Journalist Alex Cozer said the resignations witnessed now in the prosecution service are just a very big frustration. He referred to the resignation of Adrianei Bețișor from the post of acting Anticorruption Prosecutor. According to him, Adriana Bețișor should not only be dismissed, but should also be investigated for the committed illegalities, IPN reports.

“This so-called resignation from the post of acting chief means absolutely nothing. These are words and attempts to make us ignore things. Something like this cannot be accepted and the current government should be much more intransigent and we should see real resignations. I didn’t hear any of the leaders of the current government clearly seeking the resignation of Eduard Harunjen from the post of persecutor general, as it happened in other cases,” the journalists stated in a program on TV8 channel.

Political commentator Alexei Tulbure said the managers of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Police should be removed so as to restore the proper activity of these institutions. The new administration should definitely be elected at a contest. The personnel of the two institutions should also be replaced. “We have good legislation in the system, but have rotten persons in this. This is the problem of our system and this element should be changed and the system will then start to work,” he stated, noting the Georgian model of renewal of institutions by which all the employees were dismissed and could enter again the system only as a result of a contest can be applied in Moldova as well.

Jurist Pavel Midrigan noted an analysis team should be set up for each area to find solutions for reforming some of the institutions. “An expert commission formed of persons who know the system is needed. The members could be European experts. These should suggest concrete steps in the shortest period of time,” he stated, adding the Prosecutor’s Office is a kind of “bastion” of the former power and the managers of this were instructed not to reign. “Nothing moves on in the penal system without a prosecutor,” said the jurist.
