The leader of the Party of Communists (PCRM) Vladimir Voronin said that he will support the bill enabling to dismiss the heads of a number of institutions that are under parliamentary control, which was presented by PAS MP Sergiu Litvinenco. He noted the institutions enumerated in the bill are fully inefficient and even deserve to be liquidated. The leader of the PCRM stated the decision to vote for this bill is his personal decision and this wasn’t coordinated with the Party of Socialists, IPN reports.
Vladimir Voronin said that in the party’s congress that will be held until the end of this year, he will not apply again for the post of PCRM president and will withdraw.
“Changes are needed. The whole country does changes. Should the Communists lag behind? I think I will be correctly understood by the party’s local organizations, by the Communists. My tenure as leader of PCRM is too long. There are no other such examples in the history of the Communist Parties, starting with Lenin. It’s time to leave. The precondition was to leave a parliamentary party behind,” Vladimir Voronin said in the talk show “The Fourth Estate” on N4 channel.
He noted he will vote for the bill to remove the chefs of a number of institutions that are under parliamentary control as these do not deserve the exorbitant salaries they get.
“I will vote “for” as the Audiovisual Council and the National Agency for Energy Regulation should be liquidated. In the parliamentary commission, I proposed liquidating these institutions and Litvinenco said he agrees with me. Everyone should be driven away. None of these institutions deals with what they should. The salary of the NAER chiefs depends on the tariff for fuel, for electrical energy. If the tariff increases, their salaries rise. They get by 80,000 lei a month. The people struggle to survive, to have electricity and gas, but these chiefs do not care,” stated Vladimir Voronin.
On September 2, Minister of Justice Sergiu Litvinenco presented a bill that is designed to increase the responsibility of managers of a number of public institutions that are under parliamentary control, such as the National Agency for Energy Regulation, the Competition Council, the National Dispute Resolution Agency and the Audiovisual Council. Under the bill, Parliament, through the agency of its working bodies, will analyze the activity of these public institutions and the managers of these entities will be dismissed if defective management is identified.
