Moldovan protesters refuse to discuss claims with premier

Chisinau, 4 May /MOLDPRES/ - Representatives of the Dignity and Truth Civic Platform (Platforma Civica Demnitate si Adevar) did not respond to the invitation of Prime Minister Chiril Gaburici to openly discuss their claims, which are the responsibility of the government, and raised in the demonstration in the Great National Assembly Square on 3 May, the government’s communication and media relations department has reported.

"This morning, I invited the organisers of the protests on 3 May to a discussion. In their list of demands are found, in part, measures aiming at the Cabinet. In my capacity as prime minister, I am open to discuss any claim related to the government's activity. I want to have transparent discussions on the actions that the government aims to achieve. We will do everything necessary for the good of our citizens", said Chiril Gaburici for the press.

Moreover, the prime minister stressed that "I am not a politician, but I am the prime minister of Moldova and I am accountable for the government I lead. I shall not deal with transmitting documents".

Another claim, which is found on the government’s list of priorities, is publishing the Kroll report. "We were the first ones to request the publication of the report, because all the ministers wanted to know what the state of things was. The publication of this report is the responsibility of the National Bank, because the contract with the Kroll Company has some restrictions and must be negotiated. I am not satisfied with the conduct of the investigation and I believe it is taking too long, "said Prime Minister Gaburici.

The premier asked media representatives to insist on making the Kroll report public.

In the end, the prime minister reiterated Chiril Gaburici opening for frank and transparent dialogue with the organizers of the demonstration on 3 May, and the desire to stabilize the economic situation in the country.
