"We know what to do next. We have a vision to develop Moldova's economy, how to raise salary, how to come with benefits and so on. We come with more projects. You are special, you decide your salaries. I see you made profit this year and we will talk with the director to raise your salaries as we raised wages of state employees", said Vlad Plahotniuc, the president of PDM.
Vlad Plahotniuc was accompanied by the candidate of the Democratic Party for the constituency 31, the Ciocana and Riscani sectors in the Capital. Chiril Gaburici stressed the importance of energy investments.
"We will continue to attract new investments. We know that we have several projects to change, adjust, renew and to benefit everyone. First of all, we should work efficiently, efficiency will certainly give us tariffs better for all our citizens, "said PDM candidate in the constituency 31, Chiril Gaburici.
