Pavel Filip: A day of demonstrations costs state budget three million lei, money that can double food of children from kindergartens
The events organized in the center of PAS Capital and PPDA cost the country's citizens three million lei each day. With this money, for example, the children's nourishment in kindergartens could be doubled, according to Prime Minister Pavel Filip. According to him, the actions of the two parties are nothing but sneaky electoral events.
"I think we did not have protests yesterday, not even today. What I have had is a political demonstration, attended by the PAS and PPDA, but also by the Sor Party, I am sorry that these electoral demonstrations have begun too "In this way, I want to thank my heart for those who have done their duty, these are the institutions of force who, in a situation, have faced the challenges without the use of special means," said Paul Filip.
"With this money we can do many things for the citizens. If we have ten political demonstrations that have been so far, you see that with this money we can double the food for children in kindergartens, we can increase the wages for young people coming to work in education from 40-120 thousand MDL. We will do this anyway, I am only sorry that this money is spent on the politicians who want to make their backs on the citizens and the popularity of the money of the state.This binom PAS and PPDA, they wanted to block the country's finances, and after they did, they go to the expense of public money", said Pavel Filip.
Regarding officials guarded by the police, the prime minister says the main purpose was to ensure public order at the ceremony.
"It is a normal thing that happens all over the world." The officials were not guarded, but the police assured public order at the ceremony, not only officials, but also veterans, ambassadors, and this is a government bond: public because it is part of a democratic process", said the prime minister.
Pavel Filip also denotes that the people who participated in the demonstration yesterday, divide society and resemble hatred.
"Republic of Moldova will become strong when citizens learn to be better, united, will smile and when we all go in the same direction It is a great crime for politicians who use people for political capital We have not had citizens' protests, but the demonstrations of the parties of the politicians. And the Democratic Party can do this, we have many more supporters, but we want to be a serious party with responsibility for the country", said Prime-Minister Pavel Filip.
The reaction of the two officials comes after this morning, several demonstrators led by Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase surrounded the monument of Stephen the Great and the Holy, where flowers had to be made. According to a press release of the Police General Inspectorate, they were asked to leave the location and were given more time. Some demonstrators, however, had aggressive behavior and obscene gestures toward law enforcement. Among them was Ilian Caşu, the municipal councilor of Bucharest from the party "Partidul Nostru".
Because the demonstrators did not conform, the police forces took them to the perimeter of the Banulescu-Bodoni streets with Stephen the Great. This is the case in all civilized countries when national events are organized, according to US Ambassador to Chisinau, James Pettit. "We are now hearing the sound of democracy, it is a normal process, and the separate protests and actions of the government, at least yesterday we saw that peaceful demonstrations were allowed." It is the most important thing", said James Pettit, US Ambassador to Moldova.
According to a provision of the City Hall, there are official events planned for this area long ago, and the local public administration bears direct responsibility in case of violent incidents, unless the necessary legal measures are taken.
