The governor of the National Bank of Moldova Sergiu Cioclea announced his resignation. According to Cioclea, his decision was based on personal reasons, but the tasks he undertook when he took up the post of governor were achieved. The banking system is now solid and this is confirmed not only by the unprecedented levels of foreign investment, but also by the assessments carried out by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Commission.

The governor of the central bank said the adoption of the strategic plan for the next three years marks a new, very important stage in the reformation process conducted by the National Bank. “It is a confirmation of the fact that we overcame the crisis and can now think about radical high-quality changes to strengthen the effects of reforms, to extend them so that these reforms generate concrete benefits for the real economy, business entities and our citizens,” said Sergiu Cioclea.

As many TV channels on November 18 showed people who were saying they got no recompense for their participation in the Socialists’ protest, Socialist MP Grigore Novac had to confirm for journalists that the people didn’t receive money to take part in the march and the protest mounted by the Party of Socialists.

As to the minors seen among the participants in the party’s march, Grigore Novac said these children were near their parents and didn’t come by themselves. “If the parents consider this is opportune, we cannot ban them and tell them where to go with their children, when  and at what hour. It is a matter related exclusively to the family,” stated the MP, as if he does not know what the law says about this.
