| Message | Mr Speaker, We from PSD, in front with Vasile Ciobotaru, believe that these economic reforms are vital for our nation to prosper. We see that the nation has no free healthcare, alongside many issues like fully privatized army, monopolies and discrimination at workplace permitted, trade unions forced to have votes before strikes and that the advertisement is not regulated at all, meaning all kind of BS stuff can come out without being stopped. This is madness since it leaves freedom for corporations to exploit people and put all kind of weird and innapropiate adds on the TV and not only. We call for sensible reforms now. |
