“The accusation of the Government does not act to protect human rights in the territory controlled by the Tiraspol authorities does not correspond to the truth. The subject is constantly on the agenda of the Cabinet of Ministers and, in particular, of the Political Bureau for Reintegration ”. This is what Prime Minister Gavrilița says after the representatives of human rights in the Transnistrian region.

“During the press conference on January 26, Natalia Gavriliță confirmed that the Government of the Republic of Moldova has requested the European Commission to review the decision on suspending the export of scrap metal to the Metallurgical Plant in Ribnita. The Prime Minister mentioned that she acted in the interest of investors who intend to operate on the right bank of the Dniester, although she did not exemplify the extent to which the import of scrap metal into the Transnistrian region will develop the metallurgical branch in the territory of constitutional control. This confusing answer raises doubts and concerns about the transparency of the decisions taken and possibly the existence of a parallel negotiation process, when it comes to feeding the economic system on the left bank of the Dniester. Or, it is obvious that the profits of the plant in the town. Ribnita is largely broken down by a regime that continues to seriously and ostentatiously violate fundamental human rights and freedoms. We are concerned that, in spite of our insistence and our many warnings and efforts, the constitutional authorities of the Republic of Moldova continue not to refer to the European institutions and partners of the Republic of Moldova, to the same extent that steps are taken to guarantee the economic activity of some institutions. . from the left bank of the Dniester. The Government of the Republic of Moldova has not included the resumption of the import of scrap metal with minimum guarantees of respect for human rights in the Transnistrian region. We will reiterate that in the region are illegally and without any grounds detained citizens of the Republic of Moldova, to which the defenders or their relatives do not have access “, it is shown in a note issued by the Promo-LEX Association.

The Prime Minister claims that the Promo-LEX statements do not correspond to the truth and that the subject of human rights violations is constantly on the Government’s agenda.

“The accusation of the Government does not act to protect human rights in the territory controlled by the Tiraspol authorities does not correspond to the truth. The subject is constantly on the agenda of the Cabinet of Ministers and, in particular, of the Political Bureau for Reintegration. Regarding the used metals market, the inclusion of Moldova on a blacklist due to the activity of a company on the left bank of the Dniester is an extremely dangerous precedent that we cannot accept. The EU decision comes against the background of intentions to attract investment in the metallurgical market in Moldova, which would break the monopoly of the Ribnita plant in the use of metals collected on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, which discourages these investments. Decisions regarding the import of metals will be adopted by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova for each enterprise “, it is mentioned in the message posted by Prime Minister Gavrilița.
