Parliament rejects hearing of ministers over Cocieri care centre scandal
The PAS majority voted against a hearing of the labour and interior ministries over the Cocieri residential care centre.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
The Parliament did not order a hearing, so there is no inquiry into Cocieri for now. The Ministry of Labour says the staff accused of abuse have been dismissed and prosecutors are running the criminal investigation. The ministry wants to move residents from this large institution to small community-type centres, but the reports give no date for it.
What happened
PSRM MP Vladimir Odnostalco asked for hearings of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The proposal was rejected by 51 PAS MPs who voted against it. The labour ministry promised urgent measures at the Cocieri centre, where about 360 people live.
In short
- 51 PAS MPs voted against the hearing.
- About 360 people live at Cocieri, nearly 260 of them with psychoneurological disabilities.
- The Institute for Human Rights found bathrooms with crumbling plaster and food that does not reach plates.
- Accusations of sexual abuse have reached the Prosecutor's Office.
