Moldovan head of state gives speech at opening of new session of parliament

Chisinau, 16 September /MOLDPRES/ - President Igor Dodon today gave a speech at the opening of the parliament’s new session. In the discourse, the head of state demanded that the parliamentary majority and the government take more actions and yield more results for the people, make less geopolitics, euphoria and useless polemic, the presidential press service has reported.   

The Moldovan president asked the leadership to come up with a new approach dealing with the work of officials, an approach which is to put emphasis on the settlement of the urgent problems faced by the citizens.

Igor Dodon summed up the actions from the first three months of governance. He also referred to what does not work properly, especially the scarce activity of some ministries, which do not meet the society’s expectations, as well as about the fact that these ministries had failed to have a plan of clear cut actions to improve the citizens’ living.  

The president noted that the cabinet’s work so far had been confused in some aspects and during the last months, the governance spoke too much about what had not been done earlier, without unveiling a concrete plan of actions due to be undertaken in the long run. According to the head of state, “the honeymoon” has passed and the citizens start having justified questions as to the efficiency of the present governance. “They expect from the government concrete measures which are to lead to the improvement and securing of the salaries and pensions, solutions for a better social protection, an efficient strategy concerning the creation of new jobs, ceasing of political weedings out among professional civil servants, immediate actions for the country’s economic development, urgent actions regarding the construction of new roads and repair of the existing ones, boosting the fight against corruption in all sectors, which hit the citizens day by day,” Igor Dodon stressed.     

The head of state emphasized that all these actions, along with the implementation of the needed reforms in more fields, would make the present governance really be close to the citizens, in order to make their living better and contribute for a long-term. Also, Igor Dodon specified that these actions would help stop the leaving by Moldovans of the country and to create conditions for Moldova’s citizens who have already left to return home. Dodon said that the demographic crisis Moldova was going through for more years was the principal threat to the country, a threat which breaks up the state day after day and limits the prospect for a prosperous future.   

In essence, the goal of the Moldovan president’s message was to wake up to reality, to get out of the too long and non-productive euphoria, in which some politicians find themselves. Igor Dodon conveyed a message, thereby inviting to give up the tiresome geopolitical polemics and to eventually understand the crucial role of the current parliamentary majority and government in the protection of the citizens and developing the state.
