PAS LEADER REFUSES TO TAKE PART IN PARLIAMENTARY COMMISSION CLOSED HEARINGS

12 november, 2018

Chairwoman of the Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) Maia Sandu refused to participate in hearings of the ad-hoc parliamentary commission (created for investigating the circumstances of Open Dialog Fund's intervention in Moldova's internal policy), appointed for Monday.

She said at the briefing before the commission sitting that there is not a single motive that hearings to be held behind closed doors.

"I am not a public worker, thus I am not obliged to keep national secret. Commission members have no right to demand any explanations, because all its members are somehow connected with certain gray schemes. Neither PAS, nor the "Demnitate si Adevar" [DA, "Dignity and Justice"] Party have ever received financing from foreign funds", Sandu said.

She stressed that the right-wing opposition may report for each leu, received to the party accounts, bun no government official, no state institution will ever risk to check the entries to the accounts of the Democratic Party, which is financed highly non-transparently.

"The activity of this commission is a new farce of the regime. We are not responsible to these deputies, we are responsible only to the Moldovan citizens", she said.

DA Chairman Andrei Nastase said that Moldovan residents, who are paying taxes to salaries to MPs, have the right to access to information.

"This is why the opposition insisted on the presence of press. There is no sense to hold a closed dialog with deputies from Vlad Plahotniuc's harem. Maybe, these are our future competitors at elections. This investigation is not within the competence of the Parliament", the oppositionist said.
