Socialists: All Citizens of Moldova Lost from the Constitutional Court’s Decision

All citizens of Moldova lost from yesterday’s decision of the Constitutional Court (CC),” said Corneliu Furculita, chairman of the PSRM faction in parliament. He wrote on social media that the Pro-Shor group, supported by deputies of Maia Sandu and Andrei Nastase, ensured that the airport charge of 9 euros in full was “left in Ilan Shor’s pocket”, although the government decided to send half of this sum to the account of a special state budget fund to combat the coronavirus pandemic, infotag.md reports. “Several tens of thousands of HoReCa workers lost, who will continue to pay 20% VAT instead of the 15% proposed by the government,” the socialist said, expressing regret that the government will now have to find another opportunity to give solutions to pressing issues that citizens are waiting for. Another socialist deputy, Vladimir Golovatiuc, also believes that deputies who have challenged government anti-crisis measures in the Constitutional Court wish that the situation in the country only gets worse. He admitted in an interview with Accent-TV that he, “as a citizen and deputy, was shocked by the decision of the Constitutional Court.” “In the situation established in our republic and almost all countries of the world, it is necessary to consolidate all the forces of society, all branches of government to fight this evil. Today the country needs quick, prompt actions, quick, prompt intervention! Support is needed for the population, budget sphere, business, aimed at mitigating the situation in the economy. The government looks a little further than some politicians. It is necessary to ensure the normal course of economic activity!” the deputy said. According to him, the government’s initiatives are aimed “specifically at supporting a certain, fairly wide part of the population and business.” “Those people who filed this request with the Constitutional Court, they quibble over some details, not knowing the arguments. The government does not look one step ahead - three steps forward. Because last year, when they adopted the budget and the Chicu government took the oath, it was said that Moldova will turn into a large construction site! On top of that, these initiatives are aimed at this,” Golovatiuс said, expressing the opinion that “the whole society needs to rally around the president and government to help them overcome the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic”.
