The current composition of Parliament, which is completing its mandate, turned out to be the most shameful one in the country’s history, considers the Socialist parliamentary group. In a news conference on November 28, Socialist MPs said the current Parliament has consisted of persons who earlier hid a terrible truth about the theft of the €1 billion from the national financial-banking system. They stated the new parliamentary majority was formed by manipulation and open buying of MPs, IPN reports.
The Socialist parliamentary group issued a statement, saying the Democratic Party, whose parliamentary group initially had 19 members, grew twice later. “The voting in of the Government of Pavel Filip on January 20, 2016, when tens of thousands of people were protesting in front of the Parliament Building in cold, was a separate page in the history of the 20th Parliament. This decision became possible owing to the votes of those turncoat MPs,” says the statement.
The president of the Party of Socialists (PSRM) Zinaida Grecheanyi said during four years Parliament accepted 50 bills submitted by the Socialist MPs and rejected 132 bills formulated by them, with tens of draft laws being in the legislative process. All these initiatives are socioeconomic in character.
Zinaida Grecheanyi noted the parliamentary majority rejected dozens of initiatives proposed by President Igor Dodon, who is the informal leader of the PSRM. These concerned the annulment of the law that makes the people repay the embezzled banking funds, recalculation of pensions two times a year, establishment of the maternity capital, protection of persons with disabilities and also the protection of statehood, banning of unionism and modification of approaches in the education system.
“Many of the bills were cynically copied and fielded as own bills by the parliamentary majority. In this connection, the parliamentary group of the PSRM says for us not who signs the bills is important. For us, it is important for the laws to work in favor of the citizens,” runs the party’s statement.
