Speaker Marian Lupu still does not know if ministers learned the official language

Speaker Marian Lupu is expecting the report of the Government that has to read before Parliament. The report is to show to what extent several members of the Cabinet know the official language. Lupu made this statement on Thursday, February 8 at the first sitting of the spring-autumn session of Parliament, after the MP Igor Klipii reminded that 15 MPs submitted a proposal at the end of the last session by means of which they solicited the dismissal of several members of the Government because they did not know the official language. According to the Regulations of Parliament, the proposal had to be examined within 6 days. Lupu confirmed the fact that the Government did not observe the legal term, delaying the presentation of the report, but he promised he will supervise this issue through the Standing Committee which will draw up the agenda for the next 2 weeks. He promised that this issue will be certainly discussed. In the proposal presented in late December 2006, 15 MPs solicited the dismissal of several Members of the Government because they did not know the official language. These were Minister of Reintegration Vasili Sova, former Minister of Transports and Road Management Miron Gagauz, Minister of Informational Development Vladimir Molojen, director of Construction and Territory Development Agency Igor Semenovker, and director of Landed Relations Agency Alexandr Bannicov.
