The Parliament extended the state of emergency in connection with the war in Ukraine by 60 days
The extension of the state of emergency, for a period of 60 days, starting on August 8, was approved, on Thursday, in the plenary session of the Legislature. The decision was supported by 52 PAS deputies. The decision was adopted at the proposal of the Government of the Republic of Moldova.
The extension of the state of emergency is argued by the need to provide the Commission for Exceptional Situations of the Republic of Moldova with prompt intervention possibilities to ensure the country's energy and food security.
According to the decision of the Parliament, during the state of emergency, the Commission for Exceptional Situations will issue mandatory and enforceable provisions for the heads of central and local public administration authorities, economic agents, public institutions, as well as for citizens and other persons located on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
The deputies of the Bloc of Communists and Socialists announced that they are leaving the meeting in protest because they do not want to participate in the examination of the project.
PSRM deputy, Zinaida Greceanîi declared that the establishment of the state of emergency is not motivated and has negative consequences on the country's economy and society.
Prime Minister Natalia Gavriliţa, who came to the Parliament to ask for the extension of the state of emergency, mentioned that in the context of the Parliament going on vacation and maintaining the risks for our country, the decision is required to ensure in Chisinau a mandated power with all the instruments for managing crises. Natalia Gavriliţa claims that only those who would like our country to be vulnerable would vote against extending the state of emergency.
TRM.MD recalls that the state of emergency was established on February 24 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and since then it has been extended twice. Each time, the opposition was against the measure.
