The Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” (PPPDA) disputed in the Constitutional Court (CC) the capping of local taxes. According to PPPDA vice president Alexandru Slusari, the capping of these taxes runs counter to the international commitments undertaken by the national authorities in the field of local democracy, especially on the Recommendation of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe, IPN reports.
“These legislative norms adopted, as many other laws, with serious violations of the procedure, represent direct limitation of local self-government,” Alexandru Slusari posted on Facebook.
The draft budgetary-fiscal policy by which caps are introduced on local taxes that were earlier set by the local public authorities was adopted by the MPs of the Party of Socialists and the Platform “For Moldova” in a sitting held late at night on December 16.
