In this connection, MP of the Party of Action and Solidarity Eugeniu Sinkevich said that two more MPs allowed “to be bought as at the Central Market”. “The citizens who voted for the Party of Socialists didn’t vote for the party of a fugitive who is now in Israel, a billions thief. Out of respect for the people who voted for the Party of Socialists, the MPs who allowed to be bought should vacate their seats. This is the least they can do,” he stated, asking the administration of the PSRM to comment on such moves as these never made accusations against those who bought MPs, against Ilan Shor.
