The MPs of the PAS group and PPPDA group of the ACUM Bloc regret that Parliament refused to include the statement on the commemoration of the events of March 2, 1992 in the agenda of the February 27 sitting of Parliament. In a press briefing, a group of MPs of the two groups said the parliamentary majority sent a bad signal to society, IPN reports.

PPPDA MP Igor Munteanu said the non-adoption of the statement means that the MPs of the so-called government coalition dissociate themselves from the national policy red lines concerning the Transnistrian settlement process. “What we all, those who realize the importance of this date for the remembrance of the victims of the conflict of 1992, want is for the Republic of Moldova to have a coherent, unitary state policy aimed at the definitive settlement of this conflict,” stated the MP.

PPPDA MP Kiril Moțpan noted that if Parliament had adopted the statement, it would have transmitted a clear signal that the implementation of the international conventions to which the Republic of Moldova, as an internationally recognized state, is a party to cover the population and territory on the left side of the Nistru is the only realistic option for ending this frozen conflict. By the statement, the MPs were to ascertain that the provisions of the agreement of July 21, 1992 from the very beginning were and continue to be seriously violated by the separatist Transnistrian regime.

“Our principled position is that peace on both sides of the Nistru is due not to the so-called peacekeeping operation, but rather to the uncontestable fact that this conflict no longer exists and is fueled only by the interests of crispate oligarchies and uninvited military bodies present on the territory of an unrecognized state,” said Kiril Moțpan, reading the statement.

According to PAS MP Igor Grosu, the rejection of the legislative proposal to adopt the statement is a regrettable gesture that shows disrespect for the victims and the contribution made by the Moldovan citizens who took part in the Nistru war.
