The MPs expressed dissenting opinions about the request of the Prosecutor General's Office to lift the parliamentary immunity of the Communist leader Vladimir Voronin. The head of the Liberal-Democratic parliamentary group Mihai Godea said the PLDM will support this request as the parliamentary immunity is a remnant of the totalitarian system. “Even if the MPs are officials elected by the people, they are ordinary people who should not enjoy so many privileges,” Godea said. As to the PACE immunity, he said he does not know cases when a PACE member had been investigated. The president of the Democratic Party Marian Lupu said he does not settle political accounts and will take a decision only after he listens to the report of the legal commission for appointments and immunities which on September 27 will decide if there are reasons for withdrawing Voronin's immunity. “If the commission rules the immunity should be lifted, the PDM will vote in favor,” Marian Lupu said. “Love is always mutual. In 2005, Voronin voted in favor of lifting my parliamentary immunity,” said Serafim Urecheanu, the leader of the Moldova Noastra Alliance. According to the first deputy speaker, Vladimir Voronin should not be worried if he is not guilty. He also said that Moldova does not need parliamentary immunity if it wants to be a state of law. On September 18, the prosecutors started to investigate Vladimir Voronin over the death of a person during the April 2009 events and over the devastation of the Parliament Building and the Presidential Office, Info-Prim Neo reports.
