Chicu on Signing a Contract with a Polish Company: This Is a Violation

Former Prime Minister Ion Chicu commented on the signing of a contract by Energocom with a Polish company for the supply of one million cubic meters of natural gas. “To buy gas at a “secret price”, the “cousins” took 1.7 billion lei from the budget. We are not upset about the “secret”, because we understand that gas is more expensive (than Russia’s). If it were cheaper, Maia Sandu, upon returning from Vienna, would go straight to the Bogza TV studio (Lorena Bogza - the ProTV channel host - ed.). The problem lies in the allocation of 1.7 billion lei by the decision of the Emergency Situations Commission. Last April, when the government wanted to purchase medical equipment using this procedure, PAS, DA and others like them filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court which was obviously upheld. It is impossible to illegally withdraw 1.7 billion lei from the budget. This is a violation,” Chicu wrote on his Facebook page, unimedia.info reports. Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova Natalia Gavrilica said that she could not disclose the price at which Energocom purchased one million cubic meters of gas from the Polish company PGNiG. “This is a market price, about $ 1000 per 1000 m3, but this is a commercial secret, and I cannot name the exact figure,” the head of the Cabinet of Ministers said on the air of the program on the ProTV channel. The government of the Republic of Moldova announced on October 25 that a contract for the purchase of one million cubic meters of natural gas was signed between the state-owned company Energocom and the Polish company PGNiG. On October 22, the Republic of Moldova introduced a state of emergency due to the energy crisis for a period of 30 days. The prime minister explained that it is necessary to introduce a state of emergency “in order to bend certain procedures and laws”. Point
