The Government’s priorities include the restoration of institutions’ capacities to work in the people’s interests, delivering of benefits, offering of social support to the citizens and management of the crises that have persisted in Moldova owing to the inherited baggage of problems that it has to solve now, Adrian Băluțel, MP of the Party of Action and Solidarity, stated in IPN’s public debate “Indulgence offered to the government expires. 100 days of rule in government’s, opposition‘s and society’s view”.
Adrian Băluțel called on society to assess the work done by the government during the first 100 days after reading the government program as to know what to demand from the authorities.
“The corrupt governments eroded the capacity of this state to work in the interests of the citizens. The major goal of the team from Parliament, from the Government is to increase the institutions’ capacity to work in the interests of the people so that these deliver immediate benefits to the citizens. The government proved this during the first 100 days, ensuring the biggest pension rise in the modern history of the Republic of Moldova, managing to reduce the tariffs for a number of public services, to restore the openness of the international community that offered financial support, including the EU and the partner countries. This will result in infrastructure projects, in direct support for the citizens and the population,” stated Adrian Băluțel.
He noted the PAS government aimed to provide immediate benefits to the citizens. The economic recovery is an important element of the Government’s program. The SMEs will be supported. During the first 100 days, there was adopted an exhaustive digitalization and de-bureaucratization package that will enable the entrepreneurs to work easier and to interact with the state easier, to keep further from the institutions that earlier used bureaucratic mechanisms for taking bribe and for all kinds of illegalities
The government said it clearly that it wants to clean the institutions. It stopped one of the biggest illegal acquisitions at the Public Property Agency. The citizens can also see how much the incomes of the Customs Service grew during the first 100 days and see what huge amount of money went to unknown directions.
The efficient management of the pandemic crisis is an important element of the PAS government. “We took over amid a pandemic crisis that was aggravated by a lot of political and administrative factors. The previous government put up great opposition to the implementation of the social protection measures and didn’t take measures to prevent the spread of the infection and, what’s more important, to ensure support and legitimacy to the vaccination campaign. Now the new government must cope and persuade the people to get vaccinated. In this regard, the government during the first 100 days did what hadn’t been done since the start of the pandemic – offered more days away from work to persons who get vaccinated, decided to pay unemployment benefit and others,” said Adrian Băluțel.
The public debate “Indulgence offered to the government expires. 100 days of rule in government’s, opposition‘s and society’s view” was the 211st installment of the series of debates held as part of the project “Developing Political Culture through Public Debates’ that is supported by the Hanns Seidel Foundation.
