Stepan Piron, director of the GRT television, said at a press conference last week that he is ready to resign so that a new contest for the position could be organized, only if the current president of the “Teleradio Gagauzia” company, Ana Harlamenco, leaves her position. The information comes from Gagauzmedia.md, according to which Piron made an appeal in this regard to GRT’s Supervisory Board (SB).
Piron claims that an audit should be conducted at the public company, but it should be done by a private enterprise instead of the Court of Accounts.
In her turn, the broadcaster’s president Ana Harlamenco claims that GRT is being “intentionally destroyed” by certain political personalities. In a declaration to the People’s Assembly of Gagauzia, she drew attention to the fact that “the Supervisory Board has come under the influence of some representatives of the autonomy’s leadership, and the illegal dismissal of presidents (first Ecaterina Jecova and then Ana Harlamenco) and the reduction of the production personnel bring significant financial losses to GRT.”
Harlamenco asked members of the People’s Assembly to put an end to “the destruction of GRT”, to interference into the performance by the SB of their obligations and to the conflict between the company’s managers.
Ivan Burgudji, controversial member of the Gagauz People’s Assembly and chairman of the Assembly’s Legal Committee, believes that GRT should stop functioning as a public company and should become a structure subordinated to the state.
On November 12, 2015, the court reinstated Ana Harlamenco in the position of president of GRT, thus annulling the decision of the Supervisory Board of November 10. It was the second court judgment after the one on November 4, which annulled the SB decision to dismiss Ana Harlamenco.
