The current power does not have the right to do large-scale reforms owing to its insufficient legitimacy. Reforms are needed and are done in accordance with the obligations assumed before the development partners. Contradictory statements on the issue were made in the program “Key issue” on NTV Moldova channel, IPN reports.
Political analyst Victor Ciobanu said the current government does not have the right to implement large-scale reforms owing to its reduced legitimacy. When there is such a level of trust the power should actually resign and early elections should be held. Reforms can be done afterward. “Win the elections first and do reforms then,” he stated.
The analyst said the administrative reform should be done first and the electoral system change and Government reform should be discussed later. The Government reform initiated by the authorities is done in political conjuncture, as the other reforms.
Socialist MP Bogdan Tardea in the program said it seems that the Government reform is done in a hurry because it is not yet clear how many ministries and agencies will be and what duties they will have. “There are fears that this is done with the aim of building the vertical of power before elections,” he stated.
Democratic MP Eugeniu Nichiforciuc said the Government reform is very important. It was well-thought-out and its implementation was indicated in the roadmap agreed with the partners from the EU. “What is done now is done with the aim of improving the management by reducing the Government apparatus and costs” stated Eugeniu Nichiforciuc.
