LIVE The motion of censure, examined in Parliament. Dorin Recean: I don't know if it is a motion of censure it is rather the need for an electoral show

UPDATE: Dorin Recean: "I assume, rightly, that this suits you: both the lack of justice and the war. Otherwise you would be outraged by the crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine due to the Kremlin blackmailing our citizens with gas. You would be indignant at the bombs falling on kindergartens, schools, churches. You would resent the security risks that persist. You would be indignant at the fact that the logistics chains have been interrupted, that it is more and more expensive to export Moldovan production to the international market. Today, it costs three times more to export a truckload of Moldovan products."

UPDATE 14:04 Parliament took a break until 14:45

UPDATE 12:50 With the votes of 60 PAS deputies, Ana Revenco was appointed director of the Center for Strategic Communication and Combating Disinformation.

UPDATE 11:56 The amendment proposed by BCS did not meet the required number of votes. The statement of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova supporting the people of Israel and condemning the terrorist attacks was backed by 75 deputies.

On Thursday, in a plenary session, the deputies will examine the motion of censure on the activities of the Government of the Republic of Moldova, submitted by deputies from the Bloc of Communists and Socialists faction. The subject was included on the agenda by the Parliament’s Standing Bureau.

BCS submitted a motion of censure on the activity of the Government of the Republic of Moldova in the meeting of October 5. The opposition has criticized the high prices of agricultural products, thermal energy and natural gas, the state's external debts, which they say have increased significantly, and they are dissatisfied with the management of the economic sector. This July, BCS submitted the first motion of censure against the Recean Government and the second against the Executive appointed by PAS. In both cases it failed.

To dismiss the Government, 51 votes are needed, which the opposition does not have.

Also in the plenary session on Thursday, the Parliament is to approve the appointment as director of the Center for Strategic Communication and Combating Disinformation of Ana Revenco and the termination of membership in the independent Commission for evaluating the integrity of candidates for the position of member in the judges' self-administration bodies and Vitalie Miron's prosecutors.

Deputies will examine two draft laws to align the national legislation with EU legislation in the field of public procurement and on the use of passenger name register data. Also, in the first reading, the draft of the Land Code and the legislative initiatives that provide for tougher penalties for drunkdriving are to be discussed.
