PROFILED PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE REFUSES TO PARTICIPATE IN INVESTIGATION OF DODON ACCIDENT

The parliamentary Standing Committee for National Security, Defense and Public Order has refused to take part in the ongoing investigation into the September 9 traffic accident, in which the presidential limousine, with the head of state inside, was damaged and overturned, along with another car from the presidential cortege.

MP Ghenadie Mitruc of the Socialist faction wrote in the social networks that during the Committee sitting on Wednesday, he raised the question of the necessity to apply the routine measures of parliamentary control over the activities of the Information and Security Service (ISS) and the State Guarding Service in the light of the extraordinary road accident.

"Insisting on organizing a hearing of the Heads of these specialized state power agencies, I proposed to invite them to report their fulfilling of legal norms and requirements, and after such hearing - to carry out a parliamentary investigation into the agencies' activities", wrote the Socialist.

He believes such an investigation is necessary to pour light on the questions being asked by citizens of the republic concerning the presence or absence of a criminal design in that road accident. The parliamentarian remarked also: "A group of persons controlling justice in our country have already formulated their own verdict to the accident".

For instance, Acting Director of the State Guarding Service Anatol Golea has already announced that he can guarantee by 100% that there was no attempted attack against the President, Mitruc wrote.

"Mr. Golea has apparently assumed the functions of investigation orВё rather, he wants to put pressure on investigation bodies and is thus exceeding his powers. Or maybe he is trying to hush-hush his official negligence. In normally functioning states the parliamentary majority MPs love so much, e.g. the EU countries, such a civil servant would have tendered resignation long ago", wrote Mitruc.

He reported that the parliamentary majority ignored the legal demand to organize parliamentary hearings and an investigation of the accident, and voted against the proposal or abstained.
