conclusions contained in the report. According to Communist lawmaker Anatolie Zagorodnyi, the recommendations and conclusions were formulated by politically-affiliated Moldovan NGOs. Initially, the commission's report was to be rendered at a special sitting of the legislative body, but then the government coalition decided it will be discussed at an ordinary meeting. A draft decision on the report will be proposed for adoption in Parliament. One of the conclusions of the report is that the April 7, 2009 events did not constitute an attempted coup as the Communist Opposition maintains. “Not Nagacevschi's commission, but the Prosecutor General's Office should decide whether it was a coup or nor, “ Anatolie Zagorodnyi, who is a member of the commission, stated for Info-Prim Neo. The MP said the PCRM formulated a separate opinion. “We had a different opinion from the very beginning as this commission did nothing but make accusations against the police and the former administration of the country,” said Zagorodnyi. “We suggested questioning the persons who hoisted the two foreign flags and representatives of the association “The New Right”, whose members were seen at the Liberal Party's head office on April 7. We proposed analyzing the news conference given by Vlad Filat on April 6, 2009, where he said the PCRM hurried to drink champagne and many other things.” Anatolie Zagorodnyi also said that the Communist members of the commission were against naming Liberal-Democrat MP Vitalie Nagacevschi as chairman as he was directly involved in the April events. “The conclusions and recommendations included in the report were formulated not by the five lawmakers of the Liberal-Democrat coalition who formed part of the commission, but by CReDO, Amnesty International and other NGOs,” Zagorodnyi said. Asked to argue, the Communist MP said he realized it at the last meeting of the commission, when Vitalie Nagacevschi asked CreDO director Sergiu Ostaf to explain a point from the list of recommendations.
