The MPs of the Bloc of Communists and Socialists (BCS) presented a no-confidence motion against the Recean Cabinet in Thursday’s sitting of Parliament. They argued that the country during over two years has been governed under a state of emergency and experiences a profound socioeconomic crisis with attacks on the rule of law, IPN reports.

“The ministers from the current Cabinet got out of the parliamentary control and the control of the people of the Republic of Moldova, destroying step by step the yet frail foundations of the Republic of Moldova by creating commissions and centers of loyalty for supervising and removing inconvenient functionaries and rivals, employing different schemes to purchase energy resources, ignoring the needs of the national economy,” said BCS MP Tatiana Kunetski, reading the text of the motion.

According to her, the businesses and the citizens face difficulties, but the Government does not apply support mechanisms. The situation in the social protection sector is as serious as in the economic sector. “For ministers, they found resources to raise the pays to even 70,000 lei a month, while for pensioners they could not find money,” stated the MP.

“For whose benefit does this Government design its policies? What about the country’s energy security on the brink of winter? What reserves of energy resources do we have and what is their balance? What is the Government’s action plan for the coming winter period? Who is responsible at the central level for energy security and who is responsible for force majeure situations in the field,” asked Tatiana Kunetski rhetorically.

Under the Parliament’s Regulations, a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet is initiated by at least ¼ of the elected MPs and is debated on the first day of the plenary sitting of the week coming after the week the motion is proposed. It is adopted by a majority of votes of MP.
