A draft law has been registered in the Moldovan Parliament obliging all deputies to know the state language and use it in their work..

According to the Moldovan edition of NewsMaker, the bill was registered by deputies of the Liberal Party.

The bill prohibits running for parliament to citizens who do not speak Romanian.

The bill also proposes not to translate bills into Russian and oblige deputies to speak in parliament only in the state language..

In case of adoption of the draft law, the legal commission of the parliament will be entrusted to develop a mechanism for testing the knowledge of deputies of the language.

The authors of the bill explain the initiative by decisions of the Constitutional Court recognizing the supremacy of the Declaration of Independence over the Constitution, in which Romanian is called the state language, and recognizing the law “On the Functioning of Languages” as “obsolete”.

The explanatory note states that since the Constitutional Court recognized the law as outdated, there is no need to preserve the status of the Russian language - the “official language of the USSR”.

On the translation of bills into Russian, they plan to save 1.5 million lei (2.4 million UAH) per year. European truth Source: European truth.
