The Shor Party, being in the opposite, didn’t manage to promote the legislative initiatives promised in the election campaign. Even if it didn’t manage to do it at the central level, this is done at the local level, in the localities of the two single-member constituencies where the party’s candidates won the elections on February 24, and in the over 40 localities where the Shor Party scored victories in this autumn’s local elections, the secretary of the Shor Party’s parliamentary group Marina Tauber stated for IPN at the end of the legislative session.
In the campaign prior to the parliamentary elections of February 2019, the leader of the Shor Party Ilan Shor made a series of promises to the people, including to increase the budget for several times, the social benefits, pensions and salaries and to set up state-owned enterprises and collective farms.
Marina Tauber said the party’s program is based on five pillars: economy, infrastructure, social projects, the fight against corruption and stimulation of the return of the people who went to live and work abroad. Orhei town and Jora de Mijloc village are given as an example in each of these sections. “In Orhei district, where we started out activity as a party and the activities in our constituencies, where mister president Ilan Shor said the people will live like in Monaco, we already did many things. In four localities, street lighting systems were built, while in the fifth and sixth localities the works go on,” stated the MP.
The project with the social stores and the Golden Age Club project are continued. The Shor Party remained an opposition party, but is in constructive opposition. However, its initiatives are not supported. One of these initiatives is for the prosecutor general to be chosen by the people. Another initiative is to annul the parliamentary immunity. On the other hand, the Shor Party, even if it is in opposition, often voted together with the Socialists, the MPs of the ACUM Bloc or the Democrats, when those were important initiatives for the people.
Asked about the party’s leader, MP Ilan Shor, who does not attend the Parliament’s sittings, Marina Tauber said this did for Orhei more than any of those who hold the seat of MP or minister not for the first time. He continued his political activity despite the difficult situation in which he is. “But believe me, when we have particular guarantees as to the life and security of our party’s president, probably also on the part of the foreign partners, he will hold a news conference and will provide information,” stated the MP.
In the February 24 parliamentary elections, the Shor Party won seven seats of MP, two of which in single-member constituency No. 18 Orhei – Ilan Shor, and in single-member constituency No. 19 Orhei, Rezina, Criuleni, Dubăsari – Marina Tauber.
