Dodon: The Law on Lustration Should Have Been Passed in the Summer of 2019

The bill on lustration and purge of state institutions from oligarchic influence should have been adopted last summer, - President Igor Dodon said. The head of state believes that even now not all deputies will support this PSRM initiative, ntv.md reported. “We are talking about everyone who was appointed to a position in the departments subordinate to the parliament during the Plahotniuc period. This bill should have been passed in June last year. This was a mistake, as there was no desire to vote for this law. Now we have nothing to do with anyone and believe that this bill should be voted on. I am convinced that if you put it to a vote, the rest will not vote,” Dodon said. The PSRM faction registered a bill in parliament, according to which the powers of persons appointed to public positions in the period from January 20, 2016 to June 7, 2019, are terminated before the mandate expiration. These are structures such as the Audiovisual Council; Personal Data Agency; Securities Commission; Integrity Agency; Head and Deputy Governor of the National Bank; Energy Regulatory Agency; Telecommunications Regulatory Agency; Agency for the Dispute Resolution; Competition Council; Anti-money laundering agency.
