“Promo-Lex” Association has launched the platform 101.promolex.md. The website offers relevant information about the work of Moldova’s Parliament and about the MPs from the country’s lawmaking body. According to representatives of Promo-Lex, the goal of the platform is to increase transparency and visibility of Parliament, to make the institution and the MPs more responsible and to facilitate interaction between the MPs and the citizens, IPN reports.
The platform 101.promolex.md contains information about the Parliament’s sittings, the results of the votes on bills debated in Parliament and information about the work done by MPs. The website facilitates access to data that are sometimes inaccessible, to information about MPs’ tax returns and their presence at or absence from the Parliament sittings.
“The chapter about the MPs ensures greater transparency and better interaction between citizens and MPs. We consider it is also important to make the MPs’ image visible. We offer bibliographical information about MPs, their CVs and also information about the work of Parliament, of the parliamentary commission of which the MPs forms part, if we identify and upload this information. We can also see the votes given by MPs in plenary sittings. There is also information about the number of legislative proposals, attendance of MPs as we consider it is important for the people to know how the MPs attend the sittings as this information is absent from the Parliament’s website,” said the representative of Promo-Lex Mihaela Duca-Anghelici.
“Another category of information refers to standing commissions, namely the composition of commissions, contact data, held hearings and meetings and access to the minutes of all the meetings. Another type of information that can be identified on this platform refers to parliamentary control. It goes to ex-post evaluations, reports or parliamentary hearings featuring public institutions,” said Promo-Lex’s representative Dina Boțan.
“We publish all the syntheses, analyses we produce immediately after each Parliament siting and other studies we carry out. Promo-Lex Association started to monitor the Parliament’s work in 2016. During 2016-2019, we made a monitoring effort centering on parliamentary control. Since 2021, we have aimed to extend the monitoring over all the work done by Parliament. We perceive the launched website as an instrument through which we provide the public with what we collect in the monitoring process,” said Nicolae Panfil, of Promo-Lex.
The website 101.promolex.md was designed within the framework of the program “Democracy, Transparency and Responsibility” that has been implemented by Promo-Lex Association in 2016-2025, with financial support from USAID.
