Elsewhere in the news, Cotidianul reads that only 9 Parliamentarians were present in all meetings of the Legislative in the September - December 2009 session. Many of the Parliamentarians did not even have a legislative initiative since their mandate started.

And more than a half of them resumed to only one or two political declarations. These are just a few of the conclusions of a study regarding the activity of the Parliamentarians.
