Opposition Boycott
“The Socialist faction will not participate in the work of this commission, as we do not believe it will yield any results,” said PSRM MP Vlad Batrincha.
“Instead of allowing an independent investigation, PAS refuses to hand over leadership of this commission to the opposition. Our party will not participate in this farce,” said Elena Gritsko, a deputy from “Our Party.”
“The Democrația Acasă faction has complete confidence in Mr. Radu Marian and nominates him as a member of the commission,” remarked Anna Tsurkan-Oborok, a member of the faction, ironically.
“We will not be complicit in this act of fraud that you have staged today,” said Gaik Vartanyan, a member of the “Alternative” bloc.
PAS MP Doina German stated that the opposition’s move was “an attempt to derail the Republic of Moldova’s European course.” She added, “But we will still lead the country into the European Union.”
Abuses, personnel appointments, and managementto be investigated
Thus, the investigative commission consists of 11 PAS deputies. Deputy Dinu Plîngeu was appointed chair of the commission.
In the course of its work, the commission will verify whether state funds and property were managed in accordance with the law. At the same time, commission members will analyze potential losses incurred by state-owned enterprises and assess the effectiveness of government agencies in preventing and detecting violations or abuses by the management of these enterprises.
Members of the investigative commission will examine cases where employees were hired in violation of legal procedures and the principles of meritocracy, professionalism, and integrity. The commission will examine the compensation levels of executives and employees at state-owned enterprises, as well as the situation at enterprises that are in the process of insolvency (bankruptcy) or are incurring financial losses.
The investigative commission will submit a report on the results of its work within 60 days.
It is worth noting that on June 26, the Socialist faction registered a draft resolution to establish an investigative commission to exercise parliamentary oversight over the procedures for selecting, nominating, and appointing individuals to government positions in government agencies and state-owned enterprises during the period from 2021and 2026. However, this initiative was not included on the agenda of the plenary session of Parliament.
It should be recalled that President Maia Sandu, during a press conference held on Wednesday, July 1, President Maia Sandu spoke of serious systemic failures in the management of state-owned enterprises and identified areas requiring radical intervention and a “cleanup” within government agencies.”
