PCRM demands calling Parliament’s sitting

The members of the Communist parliamentary group say the Parliament should convene within three days. They signed an application, whereby they demand calling a special sitting of the legislative body, Info-Prim Neo reports, quoting a communiqué from the PCRM. The Communist group requests questioning the National Bank governor, the chairman of the National Financial Market Commission, the prosecutor general, the director of the Security and Information Service, and the head of the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime about the threats to the economic security of the state and the financial-banking sector. The Communist lawmakers say the attempts to appropriate important shareholdings in financial-banking institutions should be addressed in an extraordinary session of the Parliament. “The country’s economic security is in danger, but the administration of the National Bank of Moldova, the National Financial Market Commission, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Security and Information Service, and the Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime irresponsibly fulfill their duties,” says the PCRM. Earlier, the PLDM also asked calling a parliamentary sitting to question representatives of the mentioned institutions. Under Article 67, paragraph (2) of the Constitution of Moldova and Article 37 of the Parliament’s Regulations, the legislature holds extraordinary or special sittings at the request of the President of Moldova, Speaker or one third of the MPs.
