The parliamentary opposition will establish its own inquiry committee that will investigate the activity of state enterprises, in parallel with the one set up by the parliamentary majority. The announcement was made by the deputy of the Socialist Party, Vlad Batrincea, vice-president of the Parliament, who argues that the structure created by the government will not be able to ensure an objective investigation, reports IPN.
According to the socialist deputy, the opposition commission will request documents, submit inquiries and notifications to legal institutions, in order to verify the way state enterprises were managed and competitions within them were organized.
“We announce the creation of our own inquiry commission. It will be a parallel commission. We will take steps and make inquiries and we will request all the records of the competitions. We will also take all steps towards the legal authorities”, explained Vlad Batrincea during the “Rezoomat” show on RealitateaTV.
The Vice President of the Parliament argued that the opposition does not trust the efficiency and objectivity of the commission created by the parliamentary majority, on the grounds that it is supposed to investigate the actions of its own representatives.
“They will investigate their own actions and will do everything possible not to provide the information requested by citizens. We do not want to waste time with their commission. Someone wants to lead us in the wrong direction, to waste time. But we want to be useful to society”, Vlad Batrincea further said.
In the same context, the deputy accuses the government of trying to divert public attention from the subject of the state enterprises scandal to other topics on the political agenda. “They are now creating smoke screens, with the government’s resignation and the identification of the candidate, to cover up the state enterprises scandal, which truly interests the citizens”, the parliamentarian further stated.
At the last legislative session, the parliamentary majority voted for the creation of an inquiry commission that will examine the activity of state enterprises. The inquiry commission, led by the PAS deputy, Dinu Plingau, is composed of 11 deputies and will present, within 60 days, a report on the results of its activity.
