On December 28th, Moldova’s President Igor Dodon signed a legislative initiative on cancelling the law on the state obligations issued in November 2014 and April 2015 for the payment to the National Bank of Moldova of loans unpaid back by the three failed banks: Banca de Economii, Banca Social\u0103, Unibank.<\/p>\n

According to Dodon, the measure of reimbursing the “stolen billions” from the banking sector is putting a burden on the shoulders of the citizens. Dodon reiterates his position that the stolen billions should be paid back by those who participated in the frauds, voted for or knew about them, but preferred to keep silent, the state officials and those responsible from financial-banking institutions.<\/p>\n

In his decree, Dodon wants the Parliament to examine his initiative and cancel the law on the billion payment. Moreover, the new President thinks that there are other measures in this context, stressing that he is “against the payment from the accounts of the current and future generations”.<\/p>\n
