Prime Minister visits Orhei: the Government together with the National Bank has the task to reduce inflation
Modernization of localities, better conditions for villagers, and development of the business environment. These were the topics discussed today by Prime Minister Dorin Recean, on a visit to Orhei district. The Prime Minister visited several businesses and talked to people in the region about the problems they face.
Prime Minister Dorin Recean's visit to the Orhei district began in the village of Peresecina, where Petru Zestrea runs a modern iron and aluminium construction enterprise. It is a business started in 2010, thanks to Italian investments, and specializes in making greenhouses for vegetables and flowers, equipped with state-of-the-art technologies.
"We still have to negotiate with the European Union to get rid of taxes and there are barriers, technical ones. Then, it will be easier and you will be competitive on the Romanian market," the prime minister stressed.
"Without work and sacrifices we will not produce", says Petru Zestrea, company director.
The Prime Minister continued his visit in the village of Camencea, Donici commune, where a drinking water supply network is being built. The project, for which the Government has allocated 6.6 million lei, is part of the "European Village" programme.
"The work started on 1 November 2022. 104 households are connected to a well," says Sergei Guzun, mayor of Camenca village.
The villagers say they will have better conditions at home.
"We'll have permanent and purer water, more from the depth. We hope everything will be fine." "Everyone needs water." "Everybody wants to have conditions.-Where are we going?-To Europe".
Dorin Recean also visited Teleșeu, where a Moldovan and an American couple are building an ecological agro-tourism complex. Aaron Butacov says he has five businesses operating in Moldova and would like to start a few more. However, bureaucratic processes are giving him a lot of trouble.
"The biggest one is the laboratory. I'm an investor. We have others, we plan to build more. The easier it is to build them, the more I will make," the man said.
"What the government needs to do is to simplify the rules as much as possible and provide funding," replied Dorin Recean.
The Prime Minister also went to the city of Orhei, where he had a meeting with local public authorities and residents of the district. One of them complained about an impassable 900-metre-long stretch of road between Podgoreni and Zahoreni. According to him, there have been several road accidents on this stretch, which is said to be under the management of the Orhei District Council.
"It is regrettable that the local people are suffering. If you are not with that party in the district, they don't give you a penny," says one local. "Eventually, we have to intervene in one form or another over these injustices and abuses," the Prime Minister replied.
Seizing the opportunity, people complained about high electricity and gas tariffs.
"The government has the task, together with the National Bank, to reduce inflation. We through fiscal policies, they through monetary policies. We have to find resources and we find them to partially compensate for these price increases," said Dorin Recean.
This is Dorin Recean's fifth visit to the country since taking office on 16 February.
