The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova convened on 12 February for a plenary session that lasted approximately eight hours. The draft agenda for the plenary sittings scheduled between 12–20 February initially included 10 items and was published on 11 February, Promo‑LEX Association noted, TRIBUNA reports.

According to the Association, at the beginning of the plenary sitting, 11 proposals to amend the agenda were submitted, including seven requests for hearings put forward by PSRM (MAI, SIS, MC, MSPS and the Prime Minister), PPDA (the Prime Minister) and PN (the Prime Minister). Of these, only the PSRM proposal to hear the Ministry of Internal Affairs was supported by the plenary, with the date of the hearing to be set later by the Standing Bureau. Three proposals to include draft laws on the agenda were also submitted (two by PSRM and one by PCRM), as well as one request for exclusion submitted by PSRM, which did not receive the necessary number of votes.

“During the sitting, seven draft laws were put to a vote: three were approved in the first reading, one was approved in both the first and second readings during the same sitting, two were approved in the final reading, and one draft was examined under the re‑examination procedure.

Of the approved drafts, five were relevant to the European integration agenda:

• 2 drafts – Cluster 1 ‘Fundamental Values’ (Chapter 23);
• 1 draft – Cluster 2 ‘Internal Market’ (Chapter 3);
• 1 draft – Cluster 4 ‘Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity’ (Chapter 27);
• 1 draft – Cluster 5 ‘Natural Resources, Agriculture and Cohesion’ (Chapter 11).

At the same time, at least three projects in the fields of justice, agriculture and international cooperation were adopted by consensus between the parliamentary majority and the opposition.

The longest debate concerned Draft Law No. 15 of 4 February 2026 on amending the Education Code of the Republic of Moldova, which lasted approximately five hours,” the experts noted.

Promo‑LEX specified that decision‑making transparency was affected in the case of three draft laws, representing 43% of all projects voted during the 12 February 2026 sitting.

“The identified shortcomings refer to the failure to observe the minimum legal deadline of 10 working days for submitting recommendations from interested parties in the case of two draft laws, as well as the failure to publish, prior to the start of the plenary sitting, the accompanying documents for two draft laws (the opinions of the General Legal Directorate).

At the end of the sitting, during the Government Hour, the representative of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development responded to a question previously raised by MP Valeriu Muduc (PCRM) during the 5 February 2026 sitting. In addition, MP Adrian Domentiuc (PCRM) used parliamentary oversight tools by addressing three questions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” the analysis further states.
