Moldovan parliament speaker encourages young people to more actively get involved in taking decisions

Chisinau, 22 May /MOLDPRES/ - Participants in workshops, organized on the occasion of the Parliament’s Days, met Parliament Speaker Andrian Candu today, the parliament’s communication and public relations department has reported.  

“On 23 May 1991, a law was adopted, under which our country became Republic of Moldova and the legislative body gained the name of Parliament. We ruled to mark this day together with you, by giving up official events,” the parliament speaker said.  

The Question & Answer session lasted about one hour. The young people were curious to learn about the parliament’s working schedule and the legislative process. The speaker encouraged the young people to actively get involved in the decision-taking process.  

The youth showed interest in more details from parliament, including how the parliament speaker manages to moderate the plenary meetings, especially the ones during which there are hot political discussions, how the citizens can exercise the right to legislative initiative, as well as the events included on the parliamentary agenda.  

“The parliament’s rhythm of work has become more accelerated once the provisions of the Association Agreement started being implemented and the 2016 year was a productive one in terms of legislative creation. The working out of a law means much effort, beginning with secretariat, work in commissions, organization of public discussions, respectively, the quality of the laws adopted by the parliament is important and not their number,” Andrian Candu said.  

The discussions are part of the actions organized on the occasion of the Moldovan Parliament’s Days, marked on 20-23 May 2017. On this occasion, the parliament for the first time ever displayed two vintage cars, formerly used by officials and an exhibition on inauguration of the parliament’s museum will be opened on 23 May.
