The property statements presented to the authorities, besides incomes and expenses, should also contain the sums that these citizens contributed to the state budget, political analyst Victor Ciobanu stated in the program “Expertise hour” on Jurnal TV channel, IPN reports.
Victor Ciobanu developed the issue following the publication of property statements of candidates for MPs, who run on party lists, on the website of the Central Election Commission. “I’m not against having rich people, but I want to see how much they contribute to the state budget, the country’s economy as we see a very important thing: when the most influential person in the state keeps all his property in offshore areas and thus pays no taxes on these assess, I have to argument in favor of his intentions to do good to the country’s economy,” stated the analyst.
According to him, the property statements that appeared on the CEC’s website in the morning of January 8 disappeared shortly afterward.
Vice president of the Political Party “Dignity and Truth Platform” Alexandru Slusari, who is a candidate on behalf of the bloc ACUM DA PAS in a constituency in Chisinau, made reference to the incomes of the Democratic leader Vlad Plahotniuc. “It is immoral when a personage who has been in politics for over ten years and was involved in government directly or indirectly in the period declares a piano worth approximately 2,500 minimal pensions in the Republic of Moldova when 80% of pensioners get pensions lower than 2,000 lei. If we refer to morality, such a personage should not form part of Moldovan politics,” stated the politician.
