In a press conference, the leader of the National Alternative Movement Party, Ion Ceban, one of the leaders of the Bloc, emphasized that the diaspora contributes significantly to the national economy, but is ignored outside electoral campaigns, IPN reports.

Igor Cereteu, MAN representative of the diaspora in Barcelona, called for the mobilization of Moldovans abroad for the economic development of the country.

Olga Ursu, deputy mayor of Chisinau municipality, presented a set of measures for the reintegration of compatriots returning home.

"Through the Return Home program, we support capital repatriation, tax exemptions and social integration. We will create legal mechanisms for investments of Moldovans from the diaspora," Olga Ursu said.

Victor Tvircun, a former education minister, called for efficient consular services and the establishment of a "diaspora advocate to defend the interests of Moldovans living abroad.

"We strongly believe that Moldovans in the diaspora have the right to efficient, accessible and transparent services," said Victor Tvircun.

MP Gaik Vartanean mentioned the importance of diaspora involvement in the decision-making process. "We propose to organize regular forums and consultation sessions so that the voice of the departed citizens can be heard and taken into account in the state's strategies," the MP added.

"All these proposals will be subject to public consultations with citizens and experts in the field and will be included in the future Country Program of the Alternativa Bloc," a press release said.
