The members of the parliamentary alliance didn’t come to the October 3 sitting where Parliament was to the examine the no-confidence motion presented by the Socialist, Communist and Liberal-Democratic MPs. Deputy Speaker Vladimir Vitiuc, who chaired the sitting in the absence of Speaker Andrian Candu, said that as the quorum was not present, the no-confidence motion cannot be subject to a vote, while the bills for which the Filip Government assumed responsibility are considered adopted and the Parliament’s Secretariat is to prepare them for signature by the Speaker, IPN reports.
Prime Minister Pavel Filip told the journalists that he wanted to deal with this motion, but was unable too given that the quorum was not present. He considers the parliamentary alliance’s decision not to come to the sitting in order not to provide a platform for demagogy to those who submitted the motion is correct.
The Socialist leader Igor Dodon said the absence of the parliamentary alliance from the Parliament’s sitting does not mean that the problems raised by the no-confidence motion have been solved. Based on this case, the Socialist parliamentary group will go to the Constitutional Court.
Inna Supac, who heads the Communist group, noted that the sitting should have taken place on a Thursday, when Parliament usually sits, as the MPs on Mondays go on field trips. She informed that the Communist MPs prepare a new no-confidence motion and addressed the Premier, saying that the end comes sooner or later.
In front of the Parliament Building, members and sympathizers of the Political Party “Our Party”, the Party of Socialists, the Party “Platform Dignity and Truth” and the Liberal Democratic Party staged a protest. The chairman of the Liberal-Democratic group Tudor Deliu came out before the crowd and said that the absence of the parliamentary alliance from the sitting represents defiance of the law.
The no-confidence motion was proposed after the Filip Government assumed responsibility for seven laws. One of these laws provides that the loans released by the central bank to the three robbed banks will be transformed into state debt.
