 President Igor Dodon said that after the new government took over, the representatives of the parliamentary majority achieved results, but there are yet a number of failures. Among the accomplishments, he noted the dismissal of the managers of a number of state institutions, maintaining of stability and restoration of the relations with the foreign partners, both from the West and from the East. The issue was developed in the talk show “Friday with Anatolie Golea” on RTR Moldova channel, IPN reports.

Among the failures, President Dodon mentioned the non-appointment of new managers at all the state institutions that remained without administration. Chiefs haven’t been yet named at the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Constitutional Court, the National Anticorrosion Center. A chairman at the Central Election Commission was appointed only recently. Things should be stepped up if the goal is to change the situation.

He noted that the Constitutional Court will have a new makeup in the middle of August. The Superior Council of Magistracy is to propose its candidates next week, while the Government will nominate its two candidates for CC judge at the start of August.

Igor Dodon said the fact that no one has been yet held accountable for the illegalities committed in the state is another failure of the current government. He voiced hope that an acting prosecutor general will be soon named and this will bring criminal proceedings against high-ranking officials and the immunity of some of the MPs will be lifted when Parliament will return to work after vacation in the middle of August.

He stated the non-agreeing of the parameters based on which the government coalition will work further is another failure. “It is easy to unite against something, but it is more difficult to unite for a particular cause. At the first stage, we combined forces to ensure the de-oligarchization and have to work yet in this regard, but we should urgently decide what we will do further: how we will ensure the rise in pensions and economic growth, how we will build institutions so as to exclude an oligarchic power in the future. So, we must agree the common principle according to which we will work and what unites us,” said President Dodon.
