The priorities of the parliamentary agenda of the spring-summer session are divided according to the division lines of society, said Igor Botan, standing expert of the project “Developing political culture by public debates”. In the public debate “Conditions and specific features of Parliament’s spring-summer session”, which was organized by IPN News Agency and Radio Moldova, the expert said the priorities of the government and opposition are not convergent and cannot be brought together into a robust national body.
Igor Botan said there are now the priorities of the government and the priorities of the presidential administration, which generally coincide with the expectations of society. But there is also an extra-agenda announced by the leader of the Democratic Party Vlad Plahotniuc and this extra-priority is to modernize the political class. The goal is to shape all the behavioral lines of the political segments according to this extra-priority.
The expert noted there is a parliamentary alliance that imposes its agenda, but it is not clear on what basis this alliance is consolidated.
According to Igor Botan, the conflict in society is generated by the theft of the US$1 billion and the non-fulfillment of the promises made by those who have ruled during the last seven years. Those who compile the parliamentary agenda should explain what the current session will consist of so that the people know how to plan the own activities.
Making reference to the cooperation agreement that the leader of the Party of Socialists is to sign with the Chinese Communist Party, Igor Botan wondered how the Moldovan anti-globalist Socialists can shake hands with the Chinese globalists. “The President of China at a conference in Davos announced that he raises the pennon of globalism,” he stated.
The public debate “Conditions and specific features of Parliament’s spring-summer session” is the 70th installment of the series of debates “Developing political culture by public debates” that are staged with support from the Hanns Seidel Foundation of Germany..
