Vitalie Nagachevski: “PLDM is attacked by PCRM and another political player”
Liberal-Democrat MP Vitalie Nagachevski said the Liberal Democratic Party (PLDM) is attacked not only by the Communists Party (PCRM), but also by another political player. He alluded to the Liberal Party (PL) when he got into an argument with Mayor General of Chisinau Dorin Chirtoaca, the vice president of the PL, during the TV program “In Profunzime” on April 12, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The argument was about the final report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the April 2009 events, which will be made public at a sitting of the Parliament on April 23. Dorin Chirtoaca reproached Vitalie Nagachevski, who heads the commission, for not informing the Prosecutor General's Office, the Ministry of the Interior and other institutions about the fact that police officers who had been involved in the April events continue to work in the police and some of them hold high-ranking posts.
“The Parliament will adopt a report. But what measures will be taken then? I expected that this commission will furnish the Prosecutor General's Office and the Ministry of the Interior with more information. What shall we tell the people if these police officers are promoted,” Dorin Chirtoaca asked.
Vitalie Nagachevski replied that the commission only ascertains facts and cannot accuse and sanction persons. He gave as example the case when officials of the Chisinau City Hall were fired by Chirtoaca, but were then reinstated in posts by the court.
“The commission tries to get at the truth. We will do our utmost so that the persons to blame be held accountable,” Nagachevski said. He stated that he does not agree with the statements that during half a year the commission provided not answer as to what happened in April last year. According to him, the reading of the report will be interesting.
A bill with recommendations will be formulated on the basis of the report prepared by the commission and will be submitted to the Parliament for adoption.
Vitalie Nagachevski said they cannot agree with the Communist MPs, who form part of the parliamentary commission of inquiry, over a number of issues. According to him, the Communist lawmakers say the young people did not have the right to stage protests as the April 5 elections had not been rigged, while the Alliance for European Integration says the opposite.
