He believes that the deputies do not fully use the tool to monitor compliance with the deadlines for the submission of important documents to parliament. So, the draft budget for 2019 came from the government with a delay - as a result, an important document was considered in an emergency mode. There are questions regarding the transparency of the state reserve fund. At the last meeting of the Presidium of the Supreme Council, its members initiated parliamentary hearings on this topic.

He believes that it is necessary to adhere to the current "course of stabilization" in order to avoid "the threat of a return to the helm of those who have unbalanced everything here to the limit".

We talked about plans for next year. According to the Chairman of the Supreme Council Alexander Scherba who took part in the meeting of the faction, a number of "systemic issues" will be discussed together.

Most likely, the speaker noted, the changes will affect the pension system. He explained that the pension burden on the Pridnestrovian economy is becoming unbearable, and now the state received a “respite”, due to the fact that some citizens have switched to the pension fund of Russia. During this time, you need to make sure that the pension system of Pridnestrovie has become consistent with the economic potential of the republic, said Alexander Shcherba.
