VI. Education
At present the education system in the Republic of Moldova is experiencing very difficult moments. The number of educational institutions has increased considerably, especially higher education institutions and lyceums and colleges. However, this process is not accompanied by an increase of knowledge. What is even more important, it was not ensured that the total population of young people and children of school age are covered by education. The tendency to promote education for fees becomes more and more strong. In conditions when the majority of population live in poverty, such a tendency may leave illiterate a great number of children, fact that will result in an increase of inequities and an accumulation of social contradictions. Villages are especially in a very grave situation from this point of view.
In order to get rid of such drawbacks, the Election Block “Alliance of Lawyers and Economists” proposes implementation of a plan of actions, which among other envisages the following:
- Revision of the education concept of the Republic of Moldova, so as to ensure that state education has unconditioned priorities;
- Re-consideration of the Education Law in order to increase the education sector revenue share of resources coming from the gross national product;
- Revision of the present state system of educational institutions evaluation and accreditation, so that it is performed from the national interest point of view (state institutions). Ban of institutions created exclusively for profit generation purposes;
- Financing of the state educational institutions will be done with money from the central state budget;
- Ministry of Education will ensure co-ordination and harmonization of fees for all education institutions, irrespective on their legal status;
- Increase and payment in time of salaries to educational personnel.
VII. Improvement of local power administration
Election Block “Alliance of Lawyers and Economists” comes with a broad set of initiatives aimed to ensure support for local power administration and to facilitate improvement of the local power bodies activity. They are:
- Promotion of the regional development within the context of national development;
- Promotion of the local economic development;
- Introduction of facilities in the taxation area;
- Allocation of micro credits;
- Creation of consulting and entrepreneur-ship centers;
- Services regarding exports;
- Decentralization and de-concentration of public services;
- Support of local strategies and policies within the local economy developments;
- Promotion of infrastructure development and support to the economic entities.
VIII. Maintenance of state administration
The absolute majority of civil servants are elderly persons, some of them being pensioners, other on the brink of their retire age. To a greatest extent they represent an inheritance from the soviet administrative system. Traditions they followed during times of their education and training do not correspond to the new historical conditions or to the task to create a new modern and social state, aiming to join the European Community. That is why the future deputies from the “Alliance of Lawyers and Economists” will undertake great efforts to promote young people in the public administration, provided, of course that they meet all requirements set forward by such a function.
IX. Election system
At present the entire Republic of Moldova constitutes a single election circumscription and elections are carried out based of party lists. That is why the elected deputies bear no direct responsibility in front of the electorate; They are not elected by voters from a particular settlement, but rather by the entire electorate. Theoretically the electorate is entitled to request that all deputies report to it. However, it can not achieve this in practice, because the deputies may not be made responsible. That is why the “Alliance of Lawyers and Economists” will plead that elections in territorial circumscriptions be also held in parallel to elections based on party lists.
X. About statutes of deputies and civil servants
The Alliance will request the following:
- Amendments to the Constitution achieving that immunity of deputies of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova be annulled, because everybody if equal in front of the Law;
- Reduction to the maximum possible level of material benefits to which the state servants are entitled;
- Consideration of the issue connected with amendments of the Law regarding the legal status of the civil servant;
XI. The deputies of the alliance will inform the population about the following issues:
- Privatization for patrimonial bonuses;
- Activity of the investment funds;
- Privatization for cash;
- Sales of the state goods;
- Deviation of international credits;
- Distribution and use of humanitarian aids.
XII. Regulation of employment of citizens of the Republic of Moldova in foreign count
In order to find jobs a significant number of citizens of the Republic of Moldova left for other countries lately, especially to such countries as Russia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal . Due to lack of correspondent regulations violation of the elementary human rights of the employees often takes place during such employment and sometimes the human dignity is violated also. There are mistreatment, seizure of property, imprisonment, and expulsions from the country.
In order to prevent occurrence of this kind of events deputies from the “Alliance of Lawyers and Economists” will insist to sign agreements of the Government of the Republic of Moldova with other countries governments regarding mutual employment of citizens of parties to the contracts, provided the labor Law of both parties is observed.
XIII. Platform regarding environment
Environment platform of our block follows the objective to familiarize citizens with issues concerning protection of environment in our country from the point of view of present development conditions and requirements and future integration in the European Union. Protection of environment is vital bearing in mind the fact that we need to be able to maintain our health, to protect natural values and to maintain their good status for future generations.
Human development constitutes one of the main objectives of our Block. We envisage to achieve it through a healthy economic growth, inter-dependent on the environment.
In order to ensure increase of the life quality and to benefit from competitive advantages of the society the Alliance of Lawyers and Economists assumes and supports the following principles:
- Creation of an adequate legal and institutional frame work able to facilitate and stimulate the dialogue between authorities and civil society regarding strategy, policy, programs and decisions concerning environment and social economic development of the country;
- Development of an integral environment monitoring system, environment information system, and the system ensuring control over the environment status development. These are perceived as essential instruments ensuring grounds for decision-making regarding protection of environment, evaluation of the national environment policy fulfillment and awareness of population;
- Encouragement of the ecological efficient production and of the sustainable consumption; Introduction and use of economic instruments for protection of environment;
- Development of a complex criteria system for the selection of potential investors: The criteria will include not only the sale price, but also obligations assumed by a buyer, such as new investments, maintenance of the staff membership and creation of new jobs, modernization of machines, introduction of measures ensuring protection of environment and production of export oriented goods;
- Introduction of ecology as a subject of the school curriculum, so that the ecological education starts from the kindergarten up to higher education institutions.
Thus, in order to have a clean and healthy environment we need to preserve the ecological equilibrium, to maintain and improve the natural factors, to prevent and combat pollution and to develop natural values. Each of us needs to have the belief of having an important role in the development of backgrounds linked with protection of environment, the latter being such a large and important area.
